monger, the first district commander. i'll provide a brief recap of the efforts for the tween one foot submersible with five people on board along with providing an update on current search efforts. on behalf of all the men and women of the united states coastguard, we offered our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers for the five crew members, theirfamilies and loved ones. our crews are working around the clock to make sure we are doing everything possible to locate the titan and the five crew members. yesterday, we set up a unified command consisting of expertise from the us coast guard, navy, canadian armed forces and coastguard and the titan's parent company, ocean gate expedition. this requires expertise and specialised equipment. while the us coast guard has assumed the role of search and rescue mission

carburettor, we do not have the necessary equipment required. the command brings that expertise and additional capability together to maximise effort and solve this very complex problem. we're out of order here. as a recap, on sunday, the coordination command centre in boston received a report from the vessel, puller prince, with five people on board. it was attempting to dive east of cape cod 400 mile south of saintjohn�*s newfoundland. the polar prince lost all communication with the titan.

the us coast guard in boston assumes a responsibility of search and rescue mission coordinator and immediately launched search assets. since sunday, the coastguard has coordinated such efforts. an area larger than the state of connecticut. the search efforts have focused on both surface, with a c-130 focused on both surface, with a c—130 aircraft searching by site and subsurface with c peary aircraft. today, those efforts have not yielded any results. search efforts have continued through last night and today. the vessel deep energy, 194 metres arrived on scene with underwater 00v capability. they have rendezvoused with the vessel polar prince, and convinced a dive at the

last known of the position of the titan and the approximate position of the titanic wreck. that is currently ongoing. additionally, a community is connecting six—hour search of the area and several c—130 aircraft and another p3 are scheduled to live this afternoon. the canadian coastguard john cabot is scheduled to arrive and several other vessels in the coastguard sycamore are in route. the us coast guard has additionally... the us navy's supervisor is working with us transformation command to bring additional assets. these more capable assets will be staged at a saintjohn before their transport. there are also several private vessels and capabilities that are joining the efforts. i want to reiterate this is a very complex

search to bring all available assets and expertise as quickly as possible in an effort to solve this very complex problem. we'll continue to provide updates as they become available and our thoughts and parries are in the —— with the crews. we will take a few questions. tethered to a ship... crews. we will take a few questions. tethered to a ship. . ._ tethered to a ship... that's kind of a va . ue tethered to a ship... that's kind of a vague question. _ tethered to a ship... that's kind of a vague question. it's _ tethered to a ship... that's kind of a vague question. it's our - a vague question. it's our understanding that the current rop thatis understanding that the current rop that is deployed has some limited capability —— rov. it has a camera onboard, but each of those is different and will gather more information.—

boston. a number of bits of information that have come through. one being that there is an estimated 41 hours of oxygen left on board. this was based on the initial report according to what we just heard, as you may remember. there was an estimated 96 hours as the starting point in the update we received there was there was around 41 hours left. it obviously is a huge search area. they reiterated the size of the area they're searching, which is larger than the state of connecticut. it's 900 miles east of cape cod, and they talked about the logistical challenges of getting the equipment there. there's a huge amount of equipment and rescue vessels that are being used both for surface search and subsurface search, but they talked about the challenges of getting that very heavy equipment there. they also

mentioned that there are some civilian ships offering to help as well. let's go back to that news conference now. i well. let's go back to that news conference now.— well. let's go back to that news conference now. i know there is a number of _ conference now. i know there is a number of pieces _ conference now. i know there is a number of pieces going _ conference now. i know there is a number of pieces going out - conference now. i know there is a number of pieces going out there | number of pieces going out there logistically, it's easier. can number of pieces going out there logistically, it's easier.— logistically, it's easier. can you live a logistically, it's easier. can you give a little _ logistically, it's easier. can you give a little bit _ logistically, it's easier. can you give a little bit more _ logistically, it's easier. can you give a little bit more clarity - logistically, it's easier. can you give a little bit more clarity on | give a little bit more clarity on what _ give a little bit more clarity on what kind _ give a little bit more clarity on what kind of assets you have put in the water? — what kind of assets you have put in the water? i— what kind of assets you have put in the water? ., �* ~ ., ., �* the water? i don't know, i don't know the _ the water? i don't know, i don't know the answer. _ the water? i don't know, i don't know the answer. i _ the water? i don't know, i don't know the answer. i know - the water? i don't know, i don't know the answer. i know a - the water? i don't know, i don't know the answer. i know a lot l the water? i don't know, i don't| know the answer. i know a lot of the water? i don't know, i don't - know the answer. i know a lot of the questions were unanswered, and a lot is because we're not the right agency to answer that. we should be able to give the answer, but we want you to hear it from the civil experts. that's our next plan, get an opportunity for you all to have better experts we can into one location. to give you the best we

somebody within that community to answer that question a lot clearer than anything i could would be able to. we do have a press release that's going to go out shortly. probably similar information to what was passed today. if any new information comes up, we'll update that, but i think ideally, we'll put out rest releases daily and look at doing another briefing tomorrow. could you just reiterate for us, how bil could you just reiterate for us, how big of— could you just reiterate for us, how big of an _ could you just reiterate for us, how big of an urgency is this? the coastguard prioritise these things. classified — coastguard prioritise these things. classified them as priority read, one or— classified them as priority read, one or two _ classified them as priority read, one or two or three. how big is this? _ one or two or three. how big is this? , , :, :,, one or two or three. how big is this? ,,:, , :,, this? this is our top priority right now. we this? this is our top priority right now- we have — this? this is our top priority right now. we have every _ this? this is our top priority right now. we have every available - this? this is our top priority right i now. we have every available asset we can that we can dedicate to this.

that's why we are spending so much time and energy trying to co—ordinate this enormous response effort to truly understand the scale of how far away this truly is. and in the context of the types of assets that we can get out there over something that's that enormous is something larger than the state of connecticut, and the perspective of connecticut, and the perspective of what is available to be able to search in those conditions so far offshore. 900 miles. it is an enormous amount of distance. i5 offshore. 900 miles. it is an enormous amount of distance. is a deep rescue _ enormous amount of distance. is a deep rescue effort realistic? i - deep rescue effort realistic? don't know what it would deep rescue effort realistic?“ don't know what it would look deep rescue effort realistic?_ don't know what it would look like. that's all part of the conversation unified command are looking at. doing everything they can to find out the options. the doing everything they can to find out the options.—

is an estimate, it's around 40 hours of oxygen left, and that was from the 96 hour starting point. they also talked about the complexity of this research operation. let'sjust remind ourselves about this huge search. the race to say five people on board this submersible. it went missing in the neural atlantic —— north atlantic. just a reminder of what the search entails, scouring the ocean around 640 km of the coast of newfoundland in canada. dropping sonar boys to detect any underwater activity. the titanic lies nearly 4000 metres beneath the surface. on sunday, all contact with the sub was lost. around an hour and 45 minutes into its dive. there's only enough oxygen for up to 96 hours, and as we

heard, the estimate is that level is now closer to 40 hours. we'll be speaking to a friend of one of those on board shortly, but first, let's speak to our news correspondent in boston. carl, i know you are listening into that conference. that estimate of around 40 hours of oxygen left really adds to the urgency of these search. it really does, urgency of these search. it really does. and _ urgency of these search. it really does. and it _ urgency of these search. it really does, and it was _ urgency of these search. it really does, and it was quite _ urgency of these search. it really does, and it was quite striking i urgency of these search. it really does, and it was quite striking to hear directly from the us coast guard about the level of urgency in terms of the 40 hours of air that may be left. they called it their top priority and they said that they were doing a full press around all the resources they have to try to find this vessel. it was interesting also to mention what they mentioned, they don't have the capabilities on their own to conduct this operation. that's why they brought in so many different agencies. the canadian

coastguard, the us navy, private companies and private vessels all involved in the search. we also heard the update there that they have not seen any signs, they have not found anything so far in this search that's gone on since sunday. not the news many of us were waiting to hear. they did say they haven't it's interesting to note they were asked they were —— about these drones, and when they were asked about whether they might have some sort of salvage capabilities or rescue capabilities, they did not answer that question. it seems right now, the laser focus answer that question. it seems right now, the laserfocus is answer that question. it seems right now, the laser focus is on locating this vessel, but there are still some open questions about if it is located, how they might be able to then rescue the people inside or bring that vessel back to the surface if it is indeed still at the bottom of the ocean. thud surface if it is indeed still at the bottom of the ocean.— surface if it is indeed still at the bottom of the ocean. and carl, one of the things _

bottom of the ocean. and carl, one of the things they _ bottom of the ocean. and carl, one of the things they mentioned - bottom of the ocean. and carl, one| of the things they mentioned is they haven't found any sign of it today, they said their search hasn't yielded any results, but one note of perhaps optimism is that they said the conditions for the search weren't particularly good. but that it was improving today. bud weren't particularly good. but that it was improving today.— it was improving today. and that's one of the many _ it was improving today. and that's one of the many difficulties - it was improving today. and that's one of the many difficulties in - it was improving today. and that's one of the many difficulties in thisj one of the many difficulties in this search, what makes it so difficult is the weather. this really is the open seas. you might have open the weather has begun to shift. very bad visibility over the past few hours. it could be changing and that might help those search operations in terms of the aircraft they have circling the area. they also emphasised how big of a territory they're looking. they're searching they're looking. they're searching the equivalent of the state of connecticut. it's a very wide zone. casting a wide net so they don't miss any signs of where the vessel might be. but they also emphasise

it's notjust an aerial operation, is also a surface operation with listening devices and they're looking below the surface as well because they simply don't know where this muscle might be. they really are using all their capabilities and bringing in more from other agencies because this is such a specialised and at such a difficult search. timer;r and at such a difficult search. they emphasised _ and at such a difficult search. they emphasised the _ and at such a difficult search. they emphasised the complexity of it. one of the activex that's making it so complex, it was because it both surface and subsurface, but they also talked about the challenges of actually getting additional equipment to the location. yeah, one ofthe equipment to the location. yeah, one of the things — equipment to the location. yeah, one of the things that's _ equipment to the location. yeah, one of the things that's important - equipment to the location. yeah, one of the things that's important to - of the things that's important to to of the things that's important to understand is that the equipment understand is that the equipment that's necessary to go down to these that's necessary to go down to these kinds of tips that we're talking kinds of tips that we're talking about, because a traditional about, because a traditional submarine would only go a couple of submarine would only go a couple of hundred metres below the surface of hundred metres below the surface of the ocean, and where this the ocean, and where this

submersible was trying to go was submersible was trying to go was several thousand metres. this truly is almost unthinkable depth. to get the kind of
