miguel marquez is live where the canadian coast guard is headquartered. miguel, what can you tell us about the search that's under way right now? >> reporter: they are clinging to every hope. and those sounds, no matter how indistinct they are, are their best focus and interest right now for where that submersible may be. i can tell you that here at horizon maritime, the company that owns the "polar prince" ship that took the submersible out there and is now participating in the search. this company will hold a press conference in about a half hour. we will stay on scene and bring that to you. with regard to those banging sounds or the sounds that were described in the department of homeland security e-mail or briefing as banging sounds at regular times, every half hour or so, today the coast guard saying it might not be as definable and as specific as that, but it still gives them hope. >> that data was sent immediately to the navy last night and it was analyzed overnight. they're still looking at it. i can tell you that it's inconclusive. but again, i th

we have miguel marquez in newfoundland with the latest on the search. what are you learning? >> the window in that search is closing, and the urgency here is certainly picking up in the sense that all of the pieces of this massive puzzle are coming together. it is this rov, the remote operated vehicle, that is on sea floor now, and searching for that sub. another rov is on the way down, and it takes about eight hour, and it will be this there in four hours or so, and it can assist in searching for the sub. the ship behind me is meant to be taking asalvage gear that is sitting in the airports here at st. johns that can salvage almost anything from depths greater than what they are dealing with out there. do keep in mind that all of this takes a lot of time, and it is takes about 20, 24 hours for the ships to get from here in st. johns to the site of the "titanic" wreck, and the oxygen question, and if they are alive, will that oxygen hold out. we have eclipsed the time that they believe they had down there, but, ph nargeolet is a very experienced oceanographer, and people who

miguel marquez, keep us posted. thank you very much. kate?hope with the understanding of just how risky, how dangerous it is down there as everyone knows. >> there's only a handful of people that have ever seen the titanic's wreckage in person and it is part of a growing trend known as extreme tourism where people pay huge sums of money to push the travel, and it is inherently dangerous. cnn has learned two -- cnn has learned that years ago two employees raised safety concerns about the now missing oceangate submarine. cnn's tom foreman has more on this and he's joining us now. tom, what are you learning? >> hi, kate. as the hours tick down, the questions are coming up more and more about how this reached this point. specifically, how this submersible was developed. you mentioned the employees there and an industry group and there was a letter from the new york times from them in which they said what was happening at oceangate and our apprehension that the experimental approach and developing this craft could result in negative outcome from m

cnn's senior national correspondent miguel marquez is at the port where the troubled journey began. t for the search efforts. miguel, what are you learning? >> reporter: there's a massive amount of resources headed to where i am standing. st. john's in newfoundland in canada. it is all hands on deck as resources from both the u.s. and canada move in. this is the sister ship to "the polar prince." we suspect that it may be loading up with gear to take out there. it is an absolute race against time. >> this is a complex search. >> reporter: a complex search now more complicated by time, which they're running out of. >> we know there's about 40 hours of breathable air left. >> reporter: deep water submersibles and gear converging on st. john's newfoundland from the u.s. and canada. it's the closest land to the search zone. if "the titan" can be found, they'll need to bring all resources to bear as quickly as possible. >> you're dealing with a surface search and a subsurface search. that makes it an incredibly complex operation. >> reporter: the five-person submersible started around 9:0

. >> miguel marquez is live in st. john's, newfoundland.ships are heading the search area with special equipment. what's the latest? >> reporter: yeah, there is salvage gear that arrived overnight and a c-17, it's at the airport now. it will be transported here and put on a ship and moved out this there. it takes about 24 hours to get from here to there. maybe 20 hours or so. still, it's a long time when they have a dwindling window for saving these people if, in fact, they are alive. the time that they estimated they might have for oxygen expires about now, but p.h. nargeolet is on that craft. people i have spoken to here that know him, that know his abilities, say that he would have kept people calm in there, kept them breathing very shallowly so they could preserve as much oxygen as possible. this is still very much a search and rescue mission and searches are going to treat it as though they are alive. important that they got an rov down to the bottom and on the bed of the ocean in that area, but they still don't know exactly where the

cnn's miguel marquez is near the hudson river in new york. , has the air improved at all in new york since yesterday? >> reporter: it's improved enormously. it is still smoky but not nearly as bad as it was yesterday. i want to show you we're here on the hudson. you can see the statue of liberty there off in the distance. it's probably a couple of miles from us and you can see that haze. that is not fog. that is not mist. that is smoke still in this area. but the smoke and the weather conditions that are causing it are still creating a massive problem for a huge swath of the country, everything from wyoming in the west to louisiana in the south all the way to georgia. just an incredible amount of smoke. a couple of mlb, major league baseball games, were canceled or postponed yesterday. another one today. horse racing at belmont also canceled. as you mentioned, the schools here in new york city canceled. flights have continued to be interrupted. there were some out of philadelphia that were interrupted today because that visibility is just so p

cnn's miguel marquez is in canada. victims in that sub, they are, of course, breathing tonight, and they want to know how this could've happened. >> reporter: yeah, and a lot of people want to know how this could've happened. not only is that official investigation by canadian officials underway, but at the subsite itself, there is a remote operated vehicle, or remote stub, that is down there napping the details of that debris field, hoping to find clues to why the titan failed. a day of mourning, flag at half staff, a rose for each victim of the titan. >> he was this big, lovable guy. he was a prankster, but he cared so much about his family. >> reporter: john pascal speaking about paul-henri nargeolet, his stepfather, experienced deepwater diver, known as mr. titanic for the number of dives he made to the ship. >> honestly, when, when he told me he was going back out for this expedition, when i saw him in may, i really, honestly didn't think twice about it i said, have fun, be safe, and i'll see you in july. >> report

cnn national correspondent miguel marquez is there in newfoundland. thank you for joining us. you have been there for so long, and what do you feel it is like there now that we know that they will not have the bodies to be recovered? >> it is real sense of mourning here, as people are bringing flowers to various areas of the park here. and they are awaiting the arrival of the "polar prince" the mothers ship of the "titan" that dropped it off of the skids to get down to the "titanic." there was real, real hope, and even if it was minor, and everybody knew that the stakes here and the ris rks, and there was hope that they might find them alive, and that is what this enormous search and rescue effort was undertaking. the effort in the event that they survived whatever event happened there, and underwater and icy conditions running out of oxygen, and pitch black, that sort of stuff of nightmares was certainly driving a lot of the hope here that they would find them in that situation, and the urgency of the search for them that it didn't happen, and that their end came so end and m

miguel marquez is live where the canadian coast guard is headquartered. what more are canadian officials saying at this hour? >> reporter: well, horizon maritime just held a little press statement and took some questions from the press. this is the company that has the "polar prince," the ship that they do a range of different things, everything from oil exploration and gas, and they were talking about the "polar prince," that it is the ship that took the submersible out there, it is now participating in the search as well. and the other ship that they have, the "horizon arctic," that was ported here and then there were three u.s. military c-17s that flew in yesterday, a ton of gear in that including a deep water remote operated vehicle that is now on that ship and headed out to the search area as well as a coast guard ship here. it is just -- it is full-on, there will be ten ships out there in the next 24 to 48 hours. they know that there is a time issue because of the air issue that the submersible has, but my sense is that they want to keep looking for

i want to go back the miguel marquez. can you recap and set the table for us on where we are at this moment? >> reporter: yeah. today was a critical day. that window is closing for how much air they may have in that submersible. the gear from around the world has arrived in st. john's is getting on scene and they're able to get down to the surface. there is very sophisticated sonar gear. this is an area they've mapped many times. they know what debris is down there. they know wlag the "titanic" looks like down there. so they must have seen something that was different. we started to hear among even people here and who know oceangate. we started to hear that something was possibly found. then the coast guard tweeting a debris field was skfrd in the search area by an rov near the "titanic." experts are evaluating the information. then they say they'll get more information at the next press briefing. it's not being received as good news. one of the concerns among people who know this craft, this submersible, they say there w

our great lineup of reporters with me tonight are harry enten, paul sandoval, john avlon, and miguel marquez. also with us reporting from d.c., we have caitlin polantz. okay let's get right to a cnn exclusive. sources tell cnn that a room at mar-a-lago it was flooded in october. that room happened to contain computer servers with surveillance video logs on them. this is raising suspicions among federal prosecutors who are investigating donald trump's handling of classified documents. also, kaitlan, tell us about your reporting and why investigators don't is chalk this up to a pool plumbing problem? >> allison, they very well could. it could be a pool plumbing problem, we are in many reporting that says that they got to the bottom of why the pool draining led to the flooding of the very room where i.t. equipment and surveillance videos being kept around a time when the justice department also wanted access to surveillance video, but you know, this is one of those things that just fits into a series of events where we know they have been asking questions about that very surveillance footage. a

first, i want to go to miguel marquez who's in newfoundland. the debris field was found just off the coast of canada where you are just 1,600 feet from the titanic's wreckage. >> my gauod, alex. we were hoping, everyone, the number of rescuers out there day and night hoping for a miracle. and today it all came to an excruciating halt. >> that debris field is consistent is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. >> reporter: a catastrophic implosion. five crew members onboard the titan submersible gone. the vessel torn to pieces by extreme pressure. >> we found five different major pieces of debris that told us that it was the remains of the titan. >> reporter: the destruction of the vessel so great debris found in two different areas just in front of it titanic, the wreckage they hoped to view. the debris 1,600 feet from the titanic's bow and consistent with where it would have fallen if there was an implosion as the ship was descending to the great ship on sunday. >> 200 plus meters from the bow, in consistent with the last com

we have athena jones, miguel marquez, omar jimenez, and elena train.so have katelyn polantz joining us from washington, with all the news from out of there. so, we start this hour with cnn's reporting on former president trump acknowledging on audiotape that he still had a classified pentagon document about a potential attack on iran, after cuba's president. okay, so, katelyn polantz, tell us what we know. tell us more about this audiotape and what's on it and what this means for the investigation moving forward. >> well, alisyn, it is an audiotape that the justice department has. the special counsel investigation that is looking into donald trump, whether he mishandled national security information classified documents, and also whether he obstructed justice, as the justice department was trying to get all of those documents back. and so, this audiotape is quite significant for several reasons. and it's not just me saying that. there are sources that we're speaking to our team saying, yeah, this is very important. this is a big piece of evidence for t

we have cnn's miguel marquez following all of this from st. john's newfoundland. e very latest on these investigations. >> reporter: yeah, six investigations or inquiries in all so far. four different countries, the u.s., canada, french and the uk will all be -- their agencies will all be investigating. the royal canadian mounted police, they may bring criminal charges or start a criminal investigation if the facts of this case warrant it, they say. they will be looking into all of that. that is the polar prince here, this is the ship that took the titan out to the titanic wreck site. it was docked across the harbor here in st. john's for most of the weekend where the tsb here in canada, the transportation safety board was speaking to the crew, to oceangate employees and to some of the family members, christine dawood was on that ship, she was supposed to be on the titan, she gave up her spot for her son. she talked to the bbc about saying good-bye to her husband and son before they boarded the titan. >> we just hugged and joked, actually, because shahzada was so e

even if they are close to or at the surface. >> miguel marquez, thank you very much. for some perspective now, from someone who has done the training that those passengers have been through. a self adventurer, who has been part of two missions. as someone who has prepared for similar expeditions, what do you think might have happened with the submersible. i understand it has multiple systems to should wait to allow it to surface unless it was somehow trapped under the water. >> we are really in the realms of speculation at the moment. frankly, nobody knows unless you are on the vessel itself. what could have happened, it could have been a logical failure on board. if the systems are shut down clearly the communications are not working since sunday after the one hour and 45-minute descent. what is supposed to be happening in the scenario, the submersible is supposed to drop the weights and given these remarkable as might of a carbon composite material, it is supposed to go back up to the surface somewhere, which makes it a lot easier for the ships and airplanes to iden

i want to bring in miguel marquez, our reporter in new york city, in times square i believe still. e you are, miguel. tell us what the air feels like there so folks who aren't experiencing this themselves can understand. >> reporter: it's like you're out in the wilderness, and there's a arkansas a camp -- a campfire with a woodsy smell. that is amazing because the fires are so far away, and there are so many fires and so much smoke that it's being felt, and you can smell from hundreds of miles away. when i've been in los angeles or san francisco or other places that get inundated by wildfire smoke, usually you're 10, 20, 30 miles away. to see it in new york city, there's the world-famous ball that drops on new year's eve, as you look downtown there you can maybe see 10, maybe 15 blocks or so. but then you can't see beyond that. it is just bizarre to see here. if you look out east, that's where the sun rises. very, very dark down there. and you still have a bit of that orange sort of haze as you look east in manhattan. i'm going to have you swing all the way around here. look west. l

cnn's miguel marquez joins us now, where a new piece of developing water salvage equipment as a rightl us, as we know that they're working to get new equipment to the area, but they are also examining the noses, they figure out if they are coming from the missing vessel? have they got anywhere with that analysis tonight? >> they are moving in all directions at the same time. we know the c-17, another u. s. c-17 military large cargo plane as landed here in st. john's, and it has a very big piece of equipment that they need to get out there now, a deep ocean salvage system. our oren liebermann at the pentagon calls the stuff. now, they are trying to figure out how to get it out there. there are several coast guard vessels here and other vessels that might work for it, so they are apparently working out the contract to get that, that piece of equipment from the airport to the harbor here and then out to the search site. keep in mind, it takes about 24 hours to get it out to the search site, plus they had to get it from the airport to a ship here that is rigged to handle it. these are ver

. >>> now to miguel marquez, who is in lower manhattan.n covering the smoke throughout the day. what's it like out there tonight? >> reporter: it's a little bit better, but it's sort of -- it got better in the afternoon and then it seems to have gotten worse and worse. i want to show you. we're down in the west village right now. so, just, i don't know, a half mile or so or quarter mile from the world trade center. i want to try to show that to you if you can see it. the street lights just coming on here, a regular downtown day. it looks like it is foggy here. but that is all smoke. and the shocking and surreal thing about this is that these fires are hundreds of miles away. just a massive amount of smoke in los angeles, in san francisco, in australia, places that are accustomed to this. cities get inundated with smoke. the fires are usually 10, 20, 30 miles away. this is so far away, and there is so much smoke. i mean, people are very concerned. we do see a lot of mask wearing here. we were up in times square earlier. there's a lot of tou

. >> cnn's miguel marquez that is there with the latest. what are you picking up about the search as it is under way? >> well, the window of opportunity to find them is closing, and the urgency and the amount of gear and activity is picking up to a very high degree. there are two rovs in the water now, and one is a u.s. rov at the sea floor looking physically to try to find this submersible. the concern is or the problem is that one would expect an emergency beacon on the submersible to be locating the location, and they are not hearing that, and this is of great concern. they have heard these sounds, and perhaps banging or perhaps something else, but it is sounding manmade that they are trying to zero in on and that sliver of hope is where they are focusing on, and that submersible into a dive is taking eight hours to get down to the depth and it is going there now. and behind me is the atlantic king fisher and another ship that will take, we believe it is going to take a deepwater salvage gear sitting at the airport on the c-17 now, and b

miguel marquez is in newfoundland with the latest on the search. >> reporter: want to show you what's happening on the ground in st. john's right now. this is the sister ship to the polar prince that took the submersible out there. the titan submersible out there. that's what it launched off of. and the polar prince is taking part in the search for the submersible. there's three c-17 jets that have landed here. they have tons of gear that will bring on to this ship. a canadian coast guard ship is on its way to the search area. there are planes in the aero. planes not only look on the surface. but planes to drop buoys and listen for anything coming from that submersible. the ships are doing that, as well. at least the polar prince is. the easy part of the mission is to hear anything from the ship. the pressure is great that deep down. it is extremely cold. they are running out of oxygen. and they cannot find that ship yet, the submersible yet. getting it secured and hopefully bringing it home to safety. allison? >> miguel, thank you very much. let's bring you the experts. tim taylor, a

thank you, miguel marquez.. >>> and now, into the investigation of the murder of four university of idaho students. there is the prosecution who are saying that the dna is a statistical match to the dna at the crime scene. and jean casarez has the latest for us. >> there is a battle back and forth on the dna and the defense is going to be very aggressive in attacking this. the probable cause affidavit did say that the knife sheath lay next to the body of maddie mogen, and they are saying that the knife sheath was partially underneath the body of maddie mogen and the comforter, and the unknown button that they say would be a match to kohberger would be a match to the bedding there. and so they are saying that there is no match to mr. kohberger and the victims and there is no explanation they say for the total lack of dna evidence from the victims in mr. kohb kohberger's apartment, office, home or vehicle, so they are saying that there is no dna evidence that directly links to him in regard to the victims' themse

cnn's miguel marquez takes us through what we're learning. >> reporter: a day of mourning.g at half-staff. a rose for each victim of the titan. >> he was this big, lovable guy who's a prankster, but he cared so much about his family. >> reporter: jean pascal speaking about paul-henri narg nargeolet, known as mr. titanic for the number of dives he made to the ship. >> honestly when he told me he was going back out for this expedition, when i saw him in may, i really honestly didn't think twice about it. i just said, okay. great. have fun. i'll see you in july. >> reporter: the implosion of the titan underscoring the controversial design of the deep-water sub and the materials -- carbon fiber and titanium. it had reached the titanic several times before, but the ocean at those depths, unforgiving. >> this device was built much different than most diving submersibles. instead of using a sphere, which is very strong under pressure, instead it used two hemispheres on each end and then a cylinder in between made out of carbon fiber. it looks like it was that portion made out of c

cnn's miguel marquez is in newfoundland with more on all of this. is not the only investigation that's happening at the very same time. how will all of these pros work together? >> reporter: it is a lot of investigating, kate. at least six investigations, four different countries, the tsb, the transportation safety board, the canadian agency, will probably be doing the heaviest lifting, the u.s. national transportation safety board, the british and the french marine accident agencies, they will be involved, and then the rcmp, the royal canadian mounted police here, sort of the national police, will look for any possible criminal activity or concerns with this investigation across all those investigations, all of them will be sort of managed by international norms and laws so that they can all sort of cooperate together, but in the meantime the polar prince that took the titan out to sea, it is now ported in its home port, at its home dock the horizon maritime, it was across the harbor at a coast guard dock for the weekend while they were doing some

miguel marquez is a new plan tonight with the latest on the search, miguel. but >> mostly what's happening here on the ground and st. john's right now. this is the horizon arctic. this is the sister ship to the polar prince that took the submersible out there. the titans submersible out there. that is what it launched off of. and it is now the polar prince and is taking part in the search for the submersible. there are 3:17 big military cargo jets in atlantic and in st. john's. they have tons of gear to bring onto the ship, we believe. that will then pour out the canadian coast guard ship left earlier today and it is on its way to the search area. there are planes in the air, planes to not only look at the surface planes to drop buoys and listen for anything coming from that submersible. but the ships are doing that, at least the polar princess but the concern here is buddy should be locating that chip, appearing from it and getting an emergency beacon at some sort. they had not been able to hear anything from the ship so far. it is extremely -- the pressure

miguel marquez is in st. john's port in canada. we don't know if it is the "titan" vessel but we know they have exhausted their oxygen supply. there are doctors, aheimer barrack recompression chamber, all at the site right now. meantime, veronica is there and she just spoke to a former employee. you'll hear his explosive comments about the ti"titan's" experimental design. also more details about the five people trapped inside the tightan. we begin with jason carroll in boston. so jason, what are you hearing from the u.s. coast guard right now? >> we are waiting to hear from the u.s. coast guard. it is scheduled to get underway at 3:00. the rear admiral will be the one heading up the briefing. when we've been out here, it has been another one of the captains doing the briefings. they've released a statement that debris was found near the "titanic." it is now being analyzed. . we have more information about that analysis once that briefing gets underway. the titan went down 96 hours ago. four days ago. the oxygen supply at this point

johns with miguel marquez who is there. and we have just learned that the canadian transportation safety board is launching an investigation into the incident, and what more can you tell us? >> yeah. now that the u.s. coast guard has determined that the fate of the "titan" and we know that all five crew members are dead, the transportation board here in canada is opening up that investigation to figure out from their end what exactly happened. that is why what is happening here on the seabed floor is important to the investigation, and a remote operating vehicle is mapping out the remains of the titan. five large pieces they have found in two different debris fields about 1,600 feet in front of the "titanic," and they are hoping to glean some information about the implosion, and then explosion of that vessel and what exactly happened. they may end up bringing or try bring up some pieces of it, but it is a much more complicated process to do, but to all of this now becoming a very official process with the canadian transport

. >> more now from cnn's miguel marquez who is reporting from st. john's in canada. >> this is a search and rescue 100%. >> reporter: rescuers clinging to every sliver of hope. sounds from the owesescean dept could be a sign of life. >> noises were heard this morning and some yesterday. >> reporter: the noise described as banging sounds at regular intervals are now described as less specific than that, but still the focus of the search. >> we need to have hope, right? but i can't tell you what the noids s noises are. but we're searching where the noises are. that is all we can to. >> re do. >> reporter: and the sounds heard by buoys like this. >> this team has multiple sensors in the area, they are sending data back expeditiously to the best in the world. >> reporter: it takes about a day for the ships from st. john's to arrive at the search area. that search area is two times the size of connecticut. a grid pattern indicates the meticulous nature of the search and how it has expanded. the commercial ship "horizon arctic" left this morning with equi

. >> cnn's miguel marquez has the very latest from newfoundland on the effort. miguel, what is the latest that you're hearing on these sounds detected? >>. >> they haven't and as far as we know and maybe we'll hear more at 1:00 and these sounds were heard yesterday from a four-hour period and poseidon aircraft put buoys in the ocean and they picked up those sounds and another aircraft put buoys in some time later and they also heard sounds and it was the consistency that caught their attention, every half hour sounded like banging. as the day went on, though, they heard noises coming from the same area, but it wasn't described as banging. they're not quite sure what it was. here's how the admiral of the coast guard described those sounds. >>. >> there is a lot of metal and different objects in the water around the site. that's why it is so important that we've engaged experts from the navy that understand the science behinded noise and can classify or give us better information about what the source of that noise might be. >> so they sent that data to the u.s. na

our national correspondent miguel marquez joins us live from st. john's.we know about this investigation? >> reporter: well, there's going to be a lot of investigating of this incident. i want to point out that the ship that christine dawood and the titan was on is now ported, and docked at its home port outside of horizon maritime offices here, it was across the harbor at a coast guard port for the weekend where they collected evidence, canadian coast guard collected evidence, and took some statements. there are, as many as six different inquiries and investigations into this incident, the u.s. coast guard has announced its own investigation of a marine board investigation, the highest level of investigation it can do, the tsb, the canadian transportation safety board has an investigation it has started, the national transportation safety board of the u.s. has started an investigation, the french and british marine accident agencies have started investigations into this and the royal canadian mounted police, the sort of national police of canada says it w

more on the search this morning from miguel marquez. >> reporter: a complex search now more complicated by time, which they are running out of. >> we know there is about 40 hours of breathable air left. >> reporter: deep water submersibles and gear converging on st. john's newfoundland from the u.s. and canada. it is the closest land to the search zone. if the titan can be found, they will need to bring all resources to bear as quickly as possible. >> you are dealing with a surface search and subsurface search. >> reporter: the five person submersible started its dive around 9:00 a.m. on sunday, its last contact with the mothership was an hour and 45 minutes into a dive expected to last just over nine hours. at 6:35 p.m. newfound land time sunday, the sub reported missing when it failed to surface at the scheduled time of 6:10 p.m. the vessel has oxygen for five people for about four days. but oxygen is only one critical element. >> if they are alive and they are in there, they will be at almost freezing temperatures assuming they lost out their power, that is why they can't communicate

but first, cnn's miguel marquez with more about what we now know. miguel, you really have been covering this from the beginning, it is the worst possible findings. >> there was so much hope. there was slivers of it, but people really clung to it here in st. john's and across this community. and around the world, it was amazing to see how this story struck such a nerve. but sadly, i think most people that i was talking to didn't believe that there could be that miracle, and we're afraid that it could be a catastrophic event like this. and today, it was confirmed. >> and the newest information that we just got from the defense official was that, some sort of sonar equipment did hear some sort of a sound, that could be the implosion around the time they began listening a soon as they learned that there was a problem. >> well presumably, this technology picks it up automatically. it is meant to be a defense system. it is very unclear what exactly that defense system is. but it is amazing that they picked up. so one hour 45 into the nine hour drive or so,

miguel marquez is in newfoundland. there snow that we know this is only a recovery effort? >> i think that people had this in the back of their minds the entire week that this was the likely scenario and did not want to believe it. the search and rescue mission was massive, well-meant and serious. they had a large number of ships both in the air and on the sea out there. many of them now decamping back to their home ports. some of them still out there taking part in those mapping exercises that they're doing, trying to figure out exactly why it came apart and why it imploded, and then that debris fell the way it did. but here in st. john's, it has such a history with the "titanic" itself, with shipwrecks, with the sea, there's a great sense of mourning, of loss. this is also the place that if you are interested in going to the "titanic" and studying the "titanic" and going down to great depths, this is the place. it's 460 miles from the "titanic" site. it's the closest land to that site. this is the place that james ca

miguel marquez is in newfoundland. what are you learning about the search this morning?f we know there's a vessel on the sea floor. >> reporter: yeah, significant that they're down there. that will help them get eyes on the sea floor but it is pitch black down there. there is no ping, no beacon coming from the sub itself, the titan sub itself. i spoke to one person who had done that dive said there is a beacon external to the sub but it apparently is not working. the other way they send emergency communications is from the sub itself but it appears all coms are down on that sub. so the only way they're going to find it is the banging or the noise individuals inside, if they're alive, may be making or to get a visual sense of it. that means getting subs down approximately to where they believe it would have descended once it lost pour -- or lost contact an hour and 45 minutes into the dive they were doing. there's a second sub, a french sub, r.o.v. as well, a remote operated vehicle, that can reach those depths. that entered the water in the last few hours, takes about ei

>> miguel marquez reporting from new york. thank you so much for. that breanna?t approved what will be the state's first taxpayer funded school. the archdiocese will run this school for k through 12, but the government is already getting fierce backlash. the state's republican attorney general calling the approval unconsti unconstitutional. let's bring in ed laf darrah on this story. is they planning legal action? >> there's no question this is headed for the courts. but this is known as the oklahoma statewide virtual charter school board, which many probably didn't know existed 24 hours ago is sending shock waves through the education community, crass the country. this is the board that approved the application by the archdiocese of oklahoma city and tulsa to open up the adore of s vil charter school. this happened during a three hoff hour debate yesterday. the board voted 3-2 to grant the application for the school to open up in the fall of 2024 with an initial enrollment of about 500 students. this approve has shent shock waves through the education community,

. >> reporter: miguel marquez joins us.ne of the men involved in the company, he was not involved in this submersible and left the company years ago. but there are real questions about whether passengers should have been invited, paying passengers invited to be on this experimental craft that not gone through safety protocols. >> it was controversial from the start. the carbon-fiber hull, they -- when if first arrived, certain engineers expected it to be 7 inches. it was 5 inches. the titanium caps that go on the sides, the window, 21-centimeter window on it, all of that called into question and whether or not maybe could do it once, which it did, many times, went down to the "titanic" many times, but the wear and tear on those sort of on-devices and on-submersibles at that depth. the industry is so small and technical and they regulate themselves and there are very, very high standards for this. >> reporter: and the point that's made by folks like james cameron and other experts in this that if it has gone through a long s

cnn's miguel marquez is there where they try to find this lost submersible before it is too late. >> this is a search and rescue mission 100%. >> reporter: rescuers clinging to every bit of hope. indistinguishable sounds could be a sign, the sound of life. >> the noises were heard by a canadian p-3. and that was this morning and some yesterday. >> reporter: the noise described as banging sounds at regular intervals in the department and homeland security briefing are now described as less specific than that. but still, the focus of the search. >> we need to have hope, right? i can't tell you what the noises are. what i can tell you, and i think this is the most important point. we're searching where the noises are. >> reporter: the sounds picked up by buoys like this one dropped from planes. and then listening for any sounds of life from the titan submersible. >> this team has multiple sensors. they're in the area. they're sending data back expeditiously to the best in the world. >> reporter: it takes about a day for ships from st. john's, the closest land, to the "titanic" wreck sit

miguel marquez is here with me on the scene. so there is another mission to the debris site. it seems unlikely that they would be able to bring anything up at this stage? >> that would be a much more tricky and difficult thing for them to do. it sounds like. they do have gear to do it. but it would mean getting cabling gear down there and then yanking it up. the subs down there do not have the capability to do that. they are trying to finally map it out to understand the dynamics of the implosion. as the safety board announced its own official investigation of this tragic incident. a day of mourning, flag at half staff, a rose for each victim of the titan. >> he was this big loveable guy who was a prankster and but he cared so much about his family. >> john pass kael speaking about paul henry, his stepfather, experienced deepwater diver known as mr. titanic for the number of dives that he made to the ship. >> honestly, when he told me he was going back out for this expedition, when i saw him in may, i really honestly didn't think twice about it. i just said okay, great. go an

cnn's miguel marquez has been following this search from the very beginning at -- from st. hn's, newfoundland. miguel, so much has happened and changed in 24 hours since we last spoke. what's the sense there now? >> reporter: well, look, i think people here -- there is a special connection between people here in st. john's and the titanic, the wreckage, when the film "titanic" has made here james cameron set up in this area, people have pictures with him everywhere, when the titanic went down there is a whole history of it here as well. there was a great connection to the titanic. there was great concern that the people in that craft were sitting there in the dark in the cold dwindling oxygen, not knowing what the rescue efforts were going -- if they were going to find them or not. the stuff of nightmares. in the back of everyone's mind here was this sense that there could have been something catastrophic, that it could have hand. in some ways that may be a better outcome because the idea of the suffering that the people would have been going through down there if they had s
