Good ol bureaucracy.
For those who didn’t read the article - The Coast Guard does not have the equipment to even go deep enough. By now they’re tourists are probably dead, but there will be no rescue or retrieval of the submarine without outside help
Doesn’t the sub have 96 hours of air or something?
As an emergency supply, yes. However, it is unclear how much of it is left. People/news quote hour estimations, but it is anyone’s guess really. People in panic consume more oxygen. Additionally, it is still unclear what happened. For example, if they had a leak, they will probably have different problems than oxygen.
Let’s just hope that they manage to find them, at least in those 96 hours.
If they had a leak their problems are over given the pressures involved.
If they are not on the surface finding them is not the hardest part…
Down to about 30 hours now.
