The submersible only has enough oxygen to last for 96 hours underwater, making the search efforts critical to the survival of those onboard. “It’s an enormous challenge, one we’ve never had to tackle before,” Boxall told the outlet. “There have been tragic cases of military submarines sitting on the seafloor where they have a lot more resources and a lot more oxygen available, but in this case, time is very short and the next few days will be critical.
