Search teams have deployed remote-controlled equipment to the floor of the North Atlantic in search of a five-man submersible crew whose oxygen supply has likely run out.
The U.S. Coast Guard said the Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic has sent its remote operated vehicle to the deep-sea bed in search of the Titan submersible.
Deep-sea salvage equipment from the U.S. Navy has also arrived at St. John’s, Newfoundland, and is on standby to be sent to the search area. The salvage equipment was used to recover an F-18 fighter jet from the Mediterranean Sea last summer. “People’s will to live really needs to be accounted for as well,” Adm. Mauger said. “So we’re continuing to search and proceed with rescue efforts.”
Dwindling oxygen also means there’s more carbon dioxide inside the craft. Too much carbon dioxide in the bloodstream can cause hypercapnia, a fatal condition if left untreated.
