A recent interview with an ex-navy sub guy that has done deep water salvage for a living his whole life stated (to the opposite of the Coast Guard statement) this is a salvage mission, not a rescue mission. Even if we find them, there is no way to get the sub to the surface in time to save them from these depths. [We’ve past that point already]. We don’t have the resources immediately available…..[and even if we did, it probably takes time to rig before actually raising….likely because it would be drones or other submersibles doing the rigging].
No sane person in the world would have agreed to this from the start, sign a waiver,then being bolted up from the outside, no tracker device for an emergency, they just went on this on a wing & a prayer hoping for the best, what these people were thinking from the start is absolutely mind boggling.
