Teams searching for the missing submersible “need a miracle” to find it before oxygen supplies run out, a leading deep-sea explorer has told CNN.
“The good news there is that miracles can happen,” added David Gallo, the senior adviser for Strategic Initiatives at RMS Titanic Inc.
“We have to not think about the clock all the time, and just go as fast as possible,” Gallo told CNN’s “This Morning.”
“It’s tough because the oceans are pitch black — you can only use sound to image effectively, and you’ve got to be pretty much on top of the object to actually see it,” he said.
Gallo is a colleague of French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, one of the passengers on the sub. He said that Nargeolet, an experienced explorer, would ensure that the banging noises picked up by search teams “cannot be interpreted as anything but human,” if indeed the noises did come from inside the vessel.
Thursday morning was identified as a critical period for the search operation, with oxygen supplies on board the sub understood to have ended now.
