The founder of RMS Titanic Inc. presented a bleak picture of the search for a missing submersible, saying there was almost no chance that anyone was still alive on the craft.
G. Michael Harris, a Titanic expedition leader, appeared on Fox News to present the sobering picture. Harris told host Jesse Watters that he knew three of the people on the sub, and he said one used to be his co-worker. The expedition leader also informed Watters that there was no way to remedy the oxygen situation on board.

“We carry O2 bottles with us in the submersible, and you also have CO2 scrubbers,” Harris answered when asked if there was any way to remedy the oxygen situation. “The O2 will last longer than your CO2 scrubbers, and if those CO2 scrubbers go, and depending on what actually happened at depth — just not feeling good about it.”
“No. No, I mean, I don’t see anything that can happen at this point,” Harris answered when asked if there was anything the U.S. Navy could do.

“I mean, I’m trying to be somewhat cautious and don’t want to basically be the naysayer of what’s going on. But when you’re talking 6,000 pounds per square inch, it is a dangerous environment. More people have been to outer space than to this depth of the ocean. And when you’re diving in these situations, you have to cross your t’s and dot your i’s. You have to do everything absolutely perfect and by the book, and throw in a bunch of tourists in a new sub that was just created over the last several years — it’s not looking good, Jesse.”
The leader said his team suspects something happened with the submersible’s hull and that it imploded at around 3,200 meters deep. Given that estimation, he said, there was nothing that could be done to save those in the craft.
