If the submersible is still intact, searchers expect its oxygen supply will run out on Thursday morning. Despite best efforts, and a few hopeful moments, the search has yet to turn up any definitive results. "It does need to be remembered that hypothermia is also protective of the brain and heart, and as people get colder their metabolism slows down." said Dr. Ken Ledez, a hyperbaric medicine specialist in St. John's. "If alive and hypothermic, then oxygen could last longer."
The Horizon Arctic delivered an Odysseus 6K, from Boston company Pelagic Research Services. The French ship l'Atalante also arrived at the wreckage site in the early hours and is deploying the Victor 6000. Both robots are able to dive as deep as 6,000 metres.A U.S. coast guard spokesperson says they don't know whether sounds detected from deep beneath the Atlantic are from the missing OceanGate submersible but they do think the sounds are human-made.
