 Behind me, or beside me, I should say, you'll see several subject matter experts from the Unified Command who introduce themselves momentarily. These individuals represent only a small fraction of the many dedicated professionals working around the clock on this complex response effort. We understand this is an extremely difficult time for the families of the missing crew members of our battalion. And our thoughts go out to them and the crew. The Unified Command team is working tirelessly to bring all available assets and expertise to bear as quickly as possible in response to this complex operation. We remain in close contact with the family members and the crew to ensure they are fully aware of our current and future search efforts. Additionally, we have been in close contact with the British and French consulates general to ensure that they are fully appraised in our efforts and we are ensuring that their concerns are being addressed. We're incredibly grateful for the full spectrum of international assistance that has been provided, including an ex-quirk, Submariner from the Royal Navy, here with us serving aboard as a critical member of our team. Additionally, a team of highly trained French ROV operators departed St. John's last night or in route to aid the search. Moreover, our Canadian partners have been providing critical leadership and significant response capabilities since the beginning of our efforts. Again, this is an incredibly complex search operation requiring both surface and subsurface elements. Our unified approach is critical. The location of the search, 900 miles of east to Cape Cod, 400 miles southeast of St. John's makes it exceptionally difficult to mobilize large amounts of equipment quickly. In spite of those challenges, we've been able to provide continuous air and surface search assets, as well as additional ROV capability searched below the surface. We currently have five surface assets searching for the Titan. We expect 10 total surface assets to search in the next 24 to 48 hours. There are two ROVs actively searching and several more are in route and will arrive by tomorrow morning. We've received incredible support with aviation assets from our Coast Guard Air Station in Elizabeth City, the Air National Guard and Canadian Armed Forces. Today, there are two back-to-back P3 flights. One is ongoing now, as I speak, totaling 14 hours of continuous on-scene coverage and two C-130 flights, also one ongoing now, throughout the day and into the evening. Yesterday, the Canadian P3 detected underwater noises in the search area. As a result, ROV operations were relocated in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises. Although the ROV searches have yielded negative results, they continue. Additionally, the data from the P3 aircraft has been shared with our US Navy experts for further analysis, which will be considered in future search plans. The surface search is now approximately two times the size of Connecticut and the subsurface search is up to two and a half miles deep, exponentially expanding the size of the search area. We also have to factor in the ever-changing weather conditions, currents, and sea states that expand the search area every hour. There's an enormous complexity associated with this case due to the location being so offshore, so far offshore, and the coordination between multiple agencies and nations. We greatly appreciate the outpouring of support and offers to provide additional equipment. The unified command continues to prioritize assets and resources in order to provide the best capability in the most timely manner. This includes weighing multiple factors to identify the most effective resources available to the response operation. With careful consideration to the timeliness of equipment arriving on scene, usefulness, and ability to deliver assets to the search area. Over the past 48 hours, we have, through incredible unity of effort, mobilized and implemented a tremendous amount of expertise and response capability. In addition to the ships and aircraft previously mentioned, we've dispatched two subject matter experts from U.S. Navy, NAVSEE, SubSouth, who will serve as search coordinators on scene for underwater search operations. So I've been stressing unity of effort a lot in this statement, and that's because it is absolutely critical to this complex operation. Again, our thoughts and prayers are with the crew of the Titan and their loved ones. We will continue to work as hard and as quickly as possible in an effort to locate them. I will take a few questions, but before I do that, I do want to, I'm gonna have each of the members, the team here, just introduce themselves, and I'll go ahead and take some questions. Good afternoon, I'm Paul Hankins. I'm the director for salvage operations with the U.S. Navy Supervisor of South Baltimore. Hello, I'm Carl Harzbill from the Woods Hull Oceanographic Institute. Good afternoon, I'm Lieutenant Commander Rich Cattoria. I'm an exchange officer, currently serving on the stuff. Come on, let's embrace your thoughts. Christy Butler, working closely with Captain Frederick from RCC Boston, Surgeon Rescue, Mr. Coordinator, thank you. Captain, what can you tell us about the noises that were heard, can you give us any more detail, and just to follow up from what you've gathered so far, based on those noises, should that give the families and the others who care for these people, should that give them some reason to hope? So, a couple things, one, I think when you're in the middle of a Surgeon Rescue case, you always have hope, that's why we're doing what we do. With respect to the noises specifically, we don't know what they are, to be frank with you. The P3 detected noises, that's why they're up there, that's why they're doing what they're doing, that's why they put so on our booze in the water. The good news is, what I can tell you is we're searching in the area where the noises were detected, and we'll continue to do so, and we hope that when we're able to get additional ROVs to be there in the morning, the intent will be to continue to search in those areas where the noise were detected, and if they're continuing to be detected, and then put additional ROVs down in the last known position where the Surgeons are originally taking place. The noise is still being detected, Captain. Regular 30 minutes intervals are reported. I hadn't heard 30 minute intervals, so here's what I can tell you. So, I am not a friend here for underwater aquatics. That's why we have a team of experts that are analyzing that data. That data was sent immediately to the Navy last night, and it was analyzed overnight, they're still looking at it, but I can tell you that it's inconclusive. But again, I think the important piece is we're searching in the area where the noise were detected. Captain, you're talking about the timeline. Can you talk about what timeline you're working on in conjunction with the teams that are there? It's a timeline of what we're spending. How much oxygen did they have left on the board? Oh, okay, so. In terms of, so we talked about the oxygen number. I think you're all tracking the oxygen number. I think there's an important point with that, though. The oxygen, that's just one piece of data, right? There are a lot of data that we need to consider. And we'll continuously looking at that, and we'll continuously do that throughout the search. But that's not the only thing that's important, right? Right now, our efforts are solely focused on the search. That certainly is a dialogue that's happening, but we're focused on searching. And this is a search or rescue, or a rescue? Oh, this is a search or rescue, it's 100%. We are smack dab in the middle of search and rescue, and we'll continue to put every available asset that we have in an effort to define the type that we're looking for. Can I ask one more question on ROVs, and can you confirm that some sort of rectangular object has been spotted? There was some sort of report about that, I don't know. So, well, a couple of things. So, the ROVs, each ROV brings different capability. The ROVs that are diving today, but what's the depth of it? Yeah, 4,000 meters in the, some additional ROVs that'll be arriving tomorrow have additional depth capability. With respect to an object, so yesterday one of the aircraft did see an object, I would tell you this, in search and rescue missions, when aircraft are flying continuously, there is stuff out of the ocean that's floating. We went back, we looked at it, it wasn't, we didn't determine it to be debris, we don't think it correlates with the case, and it is not uncommon at all during an active search to see things and then we go and look at them. Sir, I'm just talking to BBC News. When was the, when were these noises first heard? How long did they exist for? And if I could also ask, do you have any information in terms of food and water that the men might have on board this summer? Yeah, so, so several P3 flights have heard noises as yesterday, we put assets there, we relocated assets immediately. With respect to food and water, is my understanding there are some limited rations? I can't tell you exactly how much they have aboard, but they do have some limited rations aboard. Sir, speaking to the families, how much help can you give to the party hearing those noises? Listen, I think you need to be careful, we need to have hope, right? But I don't, I can't tell you what the noises are, but what I can tell you is, and I think this is the most important point, we're searching where the noises are, and that's all we can do with this. Was that your best clue right now about the status of this submersible of those noises? And are the noises continuing now if they stop or if they continue? So I just wanted to, so it was my understanding that the P3 had heard some noises today as well. So I do want to take just an opportunity to invite Carl to the podium, just to talk a little bit about, he has a little bit more expertise in underwater acoustics, maybe just to speak to that in general, because again, there are noises below the surface of the ocean. Obviously human sounds, nature sounds, and it's very difficult to discern what the source of those noises are at times, but I can't tell you that this team has multiple sensors, they're in the area, they're sending data back expeditiously to the best in the world, people, to analyze that data, and then they're feeding the results of that analyst back to the unified team, and they're making decisions. So Woods Hole is here in an advisory role, but by our expertise, what I see is a very tight operational loop that's making decisions based on data, and nothing is ruled out. Are the noises continuing? As deeply said, you heard the noises this morning, are they still continuing on a regular basis now? There have been multiple reports of noises, and every one of those noises is being analyzed, tracked, looked for patterns, and reported. Can you describe what the noise sounds like that they're hearing? Well, you know, the noises, again, very complex in the ocean. You have to be an acoustic analysis, and you have to have context. They're trying to put all the pieces together. The noises have been described as banging noises. But again, they have to put the whole picture together in context, and they have to eliminate potential man-made sources other than the type. Is it possible that the ship in the ocean, is it possible a ship in the ocean, or even some mammals out there, would mimic that kind of sound? So I can tell you from my experience with acoustics, that there are sounds by biologics that sound man-made to the untrained ear, but I can assure you that the people listening to these tapes are trained. There are a lot of vessels in the area, and they each make noise, right? So all of that has to be eliminated, and it's analysis over time. Plus, as the captain said, the team is searching in the right area. So if you continue to analysis, do the analysis, look for different patterns, and search in the right area, you're doing the best you possibly can do with the best people on the case. Exactly, exactly. I think it was a deep, deep ocean sound system that byway that was sent there to location. Tell us if it's on site yet, and how it operates, and how long it would take for us to get that take. Which, uh... The flyaway? What's the system that you're talking about? It's called the flyaway deep ocean sound system. That's just the hydrology, so... Yeah, so that's right. That's a piece of equipment, it's a crane piece of equipment. There are a lot of pieces of equipment flowing in through St. John's right now. One thing I did want to mention, I think it's important, some of the ROV capability that's arriving soon is really great, incredible capability. One thing I want to point out is that French team that's coming in to serve aboard, with their equipment aboard a French ship, they bring some state-of-the-art equipment, and so once they get on, we're going to have more assets down to look, and we'll continue to equip them where we think the best location is. I'm just wondering how many days does it take? Are you still optimistic that you're going to find the role? So, how many days? Do you guys have how many days? I'm just wondering how many days does it take? Well, so... We have to remain optimistic and hopeful when you're in a search and rescue case. So, we're right in the middle of the search and rescue case, so I don't want to get into a discussion about when that would end with respect to this case. What I will tell you, though, I'm happy to explain to you kind of how that process were to work. You know, the Coast Guard prosecute search and rescue cases on a daily basis, and sometimes we don't find what we're looking for, and you have to carefully consider all of the factors, and there are a lot of factors you consider, and then after you consider all of those factors, sometimes you're in a position where you have to make a tough decision. We're not there yet. But if we continue to search, potentially we could be at that point. But again, we're not there yet, and that's a discussion that we will have with the family long before I'm going to discuss that here at Public Point. Yeah, so I can't put a number on the light. You know, I'm not going to put a... I don't have a percentage number. What I'll tell you is that that is just one data point, and there are more data points than that that we have to focus on. Right now we continue to search. Captain, if I could, who heard the noises, and how often did they hear the noises? Can you just give us any more specifics? Did they hear them this morning? Were they at 30-minute intervals? Just give us some more specifics about the noises. So the report... I'm here just to find the noise. The noises were heard by a Canadian P3, and that was this morning and some yesterday. I don't know specifically, or they're at 30-minute intervals, but again, I really think the important point to that is we're in the air, we're searching there. We moved assets and we're searching there, and we'll continue to do so. Could you just... Captain, let's bang! Let's look back at it. I don't know if you mentioned this yet, but is the vessel itself... What's the likelihood that it's actually still operable at this hour? The vessel itself? Yeah, I don't... Whether it's operable or whether it's sitting on the ocean floor, whether it's in the sea column, whether it's in the surface, it's all speculation. We're just not in the business of speculation. We're in the business of searching. We're putting everything we can with the data we have to search for the vessel. Does the bank... So we asked for some additional sub-surface support, and we got that through the Navy, through a liaison officer. He was just one of many team members, and we're greatly appreciative of the British government and all the support they give us. Captain, are we expecting a daily update now on this? I think the plan will be to do a daily like this. I'm not going to lock into that right now, but we'll keep you informed, and certainly if there's any major developments, let's know. Thank you.
