We will be joined by Neil Greenberg, Washington Post Sports columnist, he's coming up at 7.45.

0:29.0

But we have to get into the story about the missing sub that was trying to explore the wreckage of the Titanic at 12,500 feet below sea level.

0:44.0

It wasn't necessarily like trying. I mean, obviously it looks like it may have tried it failed here, but I mean, I think this was kind of like a regular thing, right? If you're rich, you could pay for the right to go down there and view the right.

0:56.0

I believe it was $250,000 per passenger to go on this expedition.

1:03.0

I think I think I generally will try almost anything, but submarines freak me out for some reason.

1:14.0

I'm not really claustrophobic, but I believe a submarine, like a legit submarine expedition, where you're going under the water for two hours, I don't think I could do it.

1:27.0

All the exposure that we've had to submarines is usually through movies and submarines are usually like they're getting blown up.

1:34.0

Sure. Or they're getting chased by another submarine, or they're about to launch nukes out of submarine. Like there's never anything good happening on a sub.

1:43.0

We just have no options under what like, you know, I know some of you guys don't like cruises and things like that. Yeah, but they're options on a cruise outside.

1:55.0

You can stay in your room. Sure. There are no options on a submarine. No. And apparently this. It's a huge life risk when you do that.

2:02.0

It's so small. It's so small and cramped for the five people on board. Yeah. And I mean, this this headline from the Daily Mail,

2:11.0

shockingly, is not a positive one crew on missing Titanic sub face risk of hypothermia is air runs out expert warns as final photos of the vessel setting out with British billionaire UK based businessman and his teenage son on board are revealed.

2:27.0

Like there's a 19 year old kid that's trapped on the sub. I mean, it's just a freaking store. I would just have diarrhea.

2:33.0

Can you imagine how, you know, nervous and scared some of those people were to start the trip?

2:39.0

And then their nightmare. We're going to go down 13,000 feet. Right.

2:43.0

Man, I hope nothing goes wrong. Can you imagine that? No. And they NATO can't even get down there. It's too deep. They just don't have. They don't have the technology.

2:53.0

So what is the plan? Like what are they saying? The plan is they don't have other little subs that can go that I have heard that they're too far down to rescue.

3:05.0

A remote operated vehicle that can plunge to depths of 20,000 feet has also been added to the search and rescue efforts.

3:14.0

But what good is that going to do if you just get some remote operated thing and it goes, yeah, I see it.

3:20.0

How does it attack itself? How do you rescue it? How do you bring it to the surface? I don't have like robot arms or something.

3:26.0

Is one of the theories that it could be like maybe stuck? Maybe it was floating around and it got kind of stuck in the wreckage.

3:33.0

That's a possibility, I guess. Well, it lost contact after a mile going down. So they never even got there. Don't think so.
