Mester is a Puyallup resident and manages聽, a marine salvage and surveying company.

He says the outcome for Titan only has a few possibilities.

鈥淭he pilot could鈥檝e had a physical health issue, heart attack, or stroke,鈥� Mester said.

Or he says it could鈥檝e been an electrical or communication problem, since the submersible lost contact 1 hour and 45 minutes into its voyage.

Mester says in either case, the others on board should be able to hit a weight release and resurface the sub. CBS science correspondent聽聽last year and reports the sub has seven different ways to rise to the surface, including multiple redundant ballast and air bladder systems.

But so far, it appears none of those were used. The U.S. Coast Guard, Canadian first responders, and private companies have searched more than 10,000 square miles of water and have not located Titan on the surface.

鈥漈he only other option is a catastrophic failure of the submarine. Which means the hull somehow breached,鈥� Mester said. 鈥淚f that were to happen, it would be instantaneous 鈥� no chance for any survival by anybody.鈥�

Mester says even with sending equipment to the bottom of the ocean, finding the small sub will still be difficult.

鈥淭o go into this debris field for the Titanic, with its massive amount of debris, and find a target where the mass is so much smaller than the rest of the items on the bottom is going to be a real puzzle,鈥� he said.

Last year CEO Stockton Rush emphasized Titan鈥檚 safety to CBS Sunday Morning.

鈥淓verything else can fail. Your thrusters can go. Your lights can go. You鈥檙e still going to be safe,鈥� Rush said.

鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of ironic. They鈥檙e going down to a vessel that was touted to be unsinkable on a maiden voyage. You never forget that this is a very hostile environment, it鈥檚 dangerous, it鈥檚 a new frontier,鈥� Mester said.

The air on board the sub is expected to last until Thursday morning. But Mester says time may have already run out.

鈥淗ow hopeful are you that the people on board will be found alive?鈥� 成人X站 7鈥瞫 Deedee Sun asked. 鈥淚 have no hope at this point and time,鈥� Mester said after a long pause. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a tragic loss.鈥�

The structure of Titan has also come under scrutiny, with a clip from last year鈥檚 CBS Sunday Morning feature about the vessel now going viral. It鈥檚 received almost 20 million views as of Tuesday evening. At the time, Rogue questioned the safety of the vessel, and read aloud the disclaimer he had to sign for the voyage.

Y鈥檃ll please watch this. It鈥檚 a CBS story that aired a while back about that submarine that is now missing. The creators of that missing submarine are DEEPLY unserious.

鈥淎n experimental submersible vessel that has not been approved or certified by any regulatory body, and could result in physical injury, disability, emotional trauma, or death,鈥� Rogue read aloud.

The piece also showed a game controller that was being used to navigate the vessel.

鈥淚 couldn鈥檛 help noticing how many pieces of this sub seemed improvised,鈥� Rogue said in his report.

鈥淲e run this whole thing with this game controller,鈥� Rush said.

But Rush stressed that critical safety elements were 鈥渂uttoned down鈥� 鈥� like the pressure vessel, which he said OceanGate worked on with Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington.

The USCG says it will have its next briefing Wednesday morning unless there are major developments beforehand.
