Скачать или смотреть Expert's view on search-and-rescue operation

Many questions still remain about the delay in the search-and-rescue efforts and the captain and crew's actions following the ship's capsize.
In trying to better understand the incident, we have Captain John NOBLE, Director of UK-based Constellation Marine Services on the phone.
Captain, thank-you for connecting with us.

Thanks for having me.

Rescue divers attempted to enter the ferry earlier today, but to no avail. The delay has left families of the missing frustrated and restless. From your own experience, how do you assess the level of the ongoing efforts?

The vessel is now submerged under water. How viable is it, at this point, to increase the chance of finding survivors by pumping air into the sunken ship?

Korea's Coast Guard earlier said the sunken vessel, now presumably weighing some 100-thousand tons with sea water, is slowly pushing down into the seabed. Other than attaching air bags to it, what other ways are there, to bring the ferry back to surface?

Authorities earlier confirmed the ferry's young third mate, and not the captain, was steering the vessel when it encountered trouble,... which is a violation of regulations. Should this be seen as just an act of negligence or could there be a reasonable explanation for this?

Alright Captain, thank-you for sharing your insights with us tonight.
