I can't believe they didn't except our help.. I thought our rescue subs could be anywhere in the world in 24 hrs. Do you think they let these guys die to hide something?

they had something on dateline last night where a pod-like thing was lowered down and attached with suction to the hatch. Then the crew climbed in and it was raised to the surface. This particular unit was used about 50 years ago successfully in a rescue attempt. But since the sub is leaning on its side the maneuvering is difficult since the rescue vehicle has no steering mechanism, it just relys on gravity really. The most interesting thing about this story was an interview with a rescued crewmember from 50 years ago and he said they continued hitting the hull with morse code until they were finally rescued. In the current situation they haven't heard anything from this sub since the first hour it went down. Sorry if my terminology is not correct
