We are closing this liveblog and switching to a new liveblog here. Thank you for following.
The President of the Explorers Club, Richard Garriott de Cayeux, has thanked the the public for “all your support and hard work” on the effort to find and save the Titan submersible.
In a statement on social media, Garriot de Cayeux said he believed the efforts so far have “have importantly improved the odds of a positive outcome” to the situation, although he remained critical of authorities for not acting fast enough.
He said the arrival of the Magellan and the use of side-scan sonar will help improve the odds of finding the submersible.
We continue to come together for our friends, their families and the ideals of The Explorers Club, and the cause of safe scientific exploration of extreme environments.
There is good cause for hope, and we are making it more hopeful.
I thank you! Keep searching!
