• An interview has surfaced with one of the men aboard the Titan, in which he talks about being trapped underwater.

• Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a veteran of deep-sea exploration, spoke about the potential dangers of being trapped.

• He described a hypothetical scenario that he may now be experiencing in reality aboard Titan.

An interview has surfaced with one of the men aboard the lost Titan submersible describing what it would be like to be trapped at the bottom of the ocean.

The hypothetical scenario presented by Paul-Henry Nargeolet in the old clip chillingly resembles one of the possible fates of the Titan, which – with him on board – was still missing on Thursday.

Nargeolet, known as “Mr. Titanic”, is a veteran of the deep sea. He was part of the first expedition in 1987 to see Titanic on the seabed and has visited the site at least 35 times.

In the video, Nargeolet talks about the dangers of diving to the wreck in his own ship, the Nautile, in a clip that has now been posted to YouTube.

According to New Zealand broadcaster 1News, he spoke to the Titanic Channel in 2019.

AP also appears to have referenced the interview in its coverage, although it said the interview took place in 2017.

“If you’re stuck on the bottom with the Nautil, you can survive for a while because you can stay on the bottom for like four or five days — which wouldn’t help much,” he said.

Nargeolet also said that a submersible pilot had to be “very careful” near a shipwreck. “A wreck is a dangerous environment,” he said.

The search for Nargeolet and the other four passengers – including OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush – has been ongoing since Sunday when the Titan lost contact with the surface.

Experts have outlined several possible scenarios, as reported by Insider’s Sophia Ankel and Marianne Guenot.

These include a catastrophic vehicle implosion; the possibility that it has already appeared; and the situation Nargeolet described in the clip — that it could get stuck on the sea floor with no power.

The story goes on

In this case, staying warm is the biggest risk as the water outside is around 33 degrees, he said in the video clip, adding, “We know very well that we’re going to die sooner.” [that]with the temperature.”

The interception of popping noises from the water on Wednesday had renewed hope that the passengers were still alive. However, it was estimated that the ship had run out of oxygen around 7 a.m. ET Thursday, making the chance of a successful rescue increasingly remote.

Nargeolet described how he felt that a trapped passenger would die in the situation he was describing, telling his interviewee: “After a while you die from the cold, which is not a bad way to die because you fall asleep.” he said, adding, “You’re not suffering.”

Ukraine found flight instructors: Denmark and the Netherlands took matters into their own hands and decided to train Ukrainian soldiers to operate the F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft from the American manufacturer Lockheed Martin.

Almost a month after the United States agreed to the delivery of these fighter jets by its Western allies on the sidelines of the G7 summit in Japan on May 19, 2023, the NATO countries have in fact opted to make a certain amount available free of charge from their Fighter planes in Kiev. And this is both out of altruism and because for some of them (ie the Netherlands and Denmark, but also Norway, Belgium and Poland) it is time to abandon the old models and switch to the F-35 Lightning II.

According to Breaking Defense, the Netherlands has a well-structured program in place that aims, among other things, to convert Ukrainian air force pilots – who have particular experience with Soviet-type aircraft such as the MiG-29 – into fighter jets used by Ukraine and NATO countries . This includes some language improvement, with proficiency in English being essential to being able to fly an F-16 in optimal conditions.

Problem: Ukraine is one of the least gifted European countries when it comes to speaking the language of Shakespeare: it ranks 28th out of 32 nations according to a ranking published in 2018. According to a US Air Force analyst, the training could take anywhere from four to six months, mainly for language reasons… but not only.

Grab the tongue and find the buttons

As Popular Mechanics explains, the soldiers of the Ukrainian Air Force also have to relearn a whole grammar of piloting. Being used to a particular control arrangement over years or even decades, they have to acquire new habits and new reflexes, as western aircraft are designed very differently.

This long-term work is likely to be crucial, however, as Ukraine suffered significant air losses in the first 16 months of the war against Russia. Nineteen out of forty-three MiG-29s destroyed, a dozen fewer Su-27 fighters, out of twenty-six total: the toll is heavy.

The profile of the pilots is probably not in vain. Almost all of them are at least 30 years old and can only rely on their experience and not on their skills in electronics – since the majority have never completed any current training on this topic.

NATO’s deployment of F-16 aircraft coupled with a solid update of pilot skills should allow Ukraine to catch its breath and draw new blood against the Russian adversary, their drones and their cruise missiles. The start of training is scheduled for this summer of 2023, which in all likelihood will allow the Ukrainian Air Force to face the next winter of 2023-2024 with a replenished squadron and pilots perfectly skilled in handling the F-16.

For most of public opinion, her name is linked to the Third Secret of Fatima, messages entrusted to three Portuguese shepherd children by Our Lady in 2017. Now the decree on heroic virtues, promulgated today with the approval of Pope Francis, renders them venerable. brings Sister Lucia dos Santos back to her truest dimension: a Christian who has witnessed with her own life of faithfulness to the Gospel. Certainly a Christian who witnessed an extraordinary event like the apparition of the Virgin on May 13, 1917 in Cova da Iria (five more will follow, by October) when she was 10 years old while she was in the company of her two little ones Cousins: Jacinta and Francesco Marto (7 and 9 years old respectively).

Four other Servants of God are also venerated with Sister Lucia dos Santos, including two Italians: Don Antonio Pagani of the Order of Friars Minor, founder of the Society of the dismissed Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, and Anna Cantalupo of the Society of the Daughters of Mercy of San Vincenzo de’ Paoli. Also honored was the martyrdom of twenty victims of the Spanish Civil War in 1936: priests, seminarians, lay people and lay people being blessed.

The third secret was revealed in 2000

Much has been written and all is known about the apparitions of Fatima, as well as the three messages that the Virgin entrusted to the three Portuguese shepherd children. Particular attention was always paid to the third, written by Sister Lucia in a letter addressed to the Bishop of Leira in 1944, the contents of which could not have been disclosed before 1960, but which remained secret – by decision of the Bishop of Leira, popes who have been in contact since that date followed until 2000, when in Fatima, on the occasion of the beatification of Jacinta and Francesco Marto, the two visionaries who died when they were children, John Paul II decided to make this public and also to make a statement. Rite attended by Sister Lucy, then 93 years old, who also confirmed the interpretation of the third secret and recognized in history the attack that John Paul II suffered precisely on May 13, 1981 in St. Peter’s Square.

The desire for a normal religious life

But Lucia dos Santos, born in Aljustrel on March 28, 1907, was not only a visionary to whom Our Lady appeared. After the events of 1917, he remained in Fatima until 1921 (in the meantime Francesco had died in 1919 and Jacinta the following year) to enter the College of Vilar in Porto incognito with the Dorothea sisters. In 1925 she became a postulant of the same congregation and made her temporary vows on October 3, 1928 and her perpetual vows on October 3, 1934. Evidently the events of Fatima continued to haunt her religious life. In the period between 1935 and 1941, commissioned by the Bishop of Leira José Alves Correia da Silva, he wrote four documents entitled “Memoirs” in which he described the events of the apparitions that he witnessed and greeted in the company of Francisco and Jacinta. These texts also include the so-called “Third Secret”.

He met Paul VI. and John Paul II

In order to live her vocation more intensely, it was Sister Lucia herself (who had changed her name to Sister Lucia of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart) who, in 1948, chose the Carmelite Order and asked to join the Carmel of Coimbra. Here she spent her life. For the rest of his life he followed the monastic rhythms of prayer and work. Carmelo, which was the destination of several Church officials to meet Sister Lucia (including the then Patriarch of Venice Albino Luciani, later John Paul I). He also met Paul VI three times (1982, 1991 and 2000) in Fatima. (1967) and John Paul II together. “He heroically lived the virtue of the faith, both in the way he faced the ecclesiastical and civil procedures surrounding the apparitions and in attempting to do God’s will in all things and help others gain their trust to be strengthened in him”, says the website of the Dicastery of the Causes of Saints -. His long life was marked by heroic hope and a deep desire to “go to heaven.” He died on February 13, 2005, a few weeks before John Paul II, with whom he developed a special and intense relationship. Always under the gaze of the Madonna, to whom both were devoted.
