Missing Titanic submersible: The health risks facing the crewIt is a claustrophobic, terrifying prospect – being trapped in a 22ft submersible, potentially thousands of feet underwater, with oxygen running out.The exact whereabouts of the Titanic submersible and the condition of the five crew onboard are unknown. It is thought the vessel may have less than 10 hours of oxygen remaining, creating a race against time to find the sub before it is too late.As Dr Ken Ledez, a hyperbaric medicine expert at Memorial University in St John’s, Newfoundland, has told BBC News that running out of air is not the only danger those on board face.The vessel may have lost electrical power, which is likely to have a role in controlling the amount of oxygen and carbon dioxide inside the vessel.As the oxygen level falls, the proportion of carbon dioxide being breathed out by the crew will be rising, with potentially fatal consequences.”As levels of carbon dioxide build up, then it becomes sedative, it becomes like an anaesthetic gas, and you will go to sleep.”Too much of the gas in a person’s bloodstream, known as hypercapnia, can kill them if not treated.Former Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey says he looked at videos online of the inside of Titan and could not see a carbon dioxide removal system, known as scrubbers.”That for me is the greatest problem of all of them,” he says.At the same time, the crew are at risk from hypothermia, where the body gets too cold.According to Capt Ramsey, if the sub is on the seabed, the water temperature will be about 0C. If it has also lost electricity, it will not be generating any power and therefore cannot generate heat.Hypothermia, the lack of oxygen and the build-up of carbon dioxide within the sub mean the crew’s ability to make contact with the search and rescue mission, such as by banging on the hull at regular intervals to try and attract attention, will dwindle.”If they’re unconscious, they’re not going to be able to do much to help themselves,” says Dr Ledez.Titan submersible from OceanGateWhile the Coast Guard has warned there is probably little oxygen left, the crew may be able to conserve their supplies – at least for a while.Mr Ramsey says slowing their breathing would also help but admits this could be difficult considering the stress they would be under.Dr Ledez says they could also spread out carbon dioxide-absorbing granules or reduce their power use if they still have electricity.In terms of food and water, the Coast Guard said the crew had some “limited rations” on board but couldn’t say how much.Despite all these challenges, Dr Ledez urges against cancelling the search-and-rescue operation too soon, saying they might be able to survive even when oxygen levels are very low.”If anybody can survive in it, you know, it’s these individuals,” says Dr Ledez. “It just depends on them having power and depends on them having light to be able to find things and make these controls, but absolutely, they could still be alive.”© BBC

THE SOCIAL MEDIA STORY THAT MATAWALLE HAS BEEN DECLARED WANTED IS FAKE AND MALICIOUS: Our attention has been drawn to mischievous social media stories that were cooked in an article published by Nigerian Tribune online on 18th June 2023, falsely claiming that the EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) has declared His Excellency Bello Matawalle wanted. It is important to clarify that this information is entirely baseless and a product of misinformation that has no traceable source.The EFCC as a reputable law enforcement Agency follows due process in its operations and does not engage in such haphazard or arbitrary declarations of individuals as wanted without concrete evidence and legal procedures. It is essential for media outlets to verify the accuracy of their reports before publishing them, particularly when the reports involve sensitive matters such as legal actions against public figures.Hon. (Dr.) Bello Matawalle has been around in the country and has not been declared wanted by any credible authority. This false information not only tarnishes the reputation of Matawalle but also undermines the credibility of the medium responsible for publishing the false story and journalism as a profession.It should be noted that the EFCC itself has responded to that false publication in its press release clarifying that, “the report is incorrect as the Commission has yet to declare Matawalle wanted or solicit the assistance of any Agency, including the DSS, to effect his arrest”.We, therefore, urge the media to uphold the highest standards of accuracy, fairness, and impartiality when reporting their news items to avoid misleading the public. Similarly, misinformation can have serious consequences and can significantly impact the lives of those involved.We demand an immediate retraction of that falsehood and an apology from the Editorial Board of the Nigerian Tribune. If this demand is not met within three (3) working days, we shall seek legal redress on the aforementioned libelous matter.Signed:Lawal Umar Maradun, FNIPR, ARPAPPS and Media Aide to HE Bello Mohammed Matawalle, MON, FSESN, FNATE
