He's the one who chooses to cover this.
He has 9k people watching.
So...
I think it's clear why he does this.
Maybe I misunderstood him and they're not actually sending a rover... I'm not really paying attention TBH, I just have this open in the background.
Ah yeah...
So they're sending a French ROV "Victor 6000" capable of reaching the Titanic wreck depth and it apparently could help free the sub if it's trapped.
It has robotic arms and the ability to hook the sub to a cable attached to a ship... it can't tow. So the whole towing thing was my misunderstanding.
To me, that suggests they have reason to believe the sub is stuck at the bottom.
They will discover whether or not the sub is at the bottom with this thing, no doubt.
If they do find it and their attempts to bring it up with the French ROV are unsuccessful, it's pretty obvious that they will bring in whatever equipment is necessary to recover it to the surface if indeed it is down there.
The whole story got too big for them to have any other option at this point.

P.H. Nargeolet, a veteran Nautile submersible pilot and Titanic diver, originally picked up a blip on echo sounding equipment in 1996, but its origins remained unknown. ... [In 2022] he found a rocky reef, made up of various volcanic formations, thriving with lobsters, deep-sea fish, sponges and several species of coral that could be thousands of years old. ... Since the recent discovery near the Titanic, it is now believed such features might be more common than previously thought. ... OceanGate will continue its longitudinal research work of the Titanic and surrounding areas in 2023.

5:14 the man is right.
They never should have given anyone the rights to go down there and bring up "artefacts" like jewelry, shoes, dishes, parts of the ship...
It's akin to grave robbery and that's the bottom line.
