Crenshaw explains that he has heard from civilians involved in the incident, and there was no plan in place to use all available options to locate and recover the Titan. Even after the Navy had heard what they thought was the implosion, they continued to operate under the assumption that it was a rescue operation and did not use the Magellan for rescue operations. Crenshaw’s criticism of the Biden administration’s decision-making process on other issues is also noteworthy.

There is still no progress on this. Our government is failing massively. All Coast Guard has to do is LET MAGELLAN SAVE THESE PEOPLE and help them get their equipment there.

The liberal media criticized Rep. Crenshaw for blaming the lost submersible on the “epic failure of leadership” during his media appearances. However, his concerns and questions are valid, given that the Biden administration does not seem concerned about the loss of resources involved in potentially rescue operation.
It is imperative to prioritize the safety of American citizens, including those involved in risky endeavors such as the OceanGate Titan submersible experience. The Biden administration should consider implementing better leadership strategies to prevent such tragic incidents from happening again and recover the lost submersible.
