"Missing Titanic sub live updates: Ex-Navy Seal Crenshaw blasts emergency search as ‘epic failure of leadership’"
"Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-Texas), a former Navy Seal, blasted the emergency response to the missing OceanGate submersible as an “epic failure of leadership,” after its crew was presumed dead from an implosion on Thursday.
“I have been hearing a lot of concerning things from people,” Crenshaw told reporters from the steps of the Capitol, Fox News reported. “What appears to be the case is epic failure in leadership. Where exactly that leadership failure is, I don’t know. Is it the White House, Coast Guard, Navy? I’m not sure.”
What a douche nozzle. What precisely would he have the Navy or Coast Guard do?
There was a maritime vehicle in distress,Coast Guard deployed, Navy probably passed along info of a POSSIBLE implosion, and assets from Canada, France and the private sector did their damnedest to attempt a rescue until it was proven the submersible had been destroyed. That's all that can be asked of them. Administration, as fubar as it is, stayed out of the fray and let the Coasties handle the show. Even in tragedy there are lessons to be learned, even if the biggest ones are cautionary tales for other would be explorers. What is the point of some congressman wading into the mess? What precisely would he do differently?
