Mauger added that it’s unclear when the vessel imploded. “Right now its too early to tell,” he said.
When asked whether he thinks there should be changes in safety regulations or inspections surrounding submersibles, Mauger replied, “Those questions about the regulations that apply and the standards, that’s going to be, I’m sure, a focus of future review.”
