One Of Explorers On Board the Polar Prince ship Of Vanished Submarine Makes Contact, Says Im OK

Rory Golden, an Irish explorer on board the Polar Prince ship, which launched the submersible that had vanished in the Atlantic, has made contact, saying that he is alright.

"I'm OK. We are all focussed on board here for our friends. Please do not ask for their Names, as this is most insensitive. Please do not speculate. I have seen some comments already on social media that are highly inappropriate and insensitive," Golden said on social media, adding that the crew's "online and internet options are being restricted in order to keep bandwidth available for the co-ordinated effort that is taking place."
