I have a lot of respect for those involved in the rescue efforts. While there is still time, there is still hope, but we are probably at the lottery winning level of luck required now to get a good result.
The thing about oxygen running out is that it is not like an on/off switch. The level of oxygen will go down, people will become unconscious before finally dying and at that point their metabolic rate tends toward zero. Some of the crew may die, but that then allows the remainder to last a bit longer in an unconscious state. So although there is a cut off point this morning, from a life preserving aspect, it could potentially go on for a lot longer, at least for some of the crew
