The Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution's research ship Atlantis is launching a second expedition to help search for an Argentinian submarine that’s been missing since mid-November. The ARA San Juan left the southern tip of Argentina and was headed north along the coast when the crew reported a battery short circuit and then lost all contact. Argentine officials now say they think an explosion killed all forty four crew members. Russian and American ships are among those working to find and recover the wreckage. We talk to Rob Munier, Vice President for Marine Facilities and Operations at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
