The U.S. Coast Guard is leading the search for an Everett-based submersible that was set to take adventure tourists to the wreck of the Titanic.
The vessel, Titan, lost contact with the surface Sunday approximately 900 miles off the coast of Cape Cod and there is only a limited amount of time before the crew of five runs out of air.
“Right now all of our efforts are focused on finding the sub,” said Coast Guard Capitan Jamie Frederick.
Frederick describes a unified search effort that includes military aircraft, remote underwater vehicles and commercial vessels – all after a missing crew that was trying to get a glimpse of the Titanic more than 12,000 feet below the surface of the ocean.
On Tuesday evening the search utilized the capabilities of a massive commercial pipe-laying vessel – equipped with a remotely operated vehicle, essentially an underwater drone, to search for any glimpse of a missing submersible and its crew of five.

🙏🙏🙏🙏
I believe they have about 22 more hours of oxygen left
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
How could they settle against safety?? Pray for these people..
First billionaire to ever volunteer himself to be in a time capsule
The noise they are hearing every 30 minutes is Titan hitting against the inside walls of Titanic. Because it is out of function now.😢
The weather started getting rough 😮
Prayers going up
Two of the passengers on the submarine were from Pakistan – Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son, Suleman. Knowing they wouldn’t have any meals for the next 24 hours, they probably each had a large curry before departure. Imagine the scene now – stranded on the ocean floor – no lights – pitch black – the only small chemical toilet used for faeces and urine full to overflowing – indescribable stench – running short of oxygen – no hope of rescue! Hard to imagine a worse fate! After, their bodies will undergo the process of liquifaction…many of the organisms are anaerobic, so they’ll thrive! They’ll all mix together to form a soup…gently sloshing around as the undercurrents rock the boat. Wouldn’t like to open the hatch on that one!
Safety compromise. It spend 10 hours approx in deep sea. It should have 30 days Backup plan atleast. Oxygen generator, back-up batteries. Alternate seprate sources of power supplies. A tiny rescue tube to pop up surface if everything fails after 30 days. Thing is submarine cost. Technology R&D need billion dollars. Until now Ocean Gate took 30+ trips. They million dollars in each trip. Almost half billions they already earn from this death chamber.
To get and experience peace at once of noisy busy human space
What if there was one extra game controller brought down a few hours near the titanic that could order the sub what to do?
Wait, so they fired an employee that pointed out dangerous conditions? Then when he sued they settled? Can we talk to the guy they fired???
