The U.S. Coast Guard provided an update Tuesday on the search and rescue operation for the submersible that disappeared on its way to the Titanic wreckage site in the North Atlantic. The sub had about 96 hours of oxygen at most onboard, and as of Tuesday afternoon would have about 40 hours of breathable air left, the U.S. Coast Guard said. Five people were on board the vessel when the crew of the Polar Prince — the ship that ferried the submersible and expedition members to the dive site — lost contact with them on Sunday.

At some point, they will have to call it a "search and recovery" mission.
Who thinks the sub imploded and this oxygen talk is meaningless😮
OK. Now who is going to finance this search and rescue mission? Any donations…
Perfect! Now we have a story to lead the nightly news while we bury the real news after the second commercial break.
This is a test of Man's technology vs Nature!! but my heart is with the family of every one onboard.🙏🙏
The ocean is larger and deeper and complex than most people realize.😢
😮😮
Am I the only one that is just realizing how close to the US the Titanic sank?
They are dead …or wish they were… Let us remember their bravery and the brave actions of the men at peril on the seas … The agents of rescue and their duty is commendable … Some US agencies are waiting for paperwork to clear so they can get there to late… Biden again
Maybe the next billionaire who wants to waste his money on a morbid expedition will think twice and donate it to food banks all across the world instead 🙃
Who pays for effort
Why aren’t they searching near the titanic??? Like a sub that big couldn’t have gone far
Like a balloon, only underwater… 🤔
Capitalism😂😂😂😂😂😂
Translation: Billionaires go sightseeing, go missing, and tie-up the public search and rescue resources of two countries at taxpayer expense. Let them be. RIP
TRAGIC MOMENT IN HISTORY WHEN SO MANY POOR PEOPLE DIED BECAUSE MOST OF THE RICH PEOPLE ON THAT SHIP HOGGED THE LIFE BOATS AND NOW RICH PEOPLE WANT TO GO VISIT THEIR GRAVE . DON'T MESS WITH THE DEAD
I bet you train dolphins can find out where it is they are experts in echolocation the problem is can I find people that are 13000 feet beneath the surface
Thank you for your efforts to rescue those people on board the submersible!!!🙏🏻🤞🏻🙏🏻🤞🏻
The sub failed an crushed probably.
There is a reason why osha requires a backup plan to recover anybody involed in an accident. It seems they had none.
Prayers 🙏🙏🙏
Sorry, but I could just look at unmanned submersible footage of shipwrecks without actually going down there myself, and be satisfied. I wouldn't be risking my life, or the lives of rescuers. It is just STUPID to go that far down with the infant technology and safety back ups available today. I hope they are found alive and it is a lesson to others, but I know it won't be-humans are just stubbornly stupid.
No rescue Equipment mobilization, no plan for recovery, until discovery. Experts
The Titanic is at 12,500ft. The maximum depth for the Titan Submersible is 13,123ft. Not much of a margin. I would think the submersible imploded. If they ran into trouble they would have dropped ballast and floated to the surface.
Aint trump lucky
Is all this coverage based on a passenger who was a billionaire?
Update is they are dead and unretrievable.
Prayers that these people be safe and found soon. 🙏
Let's see if we can override this disaster.
I imagine the crew members of the submarine crying in fear, knowing that they are going to suffocate to death smelling the feces and urine of others, knowing that their oxygen is running out and that they are 3,000 meters deep in total darkness. , trying to illuminate the interior of the submarine with the flashlights of their cell phones that little by little discharge, hungry, thirsty … they must be terrified thinking about how they were so idiots to get inside that can of tuna handled with a playstation control …
Why is there website down now? Pretty ironic
If that wee submersible had average people and not wealthy clients, we all know the search would have been called off by now.
