Titanic Tourist Submarine Missing
The famous luxury ocean liner split in two and sank on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City on April 15, 1912, killing all but 700 of the 2,200 passengers and crew on board, and struck an iceberg. The US and Canadian Coast Guards are currently taking part in an attempted rescue mission to recover the vessel, carrying paying tourists and scientists 12,500 feet into the Atlantic.
British millionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, famous French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and the latter's son, Sulaiman Dawood, are all believed to have been aboard the missing OceanGate vessel.
The Titan is a tiny 22-foot-long cylinder with an aerospace-grade carbon fiber hull and titanium hemispheres on either end. It has a large viewport glass and 4K cameras to transmit the aquatic world outside to people within, but it is otherwise quite essential.
Amazingly, the craft is navigated by a generic video game controller, in this case, a 2011 Logitech F710 Wireless PC Gamepad, and it texts a tracking team aboard a surface ship, in this case, the Canadian icebreaker Polar Prince, to stay in touch.
Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, was one of the five Titan passengers that went missing on Tuesday afternoon.
Rescue Operation Update
According to experts, the prospects of finding anybody alive are decreasing as the hunt for the Titan enters its third day. The rescue effort is hampered by low oxygen levels, severe cold, and the Titanic's darkness, which prevents a visual search of the disaster.
After the Titan's anticipated oxygen supplies run out, five more rescue vessels will arrive within 24 to 48 hours. Five other ships have previously combed a 10,000-square-meter region for evidence of the OceanGate Expeditions submersible.
The only vessel capable of reaching the Titanic wreck, which is 4,000 meters below the ocean's surface, is the French ship Atalante, which will only arrive at the search site on Wednesday night. As a result, there won't be much time for rescue operations.
The vessel's oxygen supply will run out at 7 am ET on Thursday since it has fewer than 12 hours left.
