Rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean raced against time early Tuesday to find a missing submersible carrying five people on a mission to document the wreckage of the Titanic.

The carbon-fiber submersible named the Titan, part of a mission by OceanGate Expeditions, carried a pilot, a renowned British adventurer, two members of an iconic Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert. Authorities reported the vessel overdue Sunday night about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John’s, Newfoundland, according to Canada’s Joint Rescue Coordination Center.

Every passing minute, however, puts the Titan’s crew at greater risk. The submersible had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it put to sea at roughly 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate.

  1. Can you imagine that nun of this would be happening if people wouldn’t proceed to do dumb shit anyways right after hearing the risk that could potentially happen 😐😐😐

  2. Many companies use lots of money to support the space travel , but they don’t spend anything to develop machines to discover their oceans, that’s a shame we know about mars more than we know about our oceans.

  3. My condolences to the friends and family of the crew of the missing sub.

    I’m confused as to why the efforts to assist in the rescue did not take place during the first eight hours rather than the last (24-36 hours)?

    Why so late?
