The search continues for missing Titanic tourist submersible.
In Boston, the coasguard give an update on the search.
Rescuers in a remote area of the Atlantic Ocean are in a race against time to find a tourist submersible that went missing during a dive to the wreck of the Titanic.
The vessel – named the Titan – lost contact with the surface around an hour and forty-five minutes into the expedition on Sunday. The US coast guard estimates the sub had up to four days of emergency oxygen.
Meanwhile, more details are emerging about the five people on board.
They include Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son Suleman, along with 58-year-old British adventurer Hamish Harding – here on the left – and a French deep sea explorer named Paul-Henri Nargeolet. Stockton Rush – the boss of OceanGate, which runs the trips – is also thought to be on the vessel.
OceanGate have been carrying out expeditions to the Titanic since 2021 – with passengers paying nearly 200,000 pounds for a place.
The ship – which sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg on its maiden voyage – has been the subject of intense interest since its wreck was discovered in 1985.

Oh god
Who’s paying for the rescue effort? Better not be the American taxpayer.
It's over now. They're 100 percent surely dead.
I think Flash Gordon made a cameo appearance at the beginning! Hopefully they find those people almost 2 1/2 miles under water!
Untold money being spent looking for these tossers….with zero chance of success…multiple countries ,from UK to France and Canada have sent emissaries…to find 4 morons…meanwhile several hundred refugees drowned off the coast of Greece by the Greek coastguard….no one has bothered to look even one day…
Btw if you didn’t notice at the start theres this guy in the background that moves abnormally fast
They are all dead
This is all a scam.
Two UK companies have offered subs to conduct a rescue attempt and US coastguard refused help
Why???
That mustache is kinda sus…… like 1947 sus
Seriously. Who gives a flying fck.
Over 700 people probably drowned in the Med last week. Yet this bs is walk to wall news.
Are billionaires just better than normal people? FCK NO. If anything they are much worse.
I say we fill another submarine full of billionaires to go and look for them
Why does he look like Matt Lucas
Maybe there’s a curse in that particular area of the Atlantic. The Titanic did sink there after all🤷🏼♀️ maybe it’s jinxed like a hotspot for things that go missing like the Bermuda Triangle 👻
Hundreds of people die of the Greek coast and not even a fraction of money or effort spent on rescuing the rich is done there.
Hurry up, there's billionaires down there!
🙏🏻God bless all bk safe & return🙏🏻
Play stupid games win stupid prizes
Hope and pray 🙏 🤲 for them to come up from this water bless all indeed Thankyou
Try Subway
Apparently the UK want to send a deep sea vessel but the US government want to use a new york-based sub even though the UK one can go far deeper
they keep saying 96 hours of air, that is for one person, RIP for all of those involved
He basically said that there is no chance they will be saved on time. I will take hours to even begin he search even more time to travel to the area and even if located it will take more time to even get to those depths in the ocean.
I did read there’s scuba tanks under the floor. Don’t know if true.
And, Mail Online: the CEO, on board, ignored safety requests.
Prayers they’re rescued in time.
Bro has a strong moustache there
Would they exit the sub?
Leviathan class lifeform detected
I pray they find them and rescue them in time.
Right so even if they find the sub how do they retreive it ?
