Although there is still hope, the likelihood of a successful outcome is dwindling as crews desperately search for the submersible that vanished on Sunday while exploring the Titanic wreck.
According to reports, the five-person submersible lost contact an hour and 45 minutes into its dive even though it was only equipped with three days’ worth of emergency oxygen.
The world has quickly learned about the Titan submarine. In order to help with the search effort, at least five vessels have already arrived at the Titanic wreck site. More are on their way.
There is now a race against time because the oxygen supplies on board are limited. However, experts concur that the circumstances are “against” those on board. Earlier today, it was reported that banging sounds had been heard in the area where Titan went missing.
Hamish Harding, Stockton Rush, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood, and his son Sulaiman have been named as the passengers on the submersible.
Our entire focus is on the crew members in the submersible and their families, said OceanGate, the company that took the tourists to the Titanic wreck. ”.
A torturous wait is taking place for the aforementioned families. Yesterday, Hamish Harding’s stepson made a fervent request for good thoughts and prayers for his missing stepfather.
“Hamish my stepdad is lost in a submarine thoughts and prayers that the rescue mission will be successful,” wrote Harding’s stepson Brian Szasz. 🙏🖤“.
According to rumors, Harding is a multibillionaire dealer in private jets who frequently travels for adventures.
He broke the record for the longest time spent at full ocean depth during a dive he made in the Mariana’s Trench’s deepest section while he was aboard Blue Origin’s fifth human-manned space flight.
The submersible went missing 435 miles south of Newfoundland, Canada, and rescue crews from the US and Canada are frantically searching for it.
According to Mike Welham, a marine operations expert and author, the discovery of noises underwater was “really good news,” but any rescue operation “takes time.”.
Welham compared the search to “somebody putting a 50p piece in a football field and trying to find it,” stressing that time is of the essence if the men are, in fact, still alive and present down there.
