An international search for a missing tourist submersible, the Titan, entered a more desperate phase on Thursday as rescuers feared the oxygen supply on the vessel may be running out. The Titan departed on Sunday on a mission to survey the wreckage of the Titanic, and has been missing since then.
The search has been focused on an area where Canadian aircraft detected “underwater noises” on Tuesday and Wednesday. The U.S. Coast Guard estimated that the five passengers on board the submersible could run out of air just before 7:10 a.m. ET on Thursday.
A former passenger of the Titan, who was not on board when it went missing, is holding onto hope that it will be found. New ships have joined the race against time to locate the vessel and the exact situation onboard remains a mystery.
The Coast Guard has asked anyone with information about the Titan to contact them. The search for the missing submersible continues as rescuers hope to find it before the oxygen supply runs out.
