The US Coast Guard is scrambling to gather resources to help locate a missing tourist submarine that vanished while exploring the Titanic. It is estimated there is just over 30 hours left of oxygen in the vessel. apiotrowski9 9News MORE:
Sunday night about 700 kilometres south of St John's, in the Canadian province of Newfoundland, according to the country's Joint Rescue Coordination Centre.Officials are in a race against time to find a civilian submersible that had five people aboard after it went missing in the North Atlantic while voyaging to the wreckage of the Titanic.
Alistair Greig, a professor of marine engineering at University College London, said submersibles typically have a drop weight, which is "a mass they can release in the case of an emergency to bring them up to the surface using buoyancy". The Polar Prince was to continue to do surface searches throughout the night and a Canadian Boeing P-8 Poseidon reconnaissance aircraft will resume their surface and subsurface search in the morning, the US Coast Guard said on Twitter.The Canadian military also dropped sonar buoys to listen for any possible sounds from the Titan.
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told The Associated Press in June 2021 that each dive would typically include a pilot, a researcher and three mission specialists. Rush called the Titan's technology "very cutting edge" and said it was developed with the help of NASA and Boeing and a number of aerospace manufacturers.
The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families. Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector. Since the wreckage's discovery in 1985, it has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria. Some have predicted the ship could vanish in a matter of decades as holes yawn in the hull and sections disintegrate.
