YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

The search for a diving vessel that was headed to the wreck of the Titanic has shifted underwater after air efforts failed to find the craft, which has five people onboard and about 40 hours of oxygen left.

The US Coast Guard and the Canadian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, have been conducting surface search missions overhead in the North Atlantic since Monday afternoon. OceanGate Expeditions, the operator of the mission, is leading underwater search efforts because of its knowledge of the site, Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said.

“There is a full-court press effort to get equipment on scene as quickly as we can,” US Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick said at a news briefing in Boston Tuesday.

The Titan submersible vessel was designed to have an oxygen supply of as much as 96 hours in case of an emergency, according to the Coast Guard. Frederick said the 40-hour estimate of breathable oxygen remaining is based on that number.
