Titanic Submersible Runs Out of Oxygen in Hours, Rescue Efforts Continue
The search and rescue operation for the missing Titanic submersible is entering its critical phase. The submersible, called the Titan, has been missing for over 24 hours and the five people on board have only a few hours of oxygen remaining.
The Coast Guard has been using a variety of assets to search for the submersible, including aircraft, ships, and underwater robots. However, the search has been hampered by the harsh conditions in the North Atlantic Ocean. The water is cold and dark, and the currents are strong.
The Coast Guard is hopeful that the submersible will be found before the oxygen runs out. However, the chances of survival are diminishing with each passing hour.
The Titan is a privately owned submersible that is designed to carry up to five people. It is equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras, which allow the passengers to explore the underwater world. The submersible is also equipped with an emergency oxygen supply, which is designed to last for up to 96 hours.
The five people on board the Titan are all experienced divers and explorers. They are Hamish Harding, the founder and CEO of OceanGate Expeditions; Chris Tappenden, the expedition leader; Vince Cameron, a pilot and engineer; Erika Anderson, a submersible pilot; and Jared Fifield, a submersible pilot.
Harding is a British businessman and adventurer who has made several dives to the Titanic wreck site. He is the founder and CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, which offers commercial submersible dives to the Titanic.
Tappenden is a British engineer and diver who has also made several dives to the Titanic wreck site. He is the expedition leader for OceanGate Expeditions' current Titanic expedition.
Cameron is a Canadian pilot and engineer who has extensive experience in submersible operations. He is a pilot for OceanGate Expeditions.
Anderson is a U.S. submersible pilot who has experience in both commercial and scientific diving. She is a pilot for OceanGate Expeditions.
Fifield is a U.S. submersible pilot who has experience in both commercial and scientific diving. He is a pilot for OceanGate Expeditions.
The search for the Titan is ongoing. The Coast Guard is using all available resources to find the submersible and rescue the people on board. The world is holding its breath, hoping for a miracle.
