A search continued Tuesday for a five-person submersible that went missing Sunday morning while ferrying tourists to view the sunken wreckage of the Titanic off the coast of southeast Canada.
Wealthy British adventurer Hamish Harding, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman are on board. The two others believed to be on board are French Navy veteran PH Nargeolet, who would be driving the vessel, and Stockton Rush, CEO and founder of watercraft operator OceanGate Expeditions.
The U.S. Coast Guard, which is leading the mission, said Tuesday afternoon the search had yet to yield results and that the vessel is estimated to contain 40 more hours of oxygen.

U.S. Coast Guard Cpt. Jamie Frederick, speaking to reporters, said 7,600 square miles have been searched but “to date, those search efforts have not yielded any results.” He said more aircraft are scheduled to join the search today and that the Coast Guard is using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to search the last known location of the vessel.
Frederick called the search both “unique” and “challenging.” Crews have to search both under the water and at the surface. It’s also physically difficult to reach the remote area, which is about 900 miles off Cape Cod, especially for large vessels carrying heavy equipment.
“Nine hundred miles is an enormous amount of distance,” said Coast Guard Public Affairs Chief Robert Simpson, who added that the rescue coordination center is in Boston.
Depending on the vessel and where it’s departing from, it could be a matter of “two days to four to five days” to reach the location, said Simpson.
He said there was little visibility during Monday’s search due to fog but that the conditions have been improving.","source":"","title":"Coast Guard Says Sub Has 40 Hours Of Oxygen Left","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"5640d5fee4b0307f2cae383b","userId":"5640d5fee4b0307f2cae383c","fullName":"Nina Golgowski","bio":{"text":"Nina Golgowski is a senior breaking news and general assignment reporter.

OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush showed off one of the gaming controllers during a tour of the submersible last year with the CBC.
“It’s meant for a 16-year-old to throw it around and it’s super durable. We keep a couple spares on board just in case,” he said of the Bluetooth-equipped device.
In 2017 the U.S. Navy announced it would use Xbox 360 controllers to operate periscopes on some of its newer, more advanced submarines.
“The Navy got together and they asked a bunch of [junior officers] and junior guys, ‘What can we do to make your life better?’” Lt. j.g. Kyle Leonard, the USS John Warner’s assistant weapons officer, told The Virginian-Pilot. “And one of the things that came out is the controls for the scope. It’s kind of clunky in your hand; it’s real heavy.”
Other cited perks of using a video game controller is that they can be easily replaced and that many sailors are already familiar with how to use them.","source":"

Starlink, which is operated by SpaceX, is a satellite constellation that delivers internet capabilities in remote locations.
“Without any cell towers in the middle of the ocean, we are relying on @Starlink to provide the communications we require throughout this year’s 2023 Titanic Expedition,” OceanGate Expeditions, which operates the five-person sub, wrote on Twitter last week in another post.","source":"

Michael Guillen on Tuesday shared a video clip from his trip on Twitter while recalling how the accident “almost claimed my life.”
In the video shot for ABC News, Guillen says a strong underwater current pushed their vessel up to the ship’s propellers along the seafloor. When they tried to back out, they found themselves stuck beneath the stern.
Guillen also recalled the harrowing incident in his 2021 book, “Believing Is Seeing,” according to the Daily Mail.
In his book, he said his vessel slammed into the ship and it took them 30 minutes to break free.
“I felt the shock of the collision: rusty debris showered down on our submersible, obscuring my view through the porthole,” he wrote.
Just when he thought they would never escape, the watercraft broke free after extensive “forward and backward” rocking by the team.","source":"

\"I don’t know if that is automatically generated or generated by people on board,\" he said.","source":"","title":"Oceanologist Says Crew Sent Out ‘Emergency Ping’","type":"image","summary":"","badge":"","cta":[],"meta":null,"credit":"","creditUrl":"","authorship":{"author":{"id":"6213700de4b08ee35ee54721","fullName":"Marita Vlachou","bio":{"text":"Marita Vlachou is a breaking news reporter for HuffPost based in London, United Kingdom.","microText":"Breaking News Reporter, HuffPost"},"urls":{"twitter":"@maritavlachou"},"urlName":{"text":"marita-vlachou","transliterated":"marita-vlachou"},"profileUrl":{"name":"6426e5d92400001d003df00d","ops":"","ext":"jpg"}},"firstPublishedAt":"2023-06-20T11:54:00.854Z","lastPublishedAt":"2023-06-20T11:54:00.854Z","formattedFirstPublishedAt":"Jun 20, 2023, 7:54 AM EDT"},"thumbnail":{"url":{"fileName":"default-entry.jpg","type":"hectorUrl"},"credit":"","ops":""},"textWrap":"wrapped","imagePositionInUnit":null,"imagePositionInSubUnit":null,"authors":[{"authorData":{"id":"6213700de4b08ee35ee54721","fullName":"Marita Vlachou","slug":"marita-vlachou","headshot":{"type":"hector","url":"https://img.huffingtonpost.com/asset/6426e5d92400001d003df00d.jpg","queryParams":{},"width":400,"height":400,"credit":"","ops":""},"socialAccounts":{},"title":"","links":{"permalink":"https://www.huffpost.com/author/marita-vlachou"}}}],"isLiveblogSlide":false},"provider":null},{"embedData":"

Coast Guard Says Sub Has 40 Hours Of Oxygen Left
U.S. Coast Guard Cpt. Jamie Frederick, speaking to reporters, said 7,600 square miles have been searched but “to date, those search efforts have not yielded any results.” He said more aircraft are scheduled to join the search today and that the Coast Guard is using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) to search the last known location of the vessel.
Frederick called the search both “unique” and “challenging.” Crews have to search both under the water and at the surface. It’s also physically difficult to reach the remote area, which is about 900 miles off Cape Cod, especially for large vessels carrying heavy equipment.
“Nine hundred miles is an enormous amount of distance,” said Coast Guard Public Affairs Chief Robert Simpson, who added that the rescue coordination center is in Boston.
Depending on the vessel and where it’s departing from, it could be a matter of “two days to four to five days” to reach the location, said Simpson.
He said there was little visibility during Monday’s search due to fog but that the conditions have been improving.
Sub’s CEO Expressed Concerns Of Not Resurfacing
“What I worry about most are things that will stop me from being able to get to the surface,” Stockton Rush (pictured at left) said on reporter David Pogue’s podcast, “Unsung Science.”
“Overhangs, fish nets, entanglement hazards. And, that’s just a technique, piloting technique. It’s pretty clear — if it’s an overhang, don’t go under it. If there is a net, don’t go near it. So, you can avoid those if you are just slow and steady,” he said.
Rush added that everything in life involves risk but that he felt safe making the trek.
“I don’t think it’s very dangerous. If you look at submersible activity over the last three decades, there hasn’t even been a major injury, let alone a fatality,” he said.
A former ABC News correspondent who completed the same dive in 2000, said his vessel found itself unable to surface when a strong underwater current propelled him and his crew beneath the ship’s stern.
Michael Guillen, recalling his experience on Twitter on Tuesday, said the incident “almost claimed my life” and that it took some time for the submersible he was in to get free.
Adding A Beacon To Sub Was Discussed
A passenger told “CBS Sunday Morning” that the vessel was lost for two and a half hours.
Pogue said the submarine does not have any kind of beacon like an aircraft’s emergency locator transmitter that could be detected by searchers, but he said adding one was discussed after the previous incident with the lost vessel.
Sub Uses Video Game Controller, Which Military Does Too
OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush showed off one of the gaming controllers during a tour of the submersible last year with the CBC.
“It’s meant for a 16-year-old to throw it around and it’s super durable. We keep a couple spares on board just in case,” he said of the Bluetooth-equipped device.
In 2017 the U.S. Navy announced it would use Xbox 360 controllers to operate periscopes on some of its newer, more advanced submarines.
“The Navy got together and they asked a bunch of [junior officers] and junior guys, ‘What can we do to make your life better?’” Lt. j.g. Kyle Leonard, the USS John Warner’s assistant weapons officer, told The Virginian-Pilot. “And one of the things that came out is the controls for the scope. It’s kind of clunky in your hand; it’s real heavy.”
Other cited perks of using a video game controller is that they can be easily replaced and that many sailors are already familiar with how to use them.
Friend Of Missing Sub Crew Member Shares Her Biggest Concern
“I do believe that his training will serve him well because he is a seasoned pilot and he’s proven his durability by flying into space,” among other places, Jannicke Mikkelsen told Sky News.
Mikkelsen added that she is most concerned about the possibility of the crew “being stuck at the bottom of the ocean with 96 hours of air and not able to get back to the surface.”
U.S. Coast Guard: 10,000 Square Miles Searched So Far
Current search efforts include the use of Canadian aircraft that can detect submarines using sonar. Two research vessels, including the ship that the submersible was launched from, are continuing to search the water’s surface, the Coast Guard said.
Company Behind Missing Sub Says Starlink Made Prior Titanic Expeditions ‘A Success’
There is no evidence to suggest Musk’s company is in any way responsible for the loss of communication between the Titanic vessel and the Polar Prince ship.
Starlink, which is operated by SpaceX, is a satellite constellation that delivers internet capabilities in remote locations.
“Without any cell towers in the middle of the ocean, we are relying on @Starlink to provide the communications we require throughout this year’s 2023 Titanic Expedition,” OceanGate Expeditions, which operates the five-person sub, wrote on Twitter last week in another post.
Man Recalls Sub Getting Stuck Under Titanic’s Stern During 2000 Dive
Michael Guillen on Tuesday shared a video clip from his trip on Twitter while recalling how the accident “almost claimed my life.”
In the video shot for ABC News, Guillen says a strong underwater current pushed their vessel up to the ship’s propellers along the seafloor. When they tried to back out, they found themselves stuck beneath the stern.
Guillen also recalled the harrowing incident in his 2021 book, “Believing Is Seeing,” according to the Daily Mail.
In his book, he said his vessel slammed into the ship and it took them 30 minutes to break free.
“I felt the shock of the collision: rusty debris showered down on our submersible, obscuring my view through the porthole,” he wrote.
Just when he thought they would never escape, the watercraft broke free after extensive “forward and backward” rocking by the team.
Marine Scientist Shares ‘Some Hope’ Missing Vessel Could Be Located
“Another commercial vessel, a very capable pipe laying vessel, modern ship, with ROV [remotely operated underwater vehicle] capabilities, is actually over the site now and we’re just hoping that it has the capabilities to reach those kind of depths — 3,800 meters — to search for the submersible and have the ability to recover it,” Mearns told the network.
The People Thought To Be Aboard The Missing Vessel
Hamish Harding (pictured), a British explorer and businessman, was part of the crew, Richard Garriott de Cayeux, the president of the The Explorers Club, said in a statement.
Harding was a founding member of the professional society’s Board of Trustees.
