London. The submarine taken to show the wreckage of Titanic has been missing for the last four days and no news has been received so far. There are only 10 hours left for the oxygen supply to run out for the five people aboard the ship.
The Canadian Coast Guard vehicle is constantly trying to find out about this submarine. A multinational operation is underway to find the submarine. Part of it is the US Coast Guard, Canadian military aircraft, French ships and teleguided robots.
According to the US Coast Guard, the people on the submarine have less than 10 hours of oxygen left. That’s why rescue teams are working round the clock. On Sunday, June 18, the Ocean Earth submarine had just reached 4000 feet below the ocean when it lost contact and has been missing ever since.
It’s been 4 days since the submarine went missing. But no search-news is being found. A total of five people were aboard the submarine, including a British, a Pakistani billionaire father and son, a Titanic expert and the CEO of Oceangate, the Washington state-based company that operated the vehicle.
American and Canadian ships and aircraft have been circling the area since Monday. At the same time, some sonar plows are being dropped which can monitor up to a depth of about 4,000 meters. But still everyone’s hands are empty.
According to the US Coast Guard, on Tuesday and Wednesday a Canadian aircraft detected noises underwater during the search. The officials said that they do not know what caused the noises.
First Coast Guard District Response Coordinator Capt. Jamie Fredericks said at a news conference that searches have escalated “exponentially” to a surface area nearly twice the size of Connecticut and 2.5 miles deep.
Rescue teams are facing serious challenges as they navigate around the area which has underwater mountains and valleys along with high sea water pressure and bad weather conditions.
