The U.S. Coast Guard in Boston says a search and rescue mission is underway for a missing submarine that was exploring the wreckage of the Titanic. The sub belongs to a company called OceanGate Expeditions, which says it is “mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely.” The Titanic sits more than 12,000 feet below the ocean’s surface in the North Atlantic.
OceanGate Expeditions charges $250,000 for an 8-day expedition, the carbon-fiber submersible offers what is billed as a “chance to step outside of everyday life.”
It is unclear whether or not there are currently passengers aboard the missing sub, although some reports suggest that there could be as many as five people onboard.

it doesn’t say how long they have been missing. another question that pops in my mind is, “ does it take 8 days to get there and back, “ to I me that seems a long time to travel underwater in a small vessel to reach the site. by looking at the map, it doesn’t look that far.

I am against OceanGate Expeditions. I personaly don’t think its safe
to take tourists underwater to visit the Titanic.
I hope everyone is safe and doing well.

At 13,000 feet at the bottom of the Atlantic, there is not a lot of options. I have heard there should be air for the crew up to 60 hours and a safety measure that automatically brings it to the surface in case of trouble. It takes a fearless person to want to make this dive, and certainly not me.

So sad.
