Missing Titanic Submersible Likely Used Its 96 Hours Of Oxygen

The missing submersible ‘Titan’ that was exploring the wreckage of the Titanic likely used its 96 hours of Oxygen.

The search and rescue mission would not stop, says Rear Adm. John Mauger. The coast guard announced that a remotely operated vehicle launched by a Canadian vessel hit the sea floor Thursday and has begun searching for the missing submersible.

The five-person expedition to see the wreckage of the Titanic vanished off the coast of southeastern Canada on Sunday, 900 miles east of Cape Cod. Loud ‘banging noises’ were picked up by sonar, but that ended up giving no results on the location.

There are five passengers inside the missing Titan submersible.
