The search operation for the missing Titanic tour submersible is still ongoing as of 2023-06-21 04:50:21 PST. The search area is approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Mass., in a water depth of roughly 13,000 feet. The U.S. Coast Guard is leading the search, with assistance from the Canadian Coast Guard, the Royal Canadian Navy, and several commercial companies.
The submersible, which is operated by OceanGate Expeditions, was carrying five people when it went missing on Sunday, 2023-06-19. The people on board include one pilot and four mission specialists. The submersible is designed to have 96 hours of emergency oxygen, so the Coast Guard estimates that the people on board have about three to four days of life support remaining.
The search has been challenging due to the remote location of the submersible and the depth of the water. However, the Coast Guard has deployed a variety of assets, including aircraft, surface vessels, and underwater sonar buoys, to try to locate the submersible.
The Coast Guard has not given up hope of finding the submersible and the people on board. However, as time goes on, the chances of a successful rescue become more slim.
