titanic-submarine

NEW YORK: A submarine that took tourists to the site of the Titanic shipwreck went missing in the Atlantic. The submarine took five tourists as part of the OceanGate Expedition for their RMS TITANIC Mission. British businessman Hamish Harding was in the crew and it still remains a haunting paradox that he told media earlier that he is "lucky" to be part of the mission.

On June 18, the submarine started its mission to find remnants of the 100-year-old mystery marvel Titanic. Just a few hours into the journey, the radio signal was lost mysteriously creating panic among the crew.

After three days of missing, a special ship has been brought into the North Atlantic Ocean. American Navy is also engaged in the search process. Earlier too, an adventurer who went deep to have a glimpse of titanic relics went missing, not to be found again. TITAN went missing 600 miles away from Canada’s Newfoundland.

According to the company's specification, the Titan has life support underwater for 70 hours, or else, after an extended period of time, oxygen will be consumed and CO2 will be produced.

Oceangate has been running this tourist package since 2021.
