The Titan vessel was said to have 96 hours of oxygen on board
A former Royal Navy submarine captain described the outlook for the missing Titan submersible as "bleak" as the oxygen deadline passes. While the search-and-rescue operation continues for Titan, oxygen is thought to have run out aboard the submersible.
"They won't stop for many days, I imagine, but the reality is if you base it off oxygen alone, then they're out of oxygen. Carbon dioxide is also a critical element to it as well as the cold. It would be a miracle if there were survivors from it." Meanwhile Downing Street said on Thursday that a British submariner and equipment from a UK firm would help the search.

As international search and rescue efforts forge ahead, each passing second makes it less likely that the passengers on the Titan will be found alive as their oxygen supply is expected to run out by Thursday morning. There are several possible outcomes, including that the vessel is found on the surface of the ocean; it is found on the ocean floor; its hull has been breached; or that oxygen will be depleted and the rescue mission turns into a recovery mission.
