R4.5m-a-guest Titanic wreckage tour submarine goes missing: US and Canadian ships and planes searched on Monday for a submarine that went missing more than a day earlier off the coast of southeastern Canada while taking tourists to explore the wreckage…
The US Coast Guard said there was one pilot and four passengers on board and that the vessel had the capacity to be submerged for 96 hours, but it was unclear whether it was still underwater or had surfaced and was unable to communicate.
Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman, were also on board, their family said in a statement. OceanGate said: “We are deeply thankful for the extensive assistance we have received from several government agencies and deep sea companies in our efforts to reestablish contact with the submersible.”
The expedition headed out to sea on Friday, and the first dive was set for Sunday morning, according to Harding's post.
