'We are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board,' US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger says.
British billionaire Hamish Harding is among the passengers, according to a social media post from a relative.
“We are very grateful for the concern being shown by our colleagues and friends and would like to request everyone to pray for their safety,” the statement said. 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.”
Harding himself had posted on Facebook that he would be aboard the sub. There have been no further posts from him. The expedition headed out to sea on Friday, and the first dive was set for Sunday morning, according to Harding’s post.
