Ships and planes are searching for a submarine that went missing more than a day earlier off the coast of southeastern Canada while taking tourists to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
One pilot and four passengers were on board the vessel, that has the capacity to be submerged for 96 hours.Officials have also been reaching out to commercial vessels for help in the search.
US and Canadian ships and planes have swarmed the area about 1 450 km east of Cape Cod, some dropping sonar buoys that can monitor to a depth of 3 962 meters, US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters on Monday."We are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board," he said."Going into this evening we will continue to fly aircraft and move additional vessels.
"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. Harding's stepson wrote on Facebook that Harding had"gone missing on submarine" and asked for"thoughts and prayers." The stepson subsequently removed the post, citing respect for the family's privacy.
