that vanished on a trip to the Titanic wreck site,"CBS Sunday Morning" correspondent David Pogue gave insight as to what might have happened to the vessel. for a story last year, said the vessel should be bobbing on the ocean's surface given that features allow it to rise from the depths of the sea without electricity, and even if everyone aboard is passed out.
At this point, hope is"quickly fading," Pogue said, because, while the vessel theoretically has four days' worth of oxygen, that supply has never been tested. No one has ever been inside the vessel for four days, Pogue said. An expedition to the Titanic site usually lasts 10 to 12 hours, with about two and a half hours spent descending to the Titanic wreck and a few hours spent exploring before resurfacing.
Pogue noted that, in international waters, vessels like the Titan operate without inspections or certifications from third-party organizations. Although he said that like with a rocket launch, there are meticulous checklists and briefings.
