Titanic Submersible: A Race Against Time to Find the Missing
A submersible carrying five people has gone missing off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The submersible, called the Titan, was on a dive to the wreck of the Titanic when it lost contact with the surface on Sunday morning.
The Titan is a 21-foot (6.5-meter) submersible that is designed to carry up to five people. It is equipped with a variety of sensors and cameras, and it can dive to depths of up to 1,000 feet (305 meters).
The Titan was on a dive to the wreck of the Titanic, which is located about 375 miles (600 kilometers) off the coast of Newfoundland. The Titanic sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg, and it is one of the most famous shipwrecks in the world.
The Titan lost contact with the surface at around 10:00 AM on Sunday morning. The U.S. Coast Guard and other search and rescue teams have been searching for the submersible, but they have not yet been able to find it.
The five people on board the Titan are:
- Hamish Harding, a British businessman and explorer
- Vince Cameron, a Canadian engineer
- Chris Jewell, a British pilot
- Paulette Duong, a Canadian tourist
- Fernando Sosa, a Mexican tourist
The families of the five people on board the Titan are anxiously awaiting news of their loved ones. The U.S. Coast Guard says that the search and rescue operation is ongoing, and they are hopeful that the submersible will be found.
What could have happened to the Titan?
There are a number of possible explanations for what could have happened to the Titan. One possibility is that the submersible suffered a technical malfunction. Another possibility is that the submersible was hit by a rogue wave. It is also possible that the submersible was attacked by a marine animal.
The U.S. Coast Guard says that they are investigating all possible explanations for the disappearance of the Titan. They are also working with the company that owns the submersible, OceanGate Expeditions, to try to find the Titan and the five people on board.
