Search underway for missing submarine that takes people to see Titanic

A rescue operation was underway deep in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean on Monday in search of a submersible vessel that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia said the vessel was reported overdue around 9:13 p.m. Sunday, about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland. Lt. Cmdr. Len Hickey said a Canadian Coast Guard vessel and military aircraft were assisting the search effort, which was being led by the U.S. Coast Guard in Boston.

OceanGate Expeditions confirmed the search for its five-person submersible and said its focus was on those aboard the vessel and their families.

I've been watching this all day. The Coast Guard Rear Admirals, former NTSB officials, the oceanographers, the previous passengers, (insert your favorite "expert" here). It is simply beyond me that not a single "expert", reporter or contributor has mentioned the factor that I feel should be the most feared. You can have all the cabin pressure you want. You can have enough food, fresh water and oxygen to last for years. You can have toilets, a shower and a micro-brewery. Listen folks ~ THE WATER IS FREEZING down there. Nuff said.

Unfortunately it’s going to likely be a recovery not a rescue.

I was just telling my dad last week about how people pay money to go view the wreck and how stupid you’d have to be. I can’t believe a week later this happens.

[champs]

Wow. Cant wait for the hollywood theatrical movie version.

[PeterKamei]

Where is Aquaman??? We badly need u now😂😂

[vSeabass]

Ngl, these ppl all having 250k to blow like that makes me 100% unsympathetic to their situation. Hold that L

[igotbusybees]

They're more than likely already dead. $250k a seat and such an expensive sub and they didn't spend the money to put a tracker on it

[andrewiverson]

Use the machine that sees the ground level to look for it...

Someone used one to find a car...

I think it would work.

Please let me know if my idea will be used to save these people, I pray it does!

Titanic: deep-sixing millionaires since 1912.

Why they don’t have a tracking device on the submarine

[niseydeniseterry]

I would not ever go in the depths of the ocean, you literally are betting with your human existence if you do that. It’s crazy yet sad once you wrap your head around the truth. Some things are better left alone!

[perkmonster]

Those passengers are already gone 🙏 and they’re never finding it . Should’ve just watched the movie

[Onewayto]

I gotta say - this really pisses me off. Every agency involved in trying to rescue these 4 too-rich-for-their-own-good idiots are spending millions of dollars trying to get these clowns back safely. I say let them lay in whatever watery grave they’re almost undoubtedly in at this point. They knew the risks, they took the chances.
Bye bye idiots!

At 12, 000 feet deep or a depth of 2 and a half miles down, one Crack and you're a pancake and no one will find nothing the pressure will crush anything

In the depths of the sea, a story unfolds,
Of the wealthy and foolish, with pockets of gold.
They sought an adventure, a morbid affair,
To witness the Titanic, with little to spare.

Two hundred thousand per person they paid,
For a tour of the wreckage, where souls were laid.
Frivolous and carefree, their fortunes displayed,
Unaware of the darkness that patiently stayed.

The submarine descended, its passengers thrilled,
With no thoughts of danger or lives to be stilled.
They marveled at relics, the ship's haunting remains,
Blinded by opulence, ignorant of the chains.

But fate is a jester, with tricks up its sleeve,
And amidst the wreckage, they started to grieve.
Lost in the abyss, their cheers turned to cries,
As the submarine drifted, their hope slowly dies.

Their wealth couldn't save them from the depths' cruel grip,
As panic and terror began to unclip.
They clung to each other, their faces now pale,
In a watery tomb, where fortunes turned frail.

A rescue was promised, a flicker of light,
But chances were slim in this desperate plight.
They waited in darkness, their hope wearing thin,
As the world above battled to save them from sin.

Oh, the irony lingers, in their frivolous flight,
For riches and indulgence led them to this plight.
Their wealth couldn't buy them a safe passage home,
As the ocean embraced them, no mercy to comb.

So let this be a warning to those with grand means,
To ponder the cost of their frivolous dreams.
For wealth may bring comfort and pleasures untold,
But in the depths of the sea, it means nothing, we're told.

When you broke sometime that's can make you less stupid

[patriciacook]

We can go into the Mariana trench, but we can't find these people? 🤔

[basti]

should load another submarine that can dive just as deep into the plane and drop it with false whistles over the spot where the other one is
Im an expert for these submarines


[Jkappy]

They shouldn’t have been down there. It’s a grave leave it be. Now the money resources and personnel being used over some silly sight seeing.
