Watch: Missing Titanic submarine update from U.S. Coast Guard

U.S. and Canadian rescue teams were racing against time to locate a submersible carrying five people to the wreckage site of the Titanic after the submarine vanished in the North Atlantic Ocean two days earlier.

The carbon-fiber submersible named the Titan had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it went out to sea at about 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions.

Onboard the submersible were a pilot, a renowned British adventurer, two members of an iconic Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert. The vessel was reported overdue Sunday night about 435 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland, according to Canada’s Joint Rescue Coordination Center.

Someone's getting reamed right now (possibly fired) for not adequately checking/testing their audio prior to an event.

[lauriedesjardins]

Despite the audio - I have faith in the U.S. Coast Guard and their teams. Bring those explorers back home!

[WanderlustDeanna]

I would like for these people to LIVE and tell their own story.

[FellowOfHammer]

No way they will be found, maybe sad, I can't imagine their anxiety and fear right now.

Father God, I come to you in Jesus' mighty name. Father, You know exactly where, in the vast ocean that you created, Lord, that tiny ship is located. Father, I pray that your divine will is to have the ship and its passengers bought to safety. Lord, I pray that the conjoined rescue forces are guided and strengthened by your mighty hand. We praise and thank you Lord, for all that we will learn in this endeavor to save lives Father God, In Jesus's mighty name I pray, Amen

[MerlinOfAtlantis]

subnautica and iron lung are two games that show exactly why this was a bad idea in the first place

[catbyte]

Why did they paint that thing white and not fluorescent orange or something? If it is at the surface, it's going to be nearly impossible to spot, but I fear it imploded.

[NexVice]

It was inaudible most of the time, poor audio quality, very low volume and the Chat was not enabled so we could tell you in the moment.

[lauriedesjardins]

Very poor audio - can't hear anything.

[purplelovrgrl]

This whole situation has me intrigued and anxious, all while being scared. I don’t know why I’m scared because it’s not me, but maybe I’m just scared for them.

[evileyes]

Titan was name of book about an I'll fated ship wrote before Titanic that had same happening

[robbiegotgame]

If this was regular citizens they would just leave them see if they come ashore😂government dont care about us unless its billionaires 💰 😂😂😂

[beverlyvarnerbv]

I am no expert in any of this, but w/ all the safety regs for ships I have a hard time understanding how the Coast Guard would allow this at all?!

[lauriedesjardins]

Looks like they got a little better audio going now.

[tstucka]

Am I the only one that has zero sound?

[MathandEngineering]

But i wonder what confidence people use to enter submarines and go under water, i mean i can't even enter a floating boat or a ship,

[diamondpaintingking]

They will be visiting them in 100 years

[daliblose]

With all the prayers I'm sure our lord had a hold of them ...rip 😔🙏👀💗2023 june
