Missing Titanic sub: How could the vessel disappear?

Canadian and U.S. rescue crews are undergoing a major operation off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador to find an OceanGate Expeditions submersible.

The vessel vanished while taking tourists to visit the Titanic wreckage site, and only has three to four days of oxygen left.

Neetu Garcha speaks with CBS News correspondent David Pogue, who rode an OceanGate Expeditions vessel in 2022, about what could have gone wrong with the watercraft and what his experience was.

Appreciate that gentleman’s frankness! It’s very worrisome!

I’ve been a commercial diver since 1993. When you’re dealing with 2 miles of sea depth, there’s a fine line between things F-ing up. My heart goes out to them ❤️

It usually gets delayed due to weather conditions or mechanical failure. This statement alone says you shouldn’t go into this. “Frequent mechanical failure”

111 years later and the Titanic is still taking lives

Horrible way to die if they are just stuck somewhere, in the dark, waiting for the oxygen to run out. That would be right up there with my worst nightmare.

This voyage sounds like an extremely risky endeavor. There are just too many unknowns that can go wrong.

You couldn't pay me to go underwater in that.

The worst thing is that we'll probably never find out what happened. I hope I'm wrong and they reappear tomorrow.

So to summarize it's a sub that has mechanical failures regularly and there is no way to retrieve it... And this was considered safe?

We have a European saying " Who looks for danger dies in danger". We as humans should respect nature & danger. I hope for them they will be found - alive.

I feel so restless after learning about the story earlier today. I can't imagine being stuck a few km below the sea and unable to do anything to save myself.

[kbee]

I’d never go on a craft like that!! No way!! I’m praying for the crew and passengers 🙏🙏

[Gump-tion]

But why risk your life for something like this?! It’s just not worth it. People have some strange fixations

[sammym.belfastchild]

The Old Gal Titanic is sending a message, to let her and those rest in peace... Sad situation all round.

[albaniapascal]

This looks like a nightmare from get go.

[susanmacdonald]

These expeditions didn't sound like they were ever a good idea.

[apollojan]

this is making me feel uneasy. i can’t imagine the feeling of helplessness

[russavsukraine]

Once I knew it used a video game controller to control the vehicle .. that's all you should need to know how reliable this thing is.

[JOlivier]

Suffocating to death in a tiny, cold, dark space with 4 other people over the course of 3 days. My anxiety levels spike to even consider it. It might not even be right side up, or horizontal.. They could all be wedged at the one side.

how could vessel go missing? ugh the ocean is big, it probably crumpled like a pop can and sank to the bottom
