In a race against time, a tourist submarine named “Titanic” finds itself in a dangerous situation as oxygen supplies run dangerously low.
Titanic tourist submarine: Debris discovered near designated search area
The United States Coast Guard has reported the discovery of a debris field within the designated search area, signalling the presence of the ill-fated submarine near the historic Titanic wreck.
This distressing development has prompted experts within the unified command to evaluate the situation meticulously.
Amid the ongoing search and rescue operation, hopes remain high for a positive outcome.
As reported by Sky News, the French deep-sea robot Victor 6 000, renowned for its capabilities in extreme underwater conditions, has been deployed to aid in the rescue efforts.
Additionally, the Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic has contributed its own remotely operated vehicle (ROV), which is now actively exploring the ocean floor.
Who is onboard the Titanic submersible?
Among those anxiously awaiting news is Shahzada Dawood, a passenger aboard the Titanic submarine.
A close friend, Ammad Adam, described Dawood as a remarkable gentleman, emphasising his kind-hearted nature and the impact he has had on those around him.
Prayers for a miraculous rescue continue to pour in, as loved ones cling to the hope of a safe return.
The passengers on board the ill-fated submarine include not only Dawood but also British billionaire Hamish Harding, French sub pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Stockton Rush, the visionary chief executive and founder of OceanGate, the company operating the Titanic.
Suleman, Dawood’s 19-year-old son and a student at Strathclyde University in Glasgow, is also among those missing in the deep.
Is the Titanic tourist submarine out of oxygen?
While the US Coast Guard had earlier estimated the remaining oxygen supplies on board the submarine, they have confirmed that the search and rescue operation is still underway, emphasising its active status.
The Canadian Coast Guard continues to provide steadfast support in the search for the Titanic, with the navy ship HMCS Glace Bay actively engaged in the mission.
Equipped with a specialized medical team skilled in dive medicine and a six-person mobile hyperbaric recompression chamber, the vessel stands ready to aid in potential rescue efforts.
Joining the Canadian Coast Guard are three coast guard ships: John Cabot, Ann Harvey, and Terry Fox.
These vessels are equipped with crucial rescue equipment and personnel, poised to provide assistance should the need arise.
The vast search and rescue operation encompasses many resources, including remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), aircraft, and various other vessels.
The urgency to locate and rescue the Titanic submarine intensifies as the clock ticks and oxygen levels dwindle. The world watches with bated breath, hoping for a successful outcome and the safe return of all those aboard the ill-fated vessel.
