There's been no sign of life since Sunday. It would be wrong to entertain false hopes for the five crew and passengers who plunged into the North Atlantic aboard a small tourist sub to explore the wreck of the Titanic. We ask about the massive search-and-rescue effort and see why it would be a miracle if those inside the Titan live to tell the tale.
We also ask about the fascination with the Titanic, the world’s largest cruise ship that went down during its maiden transatlantic crossing in 1912. Long before James Cameron's 1997 Hollywood blockbuster, the story of the rich and poor who embarked on the ill-fated liner has captivated our collective imagination.
