On Sunday, June 18, the US Coastguard revealed that a submersible used to take tourists to explore the wreck of Titanic had lost contact with its base off the coast of Canada.
The craft held a “five-person crew”, who each paid $250,000 (£195,270) for the eight-day expedition to see the wreck, and is believed to have between 70 to 96 hours of air. So, officials have since been racing against time to rescue those on the submersible.
