NFL star didn't realise Titanic was real as search for submarine continues

Baltimore Ravens defender Marlon Humphrey admitted earlier this year that he only learnt about the infamous 1912 sinking of the Titanic ocean liner at age-26. That discovery likely helped the NFL star keep up with news this week of five people going missing underwater amid an attempted visit to the ship's crash site.

"Was today year old when I found out the Titanic was real….that’s wild lowkey," Humphrey wrote on Twitter.

Five tourists, including Britons, paid around £200,000 to OceanGate Expeditions for what should have been an eight-hour trip in Titan to view the Titanic shipwreck. On Thursday, rescuers continued attempts to track down the lost submarine and save the passengers, but oxygen in the small vessel may run out soon if it hasn't already.
