OPINION - OceanGate Expedition scientist on the lost Titan submersible: Tech & Science Daily podcast

Searches are continuing for the missing Titanic expedition submersible that’s been missing since Sunday.

The US coastguard said there was a “five-person crew” on the 21-foot craft which lost contact with its base off the coast of Canada as it headed for the wreck 12,500ft below the North Atlantic.

Dr Steve Ross, the chief scientist of the 2022 Titanic survey expedition who has been on the "first of its kind" submersible, told Tech & Science Daily about the vessel itself and its capabilities.

Plus Steve Thorpe, the submarine escape capability manager at Survitec, tells the podcast just how difficult the search and rescue mission will be, and how important the conditions in the Atlantic will be.

And the rest

Scientists are warning a marine heatwave that’s warming seas around the British Isles could have a devastating effect on delicate aquatic ecosystems as temperatures soar up to 5C above the seasonal average.

Professor Yueng-Djern Lenn, an expert in physical oceanography at Bangor University, tells Tech & Science Daily there are growing concerns about the impact on marine life used to colder waters of the North Sea.

A ransomware group has claimed responsibility for a phishing attack on Reddit back in February, and is now demanding $4.5 million, and changes to the site.

The Blackcat group says it’s behind the attack, in which hackers gained access to 80GB of internal Reddit data, and is threatening to release it publicly if demands aren’t met.

A study reveals pre-historic long-necked reptiles were decapitated by their predators, and the ‘world’s first’ air fryer shopping aisle revealed by Iceland.
