Relatives of victims of Titanic tragedy from Mayo keeping submersible crew in their thoughts

The relatives of several Titanic victims who travelled from a small Mayo town on the historic sunken ship said they are keeping the crew of the missing submersible "in their thoughts."

Tiny submersible tourist boat Titan, with five people onboard, lost communication with tour operators on Sunday while hundreds of miles off Newfoundland and is believed to be caught in the wreckage of the original Titanic some 12,500 feet below the surface.

Underwater noises possibly linked to the lost submersible were heard on Wednesday, with the commercial vessel believed to be the size of a minivan inside, with one small toilet and only a 21 inch viewing window, due to run out of oxygen in less than 20 hours.
