The search and rescue team that is looking for the missing Titanic submersible is 'motivated by hope' at this stage, a US Coast Guard admiral has said. Experts are currently searching for the missing submersible in the area where noises have been heard beneath the surface.
Captain Jamie Frederick told reporters on Wednesday (June 21) the cause of the noises was still unconfirmed. But he has insisted the efforts to find the five missing people aboard the Titan was still “a rescue mission”.
The vessel lost communication with tour operators on Sunday (June 18) while about 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada. The 6.7m (22ft) long OceanGate Expeditions vessel may have less than 20 hours of oxygen left, reports PA.
