A man who survived after spending 84 hours trapped in a tiny sub that sank off the coast of Ireland has sent a message to the loved ones of the missing Titan crew, telling them: “After what we went through, there is always hope.”
In 1973, Roger Mallinson was laying cable in the Atlantic in a 6ft-diameter steel ball submersible when it sank 1,600ft to the seabed.
He and his fellow submariner Roger Chapman had just 12 minutes of oxygen left when they finally surfaced after the deepest underwater rescue in history.
