Titanic sub expert gives horrifying prediction on survival chances of those on board missing vessel

The missing tourist submersible with five people onboard has a 1% chance of being found and rescued safely, an expert has predicted.

A massive search and rescue operation is currently under way in the mid-Atlantic after the tourist sub went missing during a dive to the sunken Titanic shipwreck, which lies some 435 miles (700km) south of St John's, Newfoundland, on Sunday.

Contact with the small submarine was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive, and the passengers will only have Oxygen until Thursday at 11am, after which it will run out.
