Titanic submersible: Exact time oxygen will run out for crew as search reaches endgame

Rescue workers continue the hunt for the Titanic submersible with the oxygen supply on board expected to run out at 12.08pm UK time, a US Coast Guard spokesperson has said.

The vessel, named Titan, lost communication with tour operators on Sunday 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-long OceanGate Expeditions vessel, which has British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding on board, reportedly had a 96-hour oxygen supply in case of emergencies.
