Titanic tourist submarine 'may be stuck in ship's wreckage 12,500ft below ocean

The missing Titanic submersible with five people onboard including British billionaire Hamish Harding could be stuck in the wreckage of the Titanic that it was diving to explore - an official has admitted.

The vessel, which operated by OceanGate Expeditions, was taking a crew of five people including company CEO Stockton Rush, French explorer PH Nargeolet and Harding to the historic site as part of it's $250,000 tour.

The crew launched at around 4am yesterday but lost communication with the mothership a short while afterwards. According to OceanGate's website, the sub can last for up to 96 hours underwater with five people consuming oxygen.
