The massive search operation for the missing submersible Titan on Sunday with five people on board as it made its way to the area of the wreck titanic, in the North Atlantic, is entering a critical phase this Thursday 22 as oxygen reserves can be exhausted in a matter of hours. The Coast Guard of US remains “optimistic” but the situation is seen as increasingly complicated for passengers on private company OceanGate Expeditions’ small deepsea submersible with 96hour emergency oxygen. The Wednesday 21st report of the discovery of underwater noise by Canadian P3 aircraft in the search area raised hopes and provided guidance for the international sea rescue team deployed to the scene. “We don’t know the sounds,” said Captain Jamie Frederick, spokesman for the US Coast Guard.
Communications with the small submersible Titan were lost on Sunday, almost two hours after the equipment began its descent to the remains of the famous ocean liner Titanic, which lies nearly 4,000 meters deep and about 600 kilometers from Terra Nova in the northern Atlantic. Traveling by submersible are billionaire British aviator Hamish Harding, president of private jet company Action Aviation; Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, vice president of the engroconglomerate, and his son Suleman; French diver PaulHenri Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the company that operates the Titan, which charges US$250,000 (about R$1.2 million) per tourist.
