A submersible used to take tourists to view the wreck of the Titanic has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean, sparking a search and rescue mission.

The Boston Coastguard told the BBC an operation to find the submersible was under way on Monday.

It is not clear how many people, if any, were on board at the time it went missing.

Small submersibles occasionally take paying tourists to view the wreck of the Titanic.

The famous shipwreck sits 3,800m (12,500ft) down at the bottom of the Atlantic. It is about 600km (370 miles) off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The passenger liner, which was the largest ship of its time, hit an iceberg on its maiden voyage from Southampton to New York in 1912. Of the 2,200 passengers and crew onboard, more than 1,500 died.

The Titanic has been extensively explored since the wreck was discovered in 1985.

[UserSince2005]

Now, OceanGate is giving a small group of paying tourists the opportunity to view the Titanic during a 10-day mission, including eight days at sea, according to a tourist brochure. Guests pay $250,000 to take a five-crew submersible, called the "Titan," down about 2.5 miles to the wreckage on the ocean floor.

£200,000 for each person taking the trip !!

:::::

A submersible craft used to take people to see the wreck of the Titanic has gone missing in the Atlantic Ocean with its crew on board, sparking a major search and rescue operation.
Tour firm OceanGate, which runs $250,000-a-seat expeditions to the wreck, said it was exploring all options to get the crew back safely.
It said government agencies and deep sea firms were helping the operation.
The Titanic sank in 1912 and lies some 3,800m (12,500ft) beneath the waves.
The missing craft is believed to be OceanGate's Titan submersible, a truck-sized sub that holds five people and usually dives with a four-day supply of oxygen.
It is not known when contact with the craft was lost.
"Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families," OceanGate said in a statement.

They are essentially buried alive.

I have to say it sends shivers down my spine when I see images of the Titanic at the bottom of the Ocean…it’s just haunting.
These trips have been going on for sometime…I would say many wealthy people have had the experience…but it clearly comes with risk.
People with this kind of money seem to thrive on this sort of thing…I find it strangely morbid…but when you have no doubt afforded everything money can buy they just want to push the boundaries even more.
All pretty tragic though….

Interesting watch.
So looks like a good group of 20 or so people are on board the mothership and they go down in groups of 3 for few hours to view the wreckage. So they should have been back by now.

Awkward when the reporter signs the document to say that he agrees to travel in the experimental submersible that could result in death 💀 ✍️ 💀

[LaLaLand]

I wonder what they're doing if they're just stranded? Not a lot I suppose, just sitting and waiting/hoping? Can't even begin to imagine. :omgno:

Unless something terrible has already happened that is, which I very much hope is not the case. Please let this is a success story - it's about time everyone had some good news. :fc:

[bots]

Submarines are dangerous, particularly when diving very deep

If they are on the bottom of the ocean, it's curtains. If they some how managed to get to the surface then they will be ok.

[Zizu]

There are apparently a few built in safety measures which will result in the craft floating to the surface .. they won’t work if it’s trapped or wedged into a small gap or underwater cave though

As mentioned before the key thing is the few days of oxygen left .

If I had £200 thousand to blow on a trip I’d be demanding at least a fortnights worth of oxygen or taking my own personal supply !

Yes, but the route to New York(in my eyes, after seeing a map of the area) just didnt need to involve the enclave that is new foundland. Surely it should have just sailed on by to New York.:shrug:

Article states it was 350 miles from Newfoundland (the nearest land), map below if that helps any.

I think it had actually drifted quite a distance off course before sinking as well (which is why it took several years to locate in the first place, they didn't have exact coordinates)

yes, i agree. It is basically a burial ground.

If they were going to be found alive, it would already have happened. I very much doubt they will ever be located, the water is just too deep and the vessel too small

The US Coast Guard has just tweeted confirming that a Canadian P-3 aircraft "detected underwater noises in the search area".

This is the first official confirmation from search authorities of the information being reported by US media, although they did not specify "banging" sounds.

As a result of the pick-up, the US Coast Guard said they had relocated operations. So far those searchers "have yielded negative results".

The internal US Department of Homeland Security memos being reported say the underwater banging sounds could be heard for hours.

After the inital pick-up by a Candian aircraft, additional sonar was deployed to the area four hours later where "banging was still heard".

CNN is also reporting an updated memo sent Tuesday night, which suggested more sounds were picked up.

“Additional acoustic feedback was heard and will assist in vectoring surface assets and also indicating continued hope of survivors,” said the second memo according to CNN's report.

I told you this yesterday :nono:

[Cherie]

The US Coast Guard has just tweeted confirming that a Canadian P-3 aircraft "detected underwater noises in the search area".

This is the first official confirmation from search authorities of the information being reported by US media, although they did not specify "banging" sounds.

As a result of the pick-up, the US Coast Guard said they had relocated operations. So far those searchers "have yielded negative results".

The internal US Department of Homeland Security memos being reported say the underwater banging sounds could be heard for hours.

After the inital pick-up by a Candian aircraft, additional sonar was deployed to the area four hours later where "banging was still heard".

CNN is also reporting an updated memo sent Tuesday night, which suggested more sounds were picked up.

“Additional acoustic feedback was heard and will assist in vectoring surface assets and also indicating continued hope of survivors,” said the second memo according to CNN's report.

There was someone on the news this morning who said that if they tapped too often or constantly the noise wouldn't be picked up as easily. If there is a sustained effort that seems to follow a pattern - ie every 30 minutes they it is more likely to be human rather than just ocean noises or sea life.

realistically, there will be much less than 96 hours air. They weren't a professional outfit, it's unlikely they would have filled the oxygen to the max

If they were going to have any hope of rescuing them, they would need to have found them already, and even that would be a tall order

Missing sub could be at the surface, says former submarine commander

Victoria Gill

Science correspondent

A submarine search and rescue expert in Australia, Frank Owen, tells the BBC his “confidence went up by an order of magnitude” when he heard reports of banging being detected by floating sound detectors.

“There's a couple of reasons for that,” he explains. “Firstly, on board this craft is a retired French navy diver. He would know the protocol for trying to alert searching forces… on the hour and the half hour you bang like hell for three minutes.”

He says the sound signal being picked by a buoy close to the surface also suggests that the sub itself could be near or at the surface.

“Below about 180 metres, the water temperature drops very rapidly,” he explained. “That creates a layer that the [sonar signal] bounces off. But if you’re in the same depth water it tends to go quite straight.”

Even if Titan is at the surface, it will be difficult to spot. Very little of the small, white vessel sits above the water.

But using an array of sound-detecting buoys to triangulate the signal could narrow down its position.

It was said earlier that it's supposed to have safety measures that make it float to the surface if in trouble (assuming not trapped) but that raises a whole other question for me ... ... ...

If this is a possibility, why is there not;

1) The ability to open from the inside once at the surface
2) An inflatable life raft with GPS locator

The reason it wouldn't be feasible to use GPS if it's sunk is that GPS doesn't work through deep water. It would work fine at or near the surface. The suggestion seems to basically be that they could be at the surface but ... still trapped inside? Only openable from the outside? Or perhaps, simply nowhere to go if they exit?

I do hope they find them but they need to be fast. Their oxygen is limited.

[bots]

That doesn't seem like a very smart choice

the whole design is done on the cheap. They designed it that way due to the enormous pressure at the depth of the titanic, so the sub would require more expensive parts if it had a hatch. Also, it may not actually be possible to open a hatch at that level, so they would need something more like a tube that the could open/close from side to side rather than opening outward

I don't mean to be pessimistic but I just don't think they're going to find it... Not only "not in time" but full stop. I think it's either lost to the ocean forever or, more horrendously, might eventually wash up somewhere if it is still buoyant.

[Quantum Boy]

THAT SAID - I also was convinced they weren't going to get those Thai lads out of the flooding caves - so I guess there's still a few hours of hope.

[bots]

I have a lot of respect for those involved in the rescue efforts. While there is still time, there is still hope, but we are probably at the lottery winning level of luck required now to get a good result.

The thing about oxygen running out is that it is not like an on/off switch. The level of oxygen will go down, people will become unconscious before finally dying and at that point their metabolic rate tends toward zero. Some of the crew may die, but that then allows the remainder to last a bit longer in an unconscious state. So although there is a cut off point this morning, from a life preserving aspect, it could potentially go on for a lot longer, at least for some of the crew

[Nicky91]

but who says the oxygen inside that sub is still perfectly fine breathable and all that, apparently they have these oxygen filters onboard which work on batteries, if the battery is dead sooner than the oxygen runs out, the oxygen can turn poisonous if not filtered anymore



how could this have happened in the first place? i mean even James Cameron went down there with an entire professional team, with special radar on a boat directly above him monitoring his and his filming crew's whereabouts every second, back when they needed some authentic material for the film



and this one didn't have radar on a boat above them tracking them or what? i call that very unprofessional if so

Actually whales in general are either plankton or shrimp eaters and have very small throats - blue whale's throat is smaller than a human fist. So whales literally cannot swallow you.

There have I believe been incidents with scuba divers being accidently "scooped up" by whales (usually humpback) then being spat back out unharmed along with any other fish etc. that are too big to swallow.

You're marginally more likely to be eaten (in chunks) by a Killer Whale but Killer Whales are actually not whales, they're dolphins.

[edit] More exciting added info: When divers are hurt by whales it's pretty much never an attack, they're very gentle. Usually it's being accidentally hit by their tail. Which is obviously ****ing huge and can break bones.
