Days of rescue efforts for a missing submersible have reached a critical stage.
The estimated oxygen supply for the five people onboard is running out.
The Titan has been missing since Sunday
Though it could be floating at the surface, it is believed it’s more likely that it is on the sea floor near the Titanic wreck, 3,800 meters deep.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo is in Boston, where the U.S. coastguard is helping with the search for the latest updates.

Way more important things to cover
Why not use satellite
I’m still hopeful but dread the possible outcome😢😢😢😢
No one helped the 500 to 700 who sunk and the governments were watching The lord Almighty said the billions you are spending to find the rich will not help you. True Justice
They are not looking for poor refugees lost in the Mediterranean sea
Yeah me to. Hope if they didnt survived that they find them all together
It,s sad but the pressure is inmens , and no air 😢
The panic on that sub was probably off the charts. The absolute truth that they were doomed had to be the worst feeling ever. My condolences to the families and friends.

Expensive coffin.
I really hope the thing surfaced somewhere and they had a day or two to look out the window they couldn’t open while they slowly suffocated. Bonus points for regretting that they painted it white, instead of orange like the buoys used to sink the launch platform. You know, so you could find the buoys if they got lost…in the ocean.
@Skyisnotalimit I like your style
A man last night that does ocean salvage for a living said they would have frozen to death by now if there wasn’t some ind of explosion on board. I tend to agree. We can’t survive in those temperatures without the aid of tech and especially electricity.
Down there you implode not explode.
@Irene Olsen correct. Thanks
I’m betting either the carbon tube broke at the end caps and they died almost instantly, or there was a fire and they died within a couple of minutes.
Freezing to death at the bottom of the ocean would be really funny.
Shame on the whole system. You saw 500 to 700 migrants sunk and none of you so called helped. Oh yes some billionaires have sunk and the whole world is watching WHY?? Oh yes got it, Rich verses Poor. You did not save those poor now the Lord Almighty says with all the billions more you will not save the rich either. Justice from the Almighty
With all the technology still nothing 😢
Well this is a lesson to ramp up the technology
Too late.
Funny how the French ship needed to wait for hours for the US to give the French ship approval to search for the missing sub
It’s the US coast guard that is co-ordinating the rescue operations.
Seems like the safety measures and procedures were not very well studied nor implemented for an entertainment ticket that costs 250,000 Dollars.
France had to ask and wait for permission to go to the toilet from the class teacher. In international waters, with its citizen in the submersible. Stew peed and PATHETIC!!!
They paid millions to be trapped in a small container now filled with feces and urine. Mind you they only had one bottle water each. The concentrated urine mixed with feces means they are suffocating on the off gassing of feces and pneumonia from Urine. They now hold the record for deepest porter potty in the world.
The sheer cost of this rescue mission is lunacy. Anyone who undertakes such a venture ( $250, 000 dollars a head) should be required to sign a waiver precluding such a rescue mission and save all the rest of us the blather and needless expense.
Everyone who was on that thing was rich. I expect their rich families will find legal loopholes to weasel out of paying for the recovery of whatever is left of them.
why havent they sent rovers down there already, like the first day they were missing to look around the titanic to rule that area out
Same question that should have been the first point of contact I stand to be corrected
Am now thinking that this is one of the media propagandas just to distruct the general public about something happening or taking center stage somewhere
It’s crazy to think it was icebergs near america that close. Global warming got rid of all those
I will lay odds of these people ever being found is 225,000 to 1. They are gone and done.
📣 This is the Curse of Titanic
The air is out so the French are late again
At least they are there with materiel to help or at least try, I would be the families that would give me a bit of hope … where are you keyboard warrior?
That ship has better things to do than looking these hyper-rich morons.
@Jureerat Pholseela I’m at work where are you?
It’s not important. They are just 5 stupid men in minus.
Best smart contract ever!

Tell Russian to find after all its expensive life why hold ego
The Russian had their sub stuck under water a few years ago, the Americans were able to help but Russia refused the help and had their crew die.
Explore all possibilities
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wasn’t it enough with titanic going down!?
This is what happens when you choose diversity over experience white men because it’s more interesting, woke garbage 🤮🤮
It would have been a lot easier to tether the sub to the mothership. This thing was a deathtrap, and the people on it are all labor exploiting elitists, so I don’t really care if it’s found or not.
I fully support putting billionaires in sealed containers and dropping them into the ocean or blasting them into space. We should give them tax cuts for it. The deeper or higher you go, the less tax you pay.
It’s unfortunate, but there is no air and intense pressure.
$5 says either the carbon tube broke at one of the ends it was glued (yes, glued) to the titanium caps, and they all died instantly, or they died from a fire in a small tube that had oxygen pumped in and no way to ventilate smoke, and probably no emergency breathing apparatuses.
This submersible was extremely unserious in design and anyone who got on it was basically an idiot. You couldn’t have paid me enough money to get in that thing and have 17 bolts attached from the outside.
The ability of the tourist sub’s hull design to withstand such depths was questioned in a 2018 lawsuit filed by OceanGate’s former director of marine operations, David Lochridge, who said he was fired after he raised safety concerns about the vessel. The same happened when Alexander Carlysle, a designer at Harland and Wolf, raised concerns about the inadequate number of lifeboats on Titanic. His concerns were ignored and he resigned. I read that their means of communication was a play station. I don’t think that naming this submersible Titan was a very good idea – it is 2 letters short of the name Titanic. In an interview Stockton Rush said that the Titan was pretty much invulnerable; the interviewer replied that this was pretty much the same thing they said about Titanic. Stockton Rush replied with a yes. How prophetic. If Mr. Rush had himself not died then he would have had a lot to answer for. It seems that history has repeated itself – these people put money before safety and chose to ignore the advice of knowledgeable people.
Why they locked from out side.
