Experts believe the craft could run out of oxygen today
More emergency assistance is being dispatched to locate the missing Titan submersible, believed to have mere hours of oxygen supply remaining for its crew. Communication was lost with the submersible on Sunday, approximately 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, while on a journey to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada.
He further elaborated on the ongoing efforts, “Magellan is en route , we are still trying to get side scan sonar , and still working on ships to transport equipment and other details. We continue to come together for our friends, their families and the ideals of The Explorers Club, and the cause of safe scientific exploration of extreme environments. There is good cause for hope and we are making it more hopeful.
The US coast guard is leading the international rescue effort, which was intensified after detecting underwater sounds on Tuesday and again on Wednesday. The cause of the noise, however, remains undetermined by experts. Deep-sea explorer Dr David Gallo believes these sounds are a positive sign and could only be from the vessel due to the 30-minute intervals between sounds.
Five surface vessels were deployed by the coast guard to search for Titan on Wednesday, with an expected increase to ten by Thursday, according to Captain Jamie Frederick at a Wednesday press conference. Titan is presumed to be approximately 900 miles east and 400 miles south of Newfoundland. The exact depth at which the vessel lies is unknown, with the seabed in the region approximately 3,800m below the surface.
