The submersible vessel carrying five people that vanished en route to the Titanic shipwreck has enough oxygen to sustain those aboard for only about 40 more hours, the U.S. Coast Guard said this afternoon.
The submersible vessel carrying five people that vanished en route to the Titanic shipwreck has enough oxygen to sustain those aboard for only about 40 more hours, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Tuesday afternoon.
“While the U.S. Coast Guard has assumed the role of search-and-rescue mission coordinator, we do not have all of the necessary expertise and equipment required in a search of this nature,” Capt. Jamie Frederick said at a Coast Guard news conference in Boston on Tuesday. “The unified command brings that expertise and additional capability together to maximize effort in solving this very complex problem.
If the vessel is located underwater, however, bringing it to the surface could pose a challenge — the Coast Guard does not currently have the equipment to lift the submarine back to the surface, and declined to comment on how far away the nearest naval asset capable of doing so might be.
