Submersible scientist Steve Somlyody fears the OceanGate, a deep-sea vehicle used to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, may have suffered a catastrophic implosion.
's DSRV, and possibly the HOV Alvin, would have to be flown close to the site, but also first readied for the mission, which could take untold hours, he said.
A U.S. Coast Guard vessel sits in port in Boston Harbor across from the U.S. Coast Guard Station Boston in Boston, Massachusetts, on June 19, 2023. A submersible vessel used to take tourists to see the wreckage of the Titanic in the North Atlantic has gone missing, triggering a search-and-rescue operation, the U.S. Coast Guard said on June 19, 2023."Yes, we're searching for it," said an official from the U.S. Coast Guard Rescue Coordination Center in Boston.
Vehicles such as the OceanGate would have multiple redundancies for both life support and for reaching the surface in an emergency. Among these redundancies would be several methods to lighten the vehicle and make it buoyant, said the submersibles expert. "If they were to float up from that depth, it would take a significant amount of time, depending upon how much weight they were able to shed and how buoyant they become."BOSTON - JUNE 13: Stockton Rush, OceanGate's chief executive, spoke at a press conference next to the Cyclops 1, a five-person sub that was used by OceanGate to capture detailed sonar images of the Andrea Doria shipwreck.
But all these efforts would be detectable by a sonobuoy — the kind being used in the rescue effort to search for the OceanGate."The lack of signs of communication is deeply worrisome."Fun stories about food, relationships, the great outdoors and more.

A search is underway for missing submersible that takes people to see TitanicA search is underway for a missing submersible that carries people to view the wreckage of the Titanic. That is according to media reports. The U.S. Coast Guard told BBC News that a search was underway Monday off the coast of Newfoundland. OceanGate Expeditions confirmed it owned the missing vessel and said it was working to bring the crew back safely. In 2021, OceanGate Expeditions began what it expected to become an annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of the iconic ocean liner that struck and iceberg and sank in 1912. The company said at the time that the expeditions would include about 40 paid tourists who would take turns operating sonar equipment in the five-person submersible.
