Retired Rear Admiral Parry of the UK Navy: The more optimistic scenario is that the submersible has lost contact with the umbilical cable responsible for supplying electricity, or the submersible has malfunctioned but is still in operation, only losing contact with the mother ship on the surface. Another opposite scenario is that the submersible may be entangled by the wreckage of the Titanic, which could lead to serious malfunctions.
The company that owns the missing submersible, Ocean Gate, issued a statement on the 19th, stating that efforts are being made to ensure the safe return of the missing persons.

According to reports, the Titan submersible is designed for a tourism project that can lead tourists to visit the wreckage of the Titanic underwater. The submersible can dive up to 4000 meters underwater.
It is understood that the company's sightseeing project on exploring the wreckage of the Titanic began in 2021, with each participating tourist paying a fee of $250000 to profit from research on the Titanic.
