According to Bloomberg on June 21st, a small submersible carrying five people exploring the sunken site of the Titanic has been missing for three days, leaving only 35 hours of oxygen supply. Search and rescue work has been carried out underwater in the North Atlantic.
According to reports, the US Coast Guard and Canadian joint rescue team have arrived at the affected area, and France has also dispatched a research ship equipped with underwater robots to the scene. The underwater robots can penetrate 4000 meters deep into the seabed, enough to reach the sinking position of the submersible.
According to reports, Captain Frederick of the US Coast Guard said at a press conference in Boston on June 20th local time that the search and rescue work was "very complex" and vowed to "do everything possible to ensure that rescue equipment arrives at the scene as soon as possible.".
In addition, according to CNN, the White House National Security Council's Strategic Communications Coordinator, Kobe, stated on the 20th that President Biden is "closely monitoring" this matter, and the US Navy is also on the lookout.
According to reports, the lost Titan submersible can dive up to 4000 meters underwater and is owned by the US private underwater exploration company, Ocean Gate, with a maximum capacity of 5 people.
According to reports, the missing location of the submersible is about 370 kilometers from the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador provinces in eastern Canada. The Titanic shipwreck site is located about 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, at a depth of 3800 meters underwater.
According to reports, the five missing persons include 58 year old British billionaire Hamish Harding, who is also a well-known adventurer and holds three Guinness World Records.
The family of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Daud confirmed in a statement that he and his 19-year-old son Suleiman were also on the submersible. 48 year old Daud is the Vice Chairman of one of Pakistan's largest conglomerates, the Anglo Group.
According to media reports, French diver Narjole, known as "Mr. Titanic," and Stockton Rush, founder and CEO of "Ocean Gate," were also on board the Titan.

Currently, he serves as the head of the underwater research department at a company that owns the wreckage of the Titanic.
