The United States Coast Guard is still searching for the small underwater vessel that went missing on Sunday morning as it was descending to see the wreckage of the Titanic, which sank in 1912. There has been no reported contact from the passengers inside the vessel as of Tuesday morning.
The submersible went missing on Sunday morning, and was unable to communicate with the surface world roughly an hour and 45 minutes later after it began its descent, the Coast Guard said. Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, members of a prominent and wealthy Pakistan family, were also on board. “We are very grateful for the concern being shown by our colleagues and friends and would like to request everyone to pray for their safety while granting the family privacy at this time,” the Dawood family wrote in a statement to the Associated Press.
How deep is the Titanic wreckage? When the Titanic sank after hitting an iceberg during its 1912 maiden voyage, roughly 1,500 people died. The remnants of the massive ship are about 2.4 miles below the surface. What is a submersible? A submersible is an underwater craft that is typically used for scientific analysis.
