By India Today World Desk: Officials are in a race against time to locate a submersible tourist vessel that went missing on Sunday in the North Atlantic during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck with five people on board. The five people comprised one pilot and four “mission specialists”.
Rescuers are understood to be in a “race against time” as there is only enough oxygen on the submersible to last about 70 to 96 hours, The Times reported.
The 21-foot vessel has four days of emergency capability, the leader of search and rescue efforts said Monday afternoon.
Crews with the US and Canadian coast guards continued hunting the ocean’s surface about 900 miles east of Cape Cod and used sonar to listen for sounds far below the water, which is up to 13,000 feet deep in the area.
