HALIFAX — Search vessels and aircraft from the United States and Canada were scouring an area Monday south of Newfoundland for a small submersible reported…
OceanGate Expeditions confirmed the search for its submersible and said it was “exploring all options” to bring the crew back safely.
“There are five people in the sub, two crew and three mission specialists,” Concannon said in an email. “Contact was lost as the sub was approaching the stern area of the Titanic. There is currently a multinational effort underway to bring assets to the wreck site that can perform a rescue mission.”Article content
“We understand from the operator of the vessel that the vessel was designed with a 96-hour sustainment capability if there was an emergency on board, so we are using that time, making the best use of every moment of that time to locate the vessel.” He declined to identify the missing people.Article content
Newfoundland and Labrador Premier Andrew Furey tweeted that he is thinking of those affected and hopes searchers find “the sub and those on it very soon.” “Every attempt is being made for a rescue mission. There is still plenty of time to facilitate a rescue mission, there is equipment on board for survival in this event,” Butler said. “We’re all hoping and praying he comes back safe and sound.”Article content
