Inside the Titanic sub that killed Five tourists after a ‘catastrophic implosion’

Rescue teams are racing against time to find a submersible that was en route to the seabed where the Titanic lies. A Pakistani businessman and his son, along with British billionaire Hamish Harding, were on board.

The search continues for the missing tourist vessel with five people on board, at depths of up to 4,000 meters. How do submersibles deal with the pressures of the deep sea — and how deep can they go?

The desperate search to locate the missing submersible that disappeared near the wreck of the Titanic has entered a critical stage today, with just hours of oxygen supply believed to be left.

Underwater noises heard during the frantic search for the Titan submersible have sparked fresh hope of finding the missing vessel. The sounds were picked up by a Canadian aircraft using buoys with underwater sonar capabilities. Remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) were then deployed to further investigate the origin of the "banging" sounds, but have yielded no results so far.
