The search to find the missing submarine that vanished amid a trek to visit the ruins of the Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean on Sunday morning reached a critical point on Thursday, as we all know. Per estimates, the vessel, carrying five high-paying passengers, is said to have run out of oxygen at around 7 a.m. EST this morning.
It’s a devastating realization for investigators and all the crew member’s families. Yet one person sounds hopeful there’s still a chance the adventurers could be saved!

In a new statement on Facebook on Thursday, Guillermo Söhnlein, who co-founded OceanGate Expeditions in 2009 with the current CEO and pilot aboard the Titan, Stockton Rush, suggested there may be more time to find the sub than many believe. He wrote:
He continued:
Conserving oxygen would be a smart thing to do, but it’s also gotta be very challenging considering the conditions they may be in. Not to mention the sheer panic that might take over! Addressing the air supply, he added more pointedly:

This means we’re already well past the timeline when they believed the oxygen would have run out. So, is this wishful thinking? We sure hope not, but it’s hard to know with the complex variables of this dilemma.

A man who pulled out of the ill-fated Titan submersible trip has opened up on a "haunting" moment he shared with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush the day before the journey. Arnie Weissmann, editor-in-chief of Travel Weekly, claims the multi-millionaire bragged about buying reduced price expired materials.
Yep, you read the headline right! Even with their CEO’s death, OceanGate is apparently still out to make a dollar!
Well, we guess this is the final piece of the search…
Well, this is a bit quick — and unexpected.
Since the news of the Titan tragedy, we’ve heard several stories about people who were invited at one point to make the dangerous voyage to see the Titanic wreckage – whether it be on the doomed vessel or not – but pulled out at the last minute. And now, another person who almost went on a submersible trip to the shipwreck has come forward: YouTube star MrBeast.
OceanGate is facing even more backlash following the death of five passengers on its Titan submersible. Why is that? Well, online sleuths discovered a job posting from the company advertising an “immediate opening” for a submersible pilot – which was still live during the search efforts for the vessel and the group of men.
Those who refused a trip on OceanGate’s submersible are no doubt feeling more and more grateful for their decision following the Titan vessel’s catastrophic implosion.
Former EastEnders actor turned adventure documentary maker Ross Kemp just revealed that he almost made a TV show diving down to the Titanic wreckage in a submersible owned by OceanGate.This revelation follows the tragic news announced on Thursday that the five passengers aboard the Titan sub - which was owned by diving company OceanGate - had perished during their recent expedition. In terms of daredevil Ross, who has made plenty of other nail-biting diving documentaries, the decision to go ahead with the Titanic exploration was called off by the production company behind his other shows.
More shocking information about the OceanGate submersible has come out.
Someone else has come forward to speak about his concerning experiences while on the Titan submersible.
Is this really the time to be defending a sub that just imploded?!
Less than a full day after the Titan submersible was confirmed to have imploded, the families of the passengers are “united in grief.”
recent criticism that the Titan submersible was “too experimental to carry passengers.”“In this kind of community, there are completely different opinions and views about how to do things, how to design submersibles, how to engineer them, build them, how to operate in the dives,” Söhnlein told the U.K.’s Times Radio on Friday. “But one thing that’s true of me and the other experts, is none of us were involved in the design, engineering, building, testing or even diving of the subs.
It’s easy to forget, amid all the talk of the OceanGate disaster killing CEOs and billionaires, that the youngest victim was only 19 years old. Just a kid really. And that young man was “terrified” of the excursion, according to his aunt.
Chris Brown signed up with tragic pal Hamish Harding, 68, after a 'few beers' while holidaying on Sir Richard Branson's Necker Island but later claimed scaffolding poles were used as ballast and the vessel was 'shoddy'. MailOnline has revealed that Vegas financier Jay Bloom and his son Sean also declined a voyage with his son Sean - even when they were offered a $100,000 discount off the $250,000 price by OceanGate CVEO Stockton Rush. And another explorer, David Concannon, was slated to join the trip but was forced to cancel at the last minute due to a work meeting.
