There is a race against time to find a lost submersible, with the US Coast Guard confirming there is just an estimated 20 hours left of oxygen on the vessel.
The submersible, named Titan, lost communication with tour operators on Sunday while about 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, during a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck off the coast of Canada.
