Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International An underwater vessel used to take tourists to the wreckage of the Titanic has gone missing, with a search and rescue operation now underway to locate the craft. The submersible, which is roughly the size of a truck, went missing in the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday with crew members on board. Government agencies and deep-sea specialists are assisting with the operation. The craft is understood to be the Titan, built by Washington-based exploration company OceanGate Inc. The Titan is designed to take five people to a depth of 4,000 meters. The structure has a life support span of 96 hours (four days) for five people, according to OceanGate’s website. Each round-trip journey to the Titanic wreckage can take up to 10 hours.
The difference between a submersible and a submarine is that the former is not as powerful, and sometimes relies on another vessel that remains on the surface. The Titan, for example, used a tugboat called the Polar Prince. The Titanic lies at around 3,800 meters in the North Atlantic seabed, off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The cruise ship sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg — a story that became almost universally known thanks to James Cameron’s blockbuster 1998 movie starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet. OceanGate first launched its Titan voyages in 2019. Seats on board cost up to $250,000 per head. One of its major safety features is a real-time health monitoring system, which was designed to analyze the effects of changing pressure on the vessel, and provide early warning signs of abnormalities to the pilot. In a statement shared with the BBC, OceanGate said: “Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Among the handful of new titles arriving on Netflix on July 1 is James Cameron’s “Titanic,” an addition that is rubbing some people the wrong way given last week’s tragedy aboard the OceanGate Titan submersible. Five members traveling inside the Titan were killed when the submersible imploded while en route to visit the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean. Some users on social media have criticized Netflix for bringing Cameron’s “Titanic” to the streaming platform so soon after the submersible tragedy. As one user wrote, “Netflix is overstepping the boundaries of decency on this timing.” Many people are accusing the streamer of attempting to capitalize on the Titan deaths by adding “Titanic” to its library.
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor MrBeast, the hugely popular YouTube creator known for his over-the-top stunts and challenges, said he had been invited on OceanGate’s submersible earlier in June but ultimately declined the offer. “I was invited earlier this month to ride the titanic submarine, I said no. Kind of scary that I could have been on it,” MrBeast tweeted Sunday morning. On Sunday, June 18, the Titan submersible operated by OceanGate that was diving to the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean lost contact with its surface support ship. On Thursday, the company issued a statement that all five members on board were presumed to have died after the sub had a “catastrophic implosion.”
Adele posed a question at her Las Vegas concert that, at some point, just about everyone has probably pondered: If given the opportunity, would they have jumped at the opportunity to visit the Titanic at the bottom of the sea in a submersible? In video shared on TikTok, the «Someone Like You» songstress prefaced the question Friday night by acknowledging that the submersible, Titan, imploding and killing all five passengers aboard the 21-foot vessel was «so sad and so tragic.»«But I have been debating with my friends on our group chats. Everyone’s like, 'I would never do that.' But that’s a lie, 'cause a lot of people would do that,» the 35-year-old singer said during her residency at The Colosseum. «I wanna do a vote — not in mind of what happened, 'cause that was so sad and so tragic -- but before this week, how many people would, if they could, would go down to the very, very bottom of the ocean to see the Titanic? Raise your hands.»After a decent amount of people raised their hands, Adele responded with, «See, I knew it! Turn the lights on so I can see the balconies… that's a very good proportion.»But more concertgoers appeared to raise their hands when asked if they wouldn't go on the tour, prompting Adele to raise the stakes and ask if they'd go to space. «I wouldn’t do it either but only because I’m a bit of a p**y.

The Wall Street Journal, the «catastrophic implosion» was actually heard days ago when secret U.S. Navy underwater microphones — designed to detect enemy submarines — first detected the implosion just hours after the OceanGate Expeditions' vessel began its voyage on Sunday.The tourist sub lost contact with the Polar Prince research ship an hour and 45 minutes after submerging in an area approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, in the North Atlantic, where the ocean reaches a depth of around 13,000 feet.«The U.S.

https://t.co/iEsIPIfXBVpic.twitter.com/zIHlkcJTf1«The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel so we'll continue to work and continue to search the area down there, but I don't have an answer for prospects at this time,» Mauger said.As for the banging noises heard just days ago — offering a glimmer of hope that the passengers may still be alive — Mauger said «there doesn't appear to be any connection between the noises and the location on the sea floor» where the debris field was discovered.OceanGate Expeditions said in a statement that «we now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost.»«This is an extremely sad time for our dedicated employees who are exhausted and grieving deeply over this loss. The entire OceanGate family is deeply grateful for the countless men and women from multiple organizations of the international community who expedited wide-ranging resources and have worked so very hard on this mission,» the statement continued.

deposition transcript for the FTC vs Microsoft and Activision Blizzard King case, Sony Interactive Entertainment’s CEO Jim Ryan explained why the company wouldn’t be able to share key info about its upcoming PlayStation console with Activision were Activision to be bought by Microsoft (via Stephen Totilo).“We simply could not run the risk of a company that was owned by a direct competitor having access to that information,” Ryan said, alluding to the possibility that if Sony shared info with Activision to help it craft console-exclusive features for hypothetical PlayStation 6 launch titles, Activision’s (would-be) parent company, Microsoft, would examine the details of the still-in-development PlayStation 6 and have unfair knowledge of what its rival was cooking up. This knowledge would possibly enable Microsoft to integrate its competitor’s console’s benefits into its own next-generation hardware.Ryan also said he believed Activision under Microsoft would not be incentivized to take advantage of unique PlayStation features, as Activision would be focused first and foremost on making its game experiences great on Microsoft’s systems (Xbox and PC).
Hamish Harding.There has been news about the five passengers, Harding; Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his teenage son, Suleman; French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, the company that operates the vessel. But Harding’s came with a twist when his stepson, Bran Szasz shared a post that went viral at a Blink-182 show on Monday the 19th. “It might be distasteful being here but my family would want me to be at the Blink-182 show as it’s my favorite band and music helps me in difficult times!” He wrote on social media.
tourist submersible on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage, a story of one of filmmaker James Cameron’s most harrowing dives to study the Titanic — and what he would find out after — has come to the surface.The Academy Award-winning movie director behind “Titanic” was inside a submersible vessel nearly 13,000 feet underwater on the fateful date of September 11, 2001.After the 68-year-old director and his crew finished their exploration of the 1912 tragedy that killed about 1,500 people and returned to the main ship, Cameron was told of the nightmare that happened on U.S. land just 12 hours earlier.“What is this thing that’s going on?” Cameron asked actor Bill Paxton, who played treasure hunter Brock Lovett in the film.“The worst terrorist attack in history, Jim,” Paxton told him.Paxton recounted for Cameron the nightmare that took place: planes crashed into the World Trade Centers’ Twin Towers in Manhattan, N.Y.
One of the men on the missing Titanic tourist sub clearly understood the risks of such a trip.
The stepson of one of the men missing on the OceanGate Expeditions submarine that went down to see the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean is drawing attention online for all the wrong reasons.
Manori Ravindran Executive Editor of International The heartrending search to locate and rescue the Titan submersible before it runs out of its four-day air supply will be the focus of a new fast-turnaround documentary on U.K. broadcaster Channel 5. “Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea” has been scheduled to air on Thursday at 7 p.m. local time. The doc will be presented by 5 News host Dan Walker. The ITN-produced documentary promises to “go beyond” news coverage and bring viewers up to date, while examining the wider context about the voyage, its passengers and the fascination with the Titanic shipwreck. The film will also talk to experts and look at the rise of extreme tourism.
The Titanic-bound tourist submarine that has gone missing somewhere in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean may have been the source of eerie “banging sounds” picked up by sonar equipment in recent days.
tourist submersible on an expedition to the wreckage “has the potential to be a major tragedy.”“No matter what you may read in the coming hours, all that is truly known at this time is that communications with the submersible have been lost and that is unusual enough to warrant the most serious consideration,” Stephenson wrote in a Facebook post Monday.“I am most concerned about the souls aboard, whose identities have not yet been made public,” he added at the time, though the five passengers have since been identified. Stephenson and Cameron, 68, journeyed over 2 miles beneath the ocean surface to the wreckage of the Titanic in 2005.
The clock is ticking, and there’s still been no sign of the missing tourist submarine that went down to explore the Titanic…
