A submersible carrying five people went missing while on its way to explore the wreck of the Titanic. The United States Coast Guard has been leading the search efforts with the help of an international team of ships and planes.
The Report
A Canadian P-3 aircraft detected underwater noises during the search, which led to the relocation of search efforts, according to United States Coast Guard. An underwater robot has also been deployed to search the area. Salvage equipment is being prepared in case the sub is found.
The Canadian military has provided a patrol aircraft and two surface ships, including one that specializes in dive medicine. The U.S. military has also provided three C-17 transport planes to move commercial submersible and support equipment from Buffalo, New York, to St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Who Was On Board?
The pilot of the submersible was Stockton Rush, the CEO of the company leading the expedition. His passengers were a British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family, and a Titanic expert.
