Rescue team submarine visit Titanic keep racing against the clock to save the victims. They are desperately trying to find the missing sub on Sunday, assuming the supplies oxygen few hours left.
Together with ships from all over Europe, a search is underway for a submarine named Titan, which went missing near the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean.
The search is being carried out by planes, ships and remotely operated vehicles, which stepped up efforts to search for the five crew members who were aboard the submarine after hearing an underwater ‘crash’ on Wednesday. The search area was extended to 26,000 km2.
“We need to remain optimistic and hopeful in a search and rescue situation like this,” said Captain Jamie Frederick, Coast Guard Response Coordinator.

“We are in the middle of this search and rescue operation. I don’t want to discuss the end of this operation.”
A Norwegian ship equipped with autonomous underwater robots and another French ship are exploring the last known location of Titan, about 700 km off Newfoundland, Canada.
However, even if the submarine is found, it will be almost impossible to reach it as it is trapped at a depth of around 3,800 meters below the ocean floor.
The US Coast Guard, which commands the delicate operation, moved their rescue efforts after detecting the noises, but so far have had no positive results.
Experts predict the oxygen in the submarine will run out by Thursday morning.

Canadian authorities reported that the carbon fiber submarine went missing on Sunday evening, triggering international rescue efforts.
On board the submarine were a pilot, a famous British adventurer, two members of a Pakistani business family and a Titanic expert. They are on a tourist visit to the legendary shipwreck.
Titan received a 96-hour oxygen supply when it departed at 6 a.m. Sunday, according to David Concannon, OceanGate Expeditions adviser overseeing the mission.
David Pogue, a journalist who had made an expedition to the Titanic aboard the submarine Titan the previous year, said that the submarine used two systems of communication: continuous text messages with surface ships and a signal security issued every 15 minutes to indicate that the submarine was still operational.
However, both systems shut down about an hour and 45 minutes after the sinking of the submarine.
“There are only two possible outcomes. Either they run out of steam completely or the ship sustains hull damage and immediately explodes. Neither offers any hope,” Pogue said. Tuesday.
Experts say rescuers face formidable challenges.
Alistair Greig, professor of marine engineering at University College London, explains that submarines typically have a drop weight, which is “a weight they can take off in an emergency to bring them up to the surface using buoyancy”.
“If there is a power outage and/or a communication failure, it can happen, and the submarine will float on the surface, waiting to be discovered,” he said.
