THE LOST SUBMARINE

A massive search ramped up as authorities probed the North Atlantic for a tourist submarine that
went missing over the weekend on an expedition to explore the famous Titanic shipwreck. Here's
what we know so far about the submersible craft and what may have happened to it.

What exacly happened?

A five-person crew on a submersible named Titan, owned by OceanGate Expeditions, submerged on

a dive to the Titanic wreckage site Sunday morning, and the crew of the Polar Prince research ship
lost contact with the sub about an hour and 45 minutes later, the U.S. Coast Guard said Monday
afternoon.

A famous billionaire hamish harding was one of the crew member. Harding's company, Action
Aviation, later confirmed that he was aboard, The Associated Press reported. "There is still plenty of
time to facilitate a rescue mission, there is equipment on board for survival in this event," the
company's managing director, Mark Butler, told the AP. "We're all hoping and praying he comes
back safe and sound."

Butch Hendrick, president and founder of Lifeguard Systems — a company that conducts dive
training for public safety officers — told CBS News Tuesday that it's possible the Titan had reached
the ocean floor when it lost communication. Hendrick speculated the Titan "could have gotten itself
entangled somewhere," which could have caused the "communication antenna" to become
"dislodged" and "broken," prompting the vessel to lose communication.

People are still waiting if those people survived or not but they think that they have already died.
They won’t stop it’s found, even if it could take 30.
