“Zero hour” for the Titan submarine: Oxygen has run out – Two robots search for the 5 passengers

The time to find him is counting down submarine Titan that disappeared near its wreck Titanicbecause based on official forecasts the oxygen has run out. However, they have surrendered two robots, which continue to search for the 5 passengers

In particular, the crew reportedly ran out of oxygen at 14.00 noon (Greece time), as they had a supply for 96 hours, from the moment they dived into the sea. However, experts emphasize that the consumption of oxygen depends on many factors, such as the power supply on board and the psychological state of the passengers. That is, if they are panicked, they automatically start consuming more, due to the high heart rates.

The US Coast Guard, however, continues the investigation and reports that there may still be hope, despite the lack of information on the condition of the submarine. So far, more than 10,000 square miles of the North Atlantic have been surveyedwhile they have delivered two underwater robots.

But the eyes are focused on French research vessel Atalantebecause it is from the very few boats in the world, which can dive to such a depth, specifically to 6,000 meters. At the same time, for the first time, it uses a sound system to map the seabed so that the robot’s research is more targeted.

Also, the US Coast Guard announced that it is continuing rescue operations.

“We continue to find in particularly complex cases that people’s will to live also really needs to be taken into account. And, accordingly, we are continuing the search and will continue the rescue efforts,” said the rear admiral Joe Maugerhead of investigative operations at the NBC network.

Who are the 5 passengers?

THE OceanGate Expeditions said in a statement that the British billionaire was among those on board Hamish Harding. The 58-year-old businessman and space tourism enthusiast is chairman and chief executive of Dubai-based private jet sales company Action Aviation.

Information also states that the French explorer was also inside the submarine Paul Henri Narzolet and the managing director of OceanGate Expedition, Stockton Rush.

One of Pakistan’s richest men – a board member of the UK-based Prince’s Trust charity – and his son are also among the five people missing in the submarine. It is about the 48-year-old Shahzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman Dawood, 19 years old. “We are very grateful for the concern shown by our colleagues and friends and would like to ask everyone to pray for their safety,” the family said in a statement.

The Dawood family is one of the richest in Pakistan but has strong ties to the UK. Shahzada’s father, Hussain, 79, is chairman of Dawood Hercules Corporation, which makes chemicals, and Engro Corporation, which makes fertilizers, food and energy. He was born in Mumbai but studied at the University of Sheffield.

“Submarine launched successfully and Hamish is currently under the sea,” the company said on Twitter on Sunday, clarifying that the mission began “at 4am”.

In his post on Instagram, Harding himself had written on Saturday, announcing his participation in this trip, that “the crew of the submarine consists of some legendary explorers, some of whom have made more than 30 dives on the Titanic since the decade 1980”.

Mauger, for his part, did not want to give any information about the people on board the submarine, “out of respect for their family”. He limited himself to stating that, according to the management company, the submarine was carrying a pilot and four passengers.
