Five people aboard a missing submersible near the wreck of the Titanic had just hours left of their presumed air supply on Thursday , the fifth day of a massive multinational search across thousands of square kilometres in the remote North Atlantic.
Precisely when depends on factors such as whether the craft still has power and how calm those on board are, experts say, and assumes the Titan is still intact. But the Coast Guard said that remote-controlled underwater vehicles searching where the noises were detected had not yielded results, and officials cautioned that the sounds might not have originated from the Titan.
The research vessel Atalante was first using an echo-sounder to accurately map the seabed in order for the robot's search to be more targeted, the French marine research institute Ifremer said. The passengers included British billionaire and adventurer Hamish Harding, 58, and Pakistani-born business magnate Shahzada Dawood, 48, with his 19-year-old son Suleman, who are both British citizens.
Sean Leet, who heads a company that jointly owns the support ship, the Polar Prince, said on Wednesday that all protocols were followed before the submersible lost contact.
