BOSTON — Rescuers hoped on Tuesday (June 20) that the arrival of specialised deep-sea vessels and US Navy experts would boost desperate efforts to find the tourist submersible that went missing near the wreck of the Titanic, as oxygen for the five onboard rapidly runs out.
All communication was lost with the 6.5m craft during its descent on Sunday to see the remains of the British passenger liner, which sits more than nearly 4km below the surface of the North Atlantic.
A US Navy spokesperson said a specialised winch system for lifting heavy objects from extreme depths, other equipment and personnel would join the rescue effort on Tuesday night. Rescuers estimate that passengers have less than two days of oxygen left, based on the sub's capacity to hold up to 96 hours of emergency air.
Mr David Lochridge cited the company’s"experimental and untested design of the Titan" in a court filing.On board is Briton Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush and French submarine operator Paul-Henri Nargeolet, nicknamed"Mr Titanic" for his frequent dives at the site.
Mr Shahzada and Suleman Dawood hail from one of Pakistan's richest families that runs Karachi-headquartered conglomerate Engro, with investments in energy, agriculture, petrochemicals and telecommunications.
