Submarine carrying out tourist tours to wreck of sunken Titanic, disappears in Atlantic Ocean

A small submarine belonging to the company OceanGate Expeditions, which organizes tourist tours to the wreck of the famous Titanic ship that sank in the Atlantic Ocean, has disappeared.

The US Coast Guard announced that search and rescue operations were continuing off Newfoundland, Canada, where the wreck of the Titanic is located, and the Titan submarine provided 96 hours of survival time to those on deck. It is stated that British billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding and a former French submarine pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet are on the 5-person submarine with which communication was lost during the morning hours yesterday. It is unknown how many people were on the vehicle in total. The tours organized to the wreck of the Titanic, which is located at a depth of 3 thousand 800 meters, last for 8 days. Tourists pay 250 thousand dollars per person.

In the early morning of April 15, 1912, a watercraft carrying tourists who wanted to tour the wreck of the Titanic, which hit an iceberg during its journey from Southampton to New York, disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean. While the race against time is going on to save 5 people who dived to see the Titanic by paying 250 thousand dollars, CNN International announced that repeated banging sounds were heard in the region every 30 minutes.
