What happened to the submarine that went to explore the wreckage of the Titanic in the depths of the Atlantic? Since Sunday June 18, the crew has given no news. The search has started but time is running out because oxygen is limited on board.
Are the Titan submarine and its occupants 3,800 meters deep alongside the wreck of the Titanic they had set out to explore? After two days of unsuccessful surface search, the US Coast Guard is now focusing its efforts underwater. In the race against time, France diverted a research vessel, equipped with a remote-controlled underwater robot capable of inspecting the seabed.
A complex search
“It is an extremely complex research that requires a lot of specialized equipment and a lot of expertise. The US Coast Guard took on the coordinating role in his search, but we don’t have the expertise for a search of this magnitude.“, explains Jamie Frederick, the captain of the American coast guard. The Titan is a technological innovation that offers sightseeing tours of the wreck of the Titanic in the Atlantic. He disappeared less than two hours after leaving.
