Chris Brown, a friend of a passenger aboard the missing submersible near the wreck of the Titanic, said that he saw ‘shoddy’ parts when it underwent tests several years ago and canceled his own trip
Remote search vehicles reach ocean floorJune 22 - A "debris field" was discovered on Thursday by a robotic deep-sea vessel searching for a missing tourist submersible on the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, the U.S. Coast Guard said.
The desperate search for the 22-foot Titan submersible had reached a critical stage on Thursday morning, when the air supply for the five people on board was estimated to have nearly run out - or possibly run out. Another robot from a French research ship also dove toward the seabed on Thursday to search for signs of the Titan submersible.
But remote-controlled underwater vehicles searching where the noises were detected did not yield results, and officials cautioned the sounds might not have originated from the Titan.
