“It is operated by what essentially looks like a PlayStation controller.” See what it’s like inside the submersible that went missing on a trip to view the Titanic wreckage.
From CNN’s Lauren Said-Moorhouse, Brian Todd and Oren LiebermannThe Canadian Coast Guard is helping the United States with the search for the vessel with the Maritime Rescue Coordination Centre Boston coordinating the response.We have to make sure that we're looking on both the surface -- using aerial and surface vessels -- but then expanding into underwater search as well,” Rear Admiral John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District said in a news conference Monday.
Mauger said on Monday at 4:30 p.m. ET that the missing sub was designed with a"96-hour sustainment capability if there was an emergency on board," and"we anticipate there’s somewhere between 70 and the full 96 hours available at this point."The US Coast Guard has told CNN it has a ship on the scene as well as aircraft, including C-130 Hercules planes. Canadian ships and planes have also joined the search.
Canada has also launched a P-8 Poseidon aircraft. This is effectively a sub hunter, designed to search underwater for the mass of an enemy submarine. In this case, the difficulty may be in locating the much smaller submersible. Part of the way it searches is by dropping sonar buoys into the water to try and pick up a sound or acoustic signature that may be coming from the submersible.
