The US and Canada are urgently searching for a tourist submersible not seen since Sunday.
US and Canadian search teams are racing against time to find a tourist submarine that went missing during a dive to the Titanic's wreck on Sunday.
Government agencies, both countries' navies and commercial deep-sea firms are all helping the rescue operation. The missing craft is believed to be tour firm OceanGate's Titan submersible, which CBS journalist David Pogue travelled aboard last year to reach the wreckage of the Titanic.that when the support ship is directly above the sub, short text messages are able to be sent between the two.Pogue says it is also not possible for those aboard the sub to escape by themselves because they are sealed inside by bolts applied from the outside.
The OceanGate website lists three submersibles it owns, and only the Titan is capable of diving deep enough to reach the Titanic wreckage.Tickets cost $250,000 for an eight-day trip including dives to the wreck at a depth of 3,800m .
