The U.S. Coast Guard crew from Boston continues to search for the five people on the missing Titanic expedition sub, as they race against the 96-hour oxygen supply deadline to find the submersible about 900 miles off of Cape Cod.
The U.S. Coast Guard crew from Boston continues to search for the five people on the missing Titanic expedition sub, as they race against the 96-hour oxygen supply deadline to find the submersible about 900 miles off of Cape Cod.
The Coast Guard has until about Thursday morning before that oxygen supply will be up for the five people on board the Canadian research vessel Polar Prince.
The five-person crew on the Canadian research vessel Polar Prince submerged Sunday morning, and the crew lost contact about 1 hour and 45 minutes into the vessel’s dive.
The OceanGate Expeditions sub has a 96-hour oxygen supply if there’s an emergency on board.
“We know there’s about 40 hours of breathable air left,” Capt. Jamie Frederick, of the First Coast Guard District, said during a Tuesday early afternoon press conference from the Coast Guard Base Boston.
