The OceanGate expedition, with five people who paid $250,000 each to see the remains of the Titanic, lost contact with its support ship. Banging sounds have been reported to be heard as international search operations are underway and oxygen-time is running out. Shahzada Dawood, one of Pakistan's richest men, is on board, along with his 19-year-old son, Suleman, and British billionaire Hamish Harding
In an ironic ‘reality is stranger than fiction’ twist, an expensive expedition that took five people underwater in a submersible to see the remains of the Titanic at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, has gone missing.
On Wednesday morning (IST), the US Coast Guard reported on Twitter that a Canadian search aircraft has detected ‘underwater noises in the search area’ and has relocated its search to find the origin of the noises. “Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue”, the Twitter statement read.
