Time is ticking for the tourists in the missing underwater vessel that submerged in an effort to explore remains of the infamous Titanic shipwreck.
Sunday afternoon, the ‘OceanGate Titan’ hit the North Atlantic with five crew members aboard. This 13,123 foot submersible is roughly the size of a mini-van, and was designed with a 96-hour oxygen sustainment capability.

A search ensued by U.S. and Canadian rescue teams Sunday evening, after the vessel lost contact with its support ship roughly 1 hour and 45 minutes into the descent. Latest reports reveal that sonar picked up banging sounds in 30-minute intervals near the area the submarine was last detected, indicating “continued hope of survivors,” according to an internal US government memo.
