  • Authorities from the United States and Canada have expanded their search and rescue teams into deeper waters in a desperate race against time to find a missing submersible that was exploring the wreck of the Titanic. The submersible, which can only operate underwater for about 96 hours, disappeared while taking tourists on a $250,000 trip. It is not known what condition the submersible is in. British billionaire Hamish Harding is believed to be on board the vessel and has identified himself as one of the mission specialists. Harding, who is the chairman of an aviation consultancy and lives in Dubai, has a history of adventure. He has previously accompanied former astronaut Buzz Aldrin on a trip to the South Pole. Janneke Mikkelsen, a friend of Harding and fellow explorer, expressed her fear and anxiety for the safety of those on board. She emphasized the urgency of the situation and the diminishing opportunity to find the missing individuals alive. Harding had communicated with Mikkelsen before his dive to the Titanic, mentioning his anticipation for the perfect weather conditions. Mikkelsen admitted that she had not fully comprehended the potential dangers of this expedition, as Harding has been involved in other record-breaking adventures, including a world record for circumnavigating the Earth over the North and South Pole.
  • Subtitles section
  • American and Canadian authorities say they've expanded their search and rescue teams into deeper waters as they race against the clock to find the missing submersible that vanished while taking tourists on a $250,000 trip under the sea to the wreck of the Titanic.
  • And Reuters is learning more about the people aboard the vessel which authorities say can only operate for about 96 hours underwater.
  • Contact was lost on Sunday and it's not clear what condition the vessel is in.
  • So who is aboard?
  • Hamish Harding, a British billionaire, is believed to be aboard and said on social media that he was one of the mission specialists.
  • He lives in Dubai and is the chairman of an aviation consultancy.
  • He's an adventurer.
  • He once accompanied Buzz Aldrin, the former astronaut, on a trip to the South Pole when Aldrin became the oldest person ever to reach the Antarctic.
  • Janneke Mikkelsen is a friend of Harding and a fellow explorer.
  • I'm nervous.
  • I'm sick to my stomach with nerves.
  • I'm terrified.
  • I'm anxious.
  • I'm not sleeping at the moment.
  • I'm just hoping for good news.
  • Every single second, every single minute feels like hours.
  • And we're losing time and we're losing opportunity to find them alive.
  • I last spoke to Hamish right before his dive.
  • He casually just wrote that he's on his way to the Titanic and he's waiting for the perfect weather window.
  • And me, in an equally casual way, just answered, Godspeed, Hamish, and left it at that because he's always exploring.
  • And I didn't consider that this type of expedition would be as dangerous as it's turned out to be.
  • Four years ago, he was also aboard an aircraft that set a world record for fastest circumnavigation of the Earth over the North and South Pole.
  • One of the missing persons is reportedly Stockton Rush, the founder of a company called OceanGate, which ran the operation.
  • Reuters met Rush in 2017, where he talked about the company.
  • This is what he said at the time.
  • Five individuals can go on each dive.
