This company was just featured on the CBS Sunday Morning show recently. They do tourist expeditions, 250k per person to view the Titanic wreck underwater. This submersible went down Sunday morning, off the coast of Newfoundland/Cape Cod area, with 5 people aboard.

They have oxygen that will last about 96 hours.

It’s going to take some coordination between government agencies like Coast Guard and US Navy and private firms that may have the capability to retrieve this vessel.

I just feel bad for the family of the five missing people. I also feel bad for the people, who knew what risk the exploration entailed, but still, it would be like a nightmare to be down there, knowing time is limited, becoming frantic and then running out of air.
