Search launched for missing Titanic tourist submersible
Fox News’ Alexis McAdams reports on operations to locate the missing submersible off the coast of Newfoundland.
A rescue mission is underway after a vessel used to take tourists to see the underwater wreck of the Titanic went missing in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed to Fox News Digital that they were currently searching for a lost Titan submersible. Tourists can charter the small craft for visits to the infamous ship through OceanGate Expeditions, which recently announced new mission crews for a North Atlantic trip on social media.
The Coast Guard says there are five people on board, consisting of one crew member and 4 “mission specialists.” They are currently conducting an air search for the vehicle, as it is designed to surface automatically if there are technical issues.
