The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate, has been missing since its launch off Newfoundland on June 16. The vessel descended to the Titanic’s remains about 370 miles off the Atlantic Coast and lost communications with its support team. With the Titan equipped to provide oxygen for only 96 hours, and five days elapsed since its launch, rescue efforts continue to locate its five passengers – OceanGate Expeditions chief executive officer Stockton Rush, U.K. billionaire Hamish Harding, French adventurer Paul Henry Nargeolet, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Sulaiman. Multi-millionaire Chris Brown told The Sun that he pulled out of the trip as he had concerns over safety once he discovered that the vessel used old scaffolding poles for the sub’s ballast, and its controls were based on computer game-style controllers. Brown asked for a refund and eventually cancelled his involvement with the trip.
