Deep-sea craft carrying 5 people to Titanic wreckage reported missing, search underway
A deep-sea submersible, carrying five individuals on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage, vanished in the Atlantic Ocean after losing contact with its support vessel on Sunday.
A challenging international search and rescue operation is underway, spearheaded by the U.S. Coast Guard, racing against time due to the submersible's rapidly diminishing 96-hour oxygen supply.
Operated by OceanGate Expeditions, the craft was on a mission to document the Titanic's deterioration, with a pilot and four "mission specialists," including British adventurer Hamish Harding, aboard.
Experts emphasize the immense difficulties of a deep-sea rescue, citing the extreme depth, rugged seabed terrain, and limited specialized equipment capable of reaching the potential location.

Pilots had reported severe icing and turbulence shortly before the aircraft entered a rapid, uncontrolled descent, declaring an emergency before impact.
Federal agencies are investigating the "horrific tragedy," focusing on the reported icing and turbulence as key potential factors in the crash.
