Search for missing Titanic sub like 'going into space'
14 Sept 01:52Key points summarised by AI
Rescuers face a "gargantuan task" searching for the missing Titanic submersible in extreme conditions, including pitch-black, freezing depths over two miles down, likened to "going into space."
Teams are in a critical race against time, with the five-person crew's oxygen supply projected to run out in under a day and a half.
The complex search spans a vast 7,600-square-mile area of the North Atlantic, requiring coordination from multiple agencies and specialized equipment like aircraft with radar and sonar, and remotely operated vehicles.
Locating the 21-foot Titan is compounded by the immense pressure at depth (400 times surface level) and the challenging, undulating seafloor, making detection incredibly difficult.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
Today 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
