Rescue teams race to find submarine missing near Titanic wreck

The US Coast Guard said late Monday that its search for a missing submersible vessel near the Titanic wreck had been completed for the day, but that a national guard unit and the company operating the five-passenger underwater mission would continue scouring the surface overnight.

But with no reported sightings of the vessel or communication signals throughout the day, the US Coast Guard's Boston-based unit said in a tweet around 9 p.m. that its flights for the day"have been completed." "It is a challenge to conduct a search in that remote area, but we are deploying all available assets to make sure that we can locate the craft and rescue the people on board," US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters in Boston, where he was overseeing the operation.

"Our entire focus is on the wellbeing of the crew and every step possible is being taken to bring the five crew members back safely," the statement added.Harding, a 58-year-old aviator, space tourist, and chairman of Dubai-based Action Aviation, had posted Sunday on Instagram that he was proud to join the OceanGate Expedition for their RMS TITANIC Mission as a mission specialist going down to the Titanic.

Without having studied the craft itself, Alistair Greig, professor of marine engineering at University College London, suggested two possible theories based on images of the vessel published by the press.
