Live reporting by Olive Enokido-Lineham and Katie WilliamsAn oceanographer has described the hours-long wait to report Titan was missing as"marginally long", as questions are raised about the response.
While we don't know the exact timings of when Polar Prince started searching for Titan, here's what we do knowOne hour and 45 minutes later at 9.45 ET the Polar Prince loses communication with the subTitan was scheduled to return to the surface at 3pm ET Mr Boxall added:"It's not like picking up the phone and ringing for an ambulance or for the police, this is a major undertaking.
Mr Nargeolet - known as 'PH' - was a long-term employee of the RMS Titanic, Inc., the company that owns the salvage rights to the shipwreck. Mr Harding had a daring spirit, Kathleen said, and the fact that he wanted to visit the wreck of the Titanic would have been part of his character, she said."He's a great adventurer, going up as high as he can get to, to space even, where he did go for 10 minutes last year, with other people, not the only person. So, to me it wasn't too much of a surprise. There he is down by the Titanic, which is, I suppose, one of the most famous ships in the world.
Speaking to CNN, John Paschall said there's"so many things" the 77-year-old French sub pilot wanted to uncover about the Titanic, adding that he will"forever be connected" with it. He said he was fortunate to have Mr Nargeolet as a stepfather and said him and his mother once drove 16 hours overnight from Chicago to New York to watch him graduate.
Asked whether she would have gone down to the wreck in Titan, she replied:"No, I wouldn't have gone down. But what people can do is do their research, make sure the vessels they choose are certified, ask if there are any impending lawsuits, make sure that anything you sign is left with loved ones. CBS reporter David Pogue, who made the Titanic trip with the firm last year, said the waiver he signed mentioned death three times on the first page.
On the other hand, OceanGate could argue that the waivers made clear the dangers involved in the deep-sea trek. Engro said the pair were"each other's greatest supporters and cherished a shared passion for adventure and exploration of all the world had to offer them".
