From CNN's Jaqueline Rose
OceanGate Expeditions says it is “deeply grateful” for the “extensive assistance” it is receiving from multiple government agencies in search of a submersible visiting the wreck site of the Titanic. The company, which operates tours to the wreckage site, said in a Monday night statement that “for some time" it has been “unable to establish communications” with the submersible.“For some time, we have been unable to establish communications with one of our submersible exploration vehicles which is currently visiting the wreck site of the Titanic. 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 submersible began its two-hour descent to the wreck on Sunday morning. It lost contact with the Polar Prince, the support ship that transported the vessel to the site, 1 hour and 45 minutes into its descent, officials said.It’s still not clear what happened to the submersible, why it lost contact and how close to the Titanic it was when it went missing.
