Missing Titanic tour sub has about 40 hours of oxygen left, US Coast Guard says

The Canadian military dropped sonar buoys to listen for any possible sounds from the Titan.

“There is still plenty of time to facilitate a rescue mission, there is equipment on board for survival in this event,” Butler said. “We’re all hoping and praying he comes back safe and sound.” Also on board were Pakistani nationals Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, according to a family statement sent to the AP. The Dawoods belong to one of Pakistan's most prominent families. Their eponymous firm invests across the country in agriculture, industries and the health sector.

The U.S. Coast Guard in Boston says everything is being done to locate and rescue five people onboard a missing submersible around 900 miles off the coast of Cape Cod.The expedition was OceanGate’s third annual voyage to chronicle the deterioration of Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank in 1912, killing all but about 700 of the roughly 2,200 passengers and crew. Since the wreckage’s discovery in 1985, it has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria.

CBS journalist David Pogue, who went on the trip last year, noted his vessel got turned around looking for the Titanic.
