Rescuers are actively looking for a missing submersible with billionaires, but there has almost run out of oxygen

Rich people can afford a lot of things. Here, for example, tour to the TitanicIf you want. With decent money in your pocket, you can easily go down in a submarine to the legendary ship. OceanGate Epeditions is responsible for this, which has been organizing such events for several years.

The legendary Titanic sank 111 years ago, and interest in it does not fade to this day. Enterprising people have found a way to monetize this. And for several years now, OceanGate Epeditions has been giving people the opportunity to see with their own eyes what remains of the legendary ship.



However, this luxury is available only to the rich. After all, if you believe the data from the Internet, this pleasure is $ 250,000. What goes into that cost? This is an 8-day trip that you don’t have to prepare for.

First, you need to be instructed on safety on a submarine. Specialists conduct a tour and show what works and how, as well as provide passengers with food. Actually, that's it! Of course, when a person pays such crazy money, he hopes that all force majeure is calculated by the company in advance. But it's not that smooth.

Recently, another group of rich people went on a trip. It began in the early morning of June 18. After 1 hour and 45 minutes, the submarine disappeared from radar. As soon as this happened, the rescue service went in search of the missing ship.

The search and rescue operation covers 26 thousand square kilometers. However, in all these days the boat has never been seen. The search is complicated by the huge depth (about 3.8 thousand meters), and the wreckage of the Titanic, of which there is an incredible amount under water.



Instagram / @newsbitesbyai Only recently managed to record some underwater noises, like knocking. It may be passengers knocking inside the ship and shouting for help. Unfortunately, the search still does not yield results.

On the Internet already rumored that the disappearance of five rich people occurred for a reason. Someone thought it was profitable. Interestingly, the submarine is Rush Stockton, the founder of the company that organized the trip.



Together with him to explore the “Titanic” went Hamish Harding, a British millionaire who previously visited space. As well as Pakistani rich man Shahzad Dawood and his son. There are unconfirmed reports that Frenchman Paul-Henri Nargeolet is also on board. It was he who at one time became the first person in history who managed to lift the wreckage of the sunken Titanic to earth.

What happens next? How could such a ship have been lost? After all, for such money, you want to feel safe. It turned out that the boat was not ready to descend to such a depth. And in past sorties, the submersible was controlled by something similar to a regular joystick for video games. This was told by one of the tourists who survived previous swims to the Titanic.



Instagram / @actionaviationchairman It is obvious that the submersible Titan, on which the rich went to the ocean, was not ready for such trips. And as sad as it sounds, it is likely that tourists will not be found. This seems to be a great example of how big money doesn’t always guarantee security.

I wonder if the submarine will be found. And will the passengers be alive? Boldly share your thoughts in the comments!
