The family of world explorer Hamish Harding confirmed on Facebook that he was among the five traveling in the missing submarine. Harding, a British businessman who previously paid for a space ride aboard the Blue Origin rocket last year, shared a photo of himself on Sunday signing a banner for OceanGate’s latest voyage to the shipwreck.Īlso onboard were Pakistani energy and tech mogul Shanzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman, 19 famed French diver and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush. It was later found that a top-secret team with the US Navy detected the implosion of the Titan submersible on Sunday, but did not stop search efforts due because the evidence was “not definitive” and a decision was made to “make every effort to save the lives on board.” Who was on board? The US Coast Guard said the small submarine began its journey underwater with five passengers Sunday morning, and the Canadian research vessel that it was working with lost contact with the crew about an hour and 45 minutes into the dive. Tourist submersible exploring Titanic wreckage disappears in Atlantic Ocean What we knowĪ submersible on a pricey tourist expedition to the Titanic shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean has vanished with likely only four days’ worth of oxygen. One of OceanGate’s previous Titanic expeditions had also gotten lost for several hours, because there is no GPS underwater, according to CBS News correspondent David Pogue, who was along for the harrowing ride. Teledyne MarineĪ frantic Coast Guard rescue operation was underway to locate the tiny vessel and save the marooned team - who had less than one day’s worth of oxygen as of Wednesday morning, officials said. “I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational,” OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, told Teledyne Marine. The founder and CEO - who navigates the missing Titan submersible with a cheap Amazon video game joystick - has been trapped on the tiny vessel since Sunday with four wealthy adventurers who paid $250,000 apiece for the tour. Rush’s Everett, Wash.-based company has made two previous trips to the 1912 wreckage of the “unsinkable” ship, which is 12,500 feet underwater at the bottom of the Atlantic some 370 miles off the coast of Canada. “So we’ve really tried to get, um, very intelligent, motivated, younger individuals involved because we’re doing things that are completely new.” The Titan sub was being controlled by a video game controller, which OceanGate officials promised “anyone can do.” OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush shows off the $30 video game controller he uses to navigate his lost submersible. “I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational and I’m not going to inspire a 16-year-old to go pursue marine technology, but a 25-year-old, uh, you know, who’s a sub pilot or a platform operator or one of our techs can be inspirational,” he continued. “When I started the business, one of the things you’ll find, there are other sub-operators out there, but they typically have, uh, gentlemen who are ex-military submariners, and they - you’ll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys,” Rush told Teledyne Marine in a newly resurfaced undated Zoom interview. Stockton Rush, 61, added that such expertise was unnecessary because “anybody can drive the sub” with a $30 video game controller. The OceanGate CEO who is trapped on a 22-foot submersible on an ill-fated voyage to see the Titanic wreck once explained how he didn’t hire “50-year-old white guys” with military experience to captain his vessels because they weren’t “inspirational.” OceanGate CEO told previous passengers to ‘sleep’ after sub battery went ‘kaput’
