Survived Submarine Crash 50 Years Ago: Terrifying Statement About Titanic’s Lost Exploration Vehicle

Worrying statements came from experts about the fate of 5 people on the submarine, who set out to investigate the remains of the Titanic luxury liner, which sank in the ocean in 1912.

The company OceanGate Expeditions announced that the vehicle named Titan, which landed on the submarine the previous day, was lost while descending towards the wreckage of the Titanic. British businessman Hamish Harding, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Pakistani-British businessman Shahzada Dawood and her 19-year-old son Suleman, and French sailor Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who have repeatedly explored the Titanic wreckage, are aboard the submarine.

YOU MAY BE CAUGHT ON THE WRAPPED TITANIC

Several logistical obstacles reportedly made the operation difficult as an international team raced against time to find the missing submarine thousands of kilometers away. Although it is claimed in official correspondence that there are voices in the vicinity of the Titanic wreck at certain intervals, these claims have yet to be confirmed.

The possibility of the submarine being trapped in the wreckage of the Titanic is also being evaluated.

Rescuers say they probably have enough oxygen until Thursday if the subs are still alive. “We are doing everything we can to locate the submarine,” said John Mauger of the rescue team. In the joint US-Canadian operation, teams are also trying to find a salvage vehicle that can go down to the depths of the submarine.

‘A VERY BAD SIGN’

While it was suggested that the submarine may not be able to move and surface due to mechanical failure, Roger Mallinson, the last survivor of the deepest sea rescue operation in history, expressed that he had very bad feelings about the fate of the missing submarine.

Roger Mallinson, who was rescued along with Roger Chapman off the coast of Ireland in 1973 after being stranded in a small submarine at a depth of about 500 meters for 84 hours, described as “a very bad sign” that no signal was received from the Ocean Gate Submarine. Speaking to Sky News, Mallinson, 85, said: “I don’t understand why they can’t send a signal somehow. I have this terrible feeling that something is wrong,” he said.

Fifty years ago, the Pisces III submarine that Mallinson survived was stranded in the depths of the sea when the engine compartment was damaged while laying a telephone cable on the ocean floor. Explaining that the sub was full of water, Mallinson said: “It was like it was going to explode. We were able to find white cloth that we could put in our mouths so we wouldn’t bite our tongues,” he said.

Mallinson said they waited for hours without speaking or moving so as not to waste oxygen, saying: “My friend and I were constantly watching each other. “I think that’s one of the most important things that keeps us alive,” he said.
