A submersible set out from Canada on Sunday around 6am, there were five people on board the submersible setting out to visit the wreckage of RMS Titanic, the tickets to board this submersible cost $250,000, and has been missing since 1 hour and 45 minutes after starting their descent into the atlantic ocean, where they lost all communications with the polar prince which is the ship that transports it to their launch site. At the start of this ordeal they had 90 hours of air left for all five people in board, but as the US coast guard is trying to get down to their location which is 3,800m down on the sea bed, and is at a pressure of 40MPa, which is 390 times greater than what it is on the surface. as far as humans and how much water pressure we can handle being underwater, that depth is about 60m.

Currently as the US coast guard is trying to fund their own submarine that can reach this depth to save the missing submersible and all on board, we know as of the last hour, that they currently have 40 hours of air left, assuming they got stuck that is, and they're tangled up in the wreckage which is possible. Hoping for the best that will the situation, and they're alive and awaiting rescue from the US coast guard, but worst case scenario their vessel was compromised and imploded on itself taking the lives of all on board, which we hope isn't the case as that’ll be a huge devastation for everyones family, friends, and loved ones. While the world watches and waits, and prays for a good outcome, all we can do is watch with bated breath, and hope the coast guard will be able to reach the victims before it's too late. As far as we're aware now the submersible went missing 435 mils south of St, Johns, Newfoundland, authorities as of now haven't been able to identify those on board.

We currently know this submersible is in a remote area which is difficult to get to, and the pressure or the water if the rescuers don't use the proper submarine, and equipment to reach those lost, can also be dangerous for them, this is a very dangerous and scary situation for all involved and we know that the US coast guard is doing everything they can in this difficult and dangerous rescue mission to rescue those on board, and keep themselves safe at this time, we don't have any new updates other than how much air they may have left assuming all on board are still alive.

As of a recent update they do have 40 hours of air left, and what happens after that we know, it's very grim and is very scary, hopefully all on board are rescued soon and I can come back and give you all a very positive update, and not have to deliver bad news to you all, I hope this will end well and the coast guard can find the vessel soon.

I will keep updating as I know more information, but as of now I'm just watching and reading, the same as you I'm sure, and now we wait, watch, pray, and see where this goes, what will happen, even in this grim terrifying situation, that we know how dire it is. So if you're the praying kind, I strongly urge you to pray for those on board, or if you don't pray, whatever you deem appropriate do that, it's hard, it's scary, we can only hope they're safe
