Quedan solo 40 horas de oxígeno al sumergible perdido cerca del Titanic
June 20, 2023 - Los rescatistas enfrentan una carrera contra el tiempo para hallar el sumergible perdido en la exploración del naufragio del Titanic mientras los cinco hombres a bordo están atrapados con ya solamente cerca de 40 horas de aire, dijo la Guardia Costera de EUA.
Speaking at a press conference to provide an update on the search and rescue operation, Captain Jamie Frederick from the First Coast Guard District said that there is about 40 hours of breathable air left on the sub, based on the initial reports of 96 hours left.
British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman are two of the five on board, along with British businessman and explorer Hamish Harding.
Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French Navy diver who has explored the Titanic before, is also on the vessel, as is Stockton Rush, chief executive of OceanGate – the firm behind the dive.
The wreckage of the Titanic that sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg lies at about 3,800 metres.
