The Titanic tourist submersible missing with five people aboard is a simple and small vessel with a carpeted floor instead of seatsand barely enough room inside for more than one person at a time to stretch out, according to previous passengers and promotional documents.
The Titan vessel, part of an OceanGate Expeditions tour, vanished Sunday during a mission to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
Rescuers have less than 40 hours left to find the submersible before its oxygen supply runs out, the U.S. Coast Guard said around midday Tuesday amid an ongoing search. The company’s specs for the vessel say it’s equipped with 96 hours of oxygen.
