Finding the Titanic-bound submarine – what we know

Published

on

Hundreds of search teams have swarmed an area over 1,400 km2 in search of the missing submarine, which was taking passengers to see the Titanic wreck.

Ships and planes from the United States and Canada are searching for a submarine that went missing off the coast of southeastern Canada while taking tourists to see Titanic wreckage.

A boat on the surface – the Polar Prince – lost contact with the submarine, the Titan, about one hour and 45 minutes after it began diving toward the Titanic wreckage.

Does the submarine have any passengers?

A pilot and four passengers were on board, and the vessel could be submerged for 96 hours, but it was unclear whether it was still underwater or had surfaced.

One of the passengers is British billionaire Hamish Harding, according to a relative’s post on social media.

Harding’s stepson asked for “thoughts and prayers” on Facebook after Mr Harding went missing on submarine.

A few days later, the stepson removed the post, citing respect for the privacy of the family.

Earlier this week, Mr Harding posted that he would be aboard the submarine on Facebook.

He has not posted since then.

In Harding’s post, he said the expedition left on Friday, and the first dive was scheduled for Sunday.

Harding holds three Guinness World Records: longest duration at full ocean depth for a crewed vessel, longest distance traversed at full ocean depth for a crewed vessel and fastest circumnavigation via both poles for an aeroplane.

In March 2021, Harding and ocean explorer Victor Vescovo performed two of these feats in a two-person deep-submergence vehicle in the Mariana Trench – the deepest point in the ocean.

He traveled to space last June with fellow billionaire Bill Gates

In Short:
– Trump gives Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed Gaza peace plan, warning of consequences.
– Hamas calls the plan biased and insists on a complete Israeli withdrawal before considering any agreement.
U.S. President Donald Trump has given Hamas three to four days to accept a U.S.-backed peace plan for Gaza, warning of severe consequences if they reject it.The plan, shared by mediators Qatar and Egypt, emerged after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu endorsed it during a visit to the White House. Hamas, which was not part of the talks, is expected to review the proposal that calls for disarmament, a previously rejected demand.

Trump stated that support for the plan came from both Israeli and Arab leaders, and he emphasised the need for Hamas to respond promptly. The proposal includes a ceasefire, hostage exchanges, an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, and disarmament of Hamas, along with a transitional government.

A Hamas source described the plan as biased towards Israel and containing unacceptable conditions.

The group maintains that a complete Israeli withdrawal is a prerequisite for their agreement to any deal, while they are unwilling to disarm.

Pressure Mounts

Hamas faces significant pressure as foreign ministers from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, Qatar, and Egypt have supported the initiative. Turkey’s intelligence head is also set to join discussions in Doha, marking a new level of mediation.

Despite expressing initial support, Netanyahu is cautious about the plan’s implications for Palestinian statehood and faces pressure from his coalition. Public sentiment in Gaza reflects a desire for peace, albeit with scepticism about the sincerity of both Trump and Netanyahu’s commitments.
