Rescuers descended on the North Atlantic, desperately searching for a submersible vessel that was headed to the wreck of the Titanic but is now missing with five crew onboard and less than two days of oxygen remaining.
The US Coast Guard and the Canadian Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, were on the scene, about 900 nautical miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts. France dispatched a research vessel equipped with an underwater robot that can reach as deep as 4,000 meters (13,123 feet), enough to reach the site of sunken passenger ship.
