The submarine Titan departed at 6am on Sunday with five passengers on board but suddenly went missing 12,000ft below sea level 435 miles south of St John's, Newfoundland, Canada

Understanding what went wrong with the Titan submersible will require careful collection of debris and an investigation that could take months, experts say.

At least 46 people successfully travelled on OceanGates submersible to the Titanic wreck site in 2021 and 2022, but questions about the vessels safety were raised by both a former company employee and former passengers.

Two tragedies unfolded at sea within days of one another, but the focus on the search for the Titan, a privately owned and operated submersible that ferried wealthy adventurers to the Titanic, eclipsed that of what could be the worst migrant boat disaster on record in the Mediterranean Sea.

Questions about resources used in search for adventurers and rescue of migrants

An expert has stated the five people in the missing sub are 'relying on nothing but luck' and that it might already be too late

As the clock runs out on the submersibles oxygen supply, what might have gone wrong to cause the vessels disappearance?

Search teams have deployed remote-controlled equipment to the floor of the North Atlantic in search of a five-man submersible crew whose oxygen supply has likely run out.

Rescuers are making a last-ditch effort to locate a submersible that went missing on its way to the Titanic wreckage site. Experts fear the oxygen on board may have already run out.

The US Coast Guard said they recovered debris from a missing submersible that was en route to the Titanic wreck, and that there are no survivors. The vessel is believed to have "imploded."
