A British billionaire is reportedly one of the crew members aboard the missing Titanic tourist submersible that spurred a Coast Guard search and rescue mission on Monday.
Billionaire Hamish Harding is one of the crew members aboard the Titan, a submersible that takes tourists to see the wreckage of the RMS Titanic. The vessel submerged Sunday morning and lost contact with the main ship about two hours later, the Coast Guard said.Rear Adm. John Mauger, U.S.
French submersible pilot Paul-Henry Nargolet and Stockton Rush, CEO and founder of OceanGate Expeditions, are also reportedly on board. The vessel is designed to surface should there be any technical problems and carry 96 hours of life support. Mauger said the Coast Guard search and rescue team estimates that the submersible has anywhere from 70 to 96 hours of oxygen remaining, but they are working to narrow down that time frame.
Mauger said in an earlier interview with Fox News's America Reports that he would not speculate on the damage sustained to the submersible, if any, that caused it to lose contact with its main ship.
