Boston: In April 1912, a submarine named ‘Titan’ sank in the Atlantic Ocean to find the Titanic. According to the US Coast Guard, the wreckage of the Titan submarine has been found near the Titanic itself. However, when the submarine set sail on its voyage across the North Atlantic, the crew only had oxygen for four days. Does this mean that after about 111 years, the submarine set out to find the Titanic ship had already reached the historic ship?
Five people were aboard the submarine
The US Coast Guard said on Thursday that one of its instruments found debris near the Titanic while searching for the missing submarine, according to media reports. Five people were aboard this submarine named ‘Titan’. The submarine, which went missing on Sunday to see the wreckage of the Titanic, crossed the crucial 96-hour deadline of oxygen availability in it on Thursday.
Submarine had oxygen only for four days
The report states that the crew only had oxygen for four days when the submarine set sail on its journey across the North Atlantic. If experts are to be believed, this is an estimate and if the people aboard the submarine had taken measures to save oxygen, then this time limit could have been increased. It is also not known whether they are alive or not since the submarine went missing on Sunday morning.
