A submersible with five crew members disappeared while exploring the Titanic shipwreck. A former U.S. Coast Guardsman explains the difficulties of the rescue mission.
The commercial submersible that went missing carrying five passengers while touring the Titanic shipwreck presents a"challenging" and"dire" situation for rescuers, a former Coast Guardsman told Fox News.
"From what I understand, the vessels are not designed for long-range, multi-day excursions," said John Mixson, a retired U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant commander who was involved in long-range search and rescue missions."So it's going to be a very, very uncomfortable, dark experience with a lot of hope and prayers.""I would say it is extremely serious. It's a dire situation," he continued.
