The last communication from OceanGate's vessel, The Titan, came in Sunday morning. Both the US and Canadian coast guard are deploying all efforts to locate the crew and passengers.
,"Over the night, we've flown multiple aircraft over the site, looking for any signs of surface of the submersible. The area that we search is roughly the size of Connecticut."Besides the region's great expanse, search efforts are also complicated by the depth at which the submersible may be located."This is a complex case and the coast guard doesn't have all the resources to be able to affect this kind of rescue," Rear Admiral John Mauger.
"Folks have been working around the clock to mobilize gear, to get it to the site, and to participate in the search for this submersible," he concluded.Rescuers are also using sonar to try to locate the sounds emitted by the sub, but it is not currently clear whether the vessel is equipped with noise devices used to alert listeners to their location.Oceangate released the following statement:"We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely.
