A Bucks County man is waiting anxiously as the search for the Missing Titanic submersible continues. He has two friends on the vessel and says he's even taken the trek himself.Alfred "Fred" Hagen has several friends on the deep-sea vessel, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, which lost contact about an hour and 45 minutes after submerging on Sunday morning with a 96-hour oxygen supply.
"It's this iconic moment, and you've dreamt about it, and you've read about it, and suddenly it's there, and you've achieved this dream," said Hagen, who owns Hagen Construction in Bensalem. During that trip, he was with Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who is the Underwater Research director at RMS Titanic and is currently onboard the missing submersible."Just a charming, warm wonderful person who has done the most incredible things underwater," said Hagen. "He personally supervised or salvaged all of the more than 5,000 objects that were salvaged off the sea floor around the Titanic.
"The most likely possibility is they got stuck in a fishing net that was adrift or they got stuck in the wreckage of the Titanic and are unable to maneuver out of their predicament," said Hagen.
