Breathable air projected to run out on board Titan at 12.08pm Irish time - but experts say predictions are imprecise
For some context, here’s a previous photo of what the inside of the submersible looks like. Described as about the size of a mini-van, with little room to stand and no chairs, the crew of five travelling in the craft would have to sit with their back to the cylindrical walls of the vessel
However, it would be a complex operation, even if rescuers knew the location of the Titan, as the window of time where its crew would still have oxygen supplies gets smaller and smaller.Deep-sea explorer Dr David Gallo believes it would take a “miracle” to rescue those trapped in Titan, but remains optimistic, PA reports.
Mr Rush was speaking to CBS Sunday Morning when he said his “biggest fear” was “things that will stop me from being able to get to the surface”. Even if Titan is located, a successful rescue would require remote-controlled vehicles capable of allowing operators on the surface a clear view of the submersible’s location, any obstacles that may be present and where to attach cables capable of lifting it thousands of metres through the water.
The couple were among the Titanic’s wealthiest passengers. Isidor and his brother co-owned a Macy’s department store. Survivors reported watching Isidor refuse a seat on a life raft, a scene that was recreated in the film dramatisation of the disaster.
