Submersible lost contact during dive on Sunday off coast of Newfoundland
“We offer our most heartfelt thoughts and prayers for the five crew members, their families and their loved ones,” coast guard captain Jamie Frederick told reporters. “Our crews are working around the clock to ensure that we are doing everything possible to locate the Titan and the five crew members.
“To date those search efforts have not yielded any results,” Captain Frederick admitted. The vessel Deep Energy, a pipe-laying vessel, has arrived on the scene with underwater searching capability. It has rendezvoused with the Polar Prince and has begun a remotely operated vehicle dive to the last known position of the Titan and the approximate position of the Titanic wreck.
When asked if there is any possibility of rescuing the people on board, Captain Frederick responded: “All our efforts are focused on finding the sub. What I will tell you is that we have a group of our nation’s best experts in the unified command. If we get to that point, those experts will be looking at what the next course of action is.”
A statement from private plane firm Action Aviation, of which Mr Harding is chairman, said: “Both the Harding family and the team at Action Aviation are very grateful for all the kind messages of concern and support from our friends and colleagues.
