A massive search and rescue operation is underway, but the possibility of finding the people is extremely poor as the experts believe that there is just one percent possibility.


The submarine was built with 96-hour emergency capability, and it went missing one hour 45 minutes after the dive Sunday. So, the oxygen in the submarine may run out Thursday 11 AM. It means the submarine must be found and the people be rescued before that.

It is apprehended that the submarine is caught up in the wreckage of the Titanic and it will be extremely difficult to salvage it.

He described his experience in detail and said that ‘the trip was very comfortable, very relaxing’, it was like ‘dropping like a stone and coming up like a cork.’
Slamming Reiss, the viewers said that he is not sensitive about the plight of the persons who are in the submarine, rather he is using this opportunity to tell everyone about a great experience that he had.

Mike Reiss also said that the people onboard the submarine knew it and they have signed a declaration that they might die on the trip. He said that when he went on the trip he signed a waiver, and on page one of it was written thrice that he may die.
