A timeline of the missing Titanic tourist submersible

While the search for the missing submersible remains ongoing, here's what we know about the situation and how it unfolded.

Search and rescue crews are in a dire race against time to find a submersible carrying five people that vanished while on a tour of the underwater wreckage of the Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

While search efforts remain ongoing, here's what we know about the situation and how it unfolded.

Sunday, June 18

The 21-foot deep-sea vessel, named Titan, submerged at 8 a.m. ET with five people on board and a 96-hour oxygen supply. About an hour and 45 minutes later, the sealed craft lost contact with its operator, OceanGate Expeditions.

At 5:40 p.m. ET, the U.S. Coast Guard received a report of an overdue submersible. The Titan was supposed to resurface at 3 p.m. ET.

The U.S. Coast Guard in coordination with the Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Armed Forces conducted a surface search for the missing submersible using various aircraft, including one with underwater sonar capability.

As of 7 a.m. ET, crews in multiple aircraft had flown over an area of the Atlantic Ocean "roughly about the size of Connecticut" while "looking for any signs of surfacing," Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, told ABC News.

Bahamian research vessel Deep Energy, which specializes in pipe-laying and has remotely operated vehicle capabilities, arrived at 7 a.m. ET to help with the search.

A source familiar confirmed to ABC News that there were reports of "banging" that were picked up by sonar in the search area sometime in the morning, but nothing has yet been found.

At 4 p.m. ET, a crew from the New York Air National Guard arrived on scene to help with the search.

Wednesday, June 21

At 12:18 a.m. ET, the U.S. Coast Guard announced via Twitter that a Canadian aircraft with sonar capabilities had "detected underwater noises in the search area." Remotely operated vehicle operations (ROV) were then relocated "in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises," according to the U.S. Coast Guard.

"Those ROV searches have yielded negative results but continue," the U.S. Coast Guard tweeted.

Revealed: What VAR told referee Michael Oliver to deny Liverpool penalty

Image
Jeremy Doku’s challenge on Alexis Mac Allister was not deemed a high boot by VAR official Stuart Attwell, who denied Liverpool a late penalty vs. Man City. Doku’s studs collided with Mac Allister chest in the penalty area in the 98th minute of Sunday’s clash between Liverpool and Man City. It came in a battle for a bouncing ball, with footage showing Mac Allister touched it first before the Man City substitute’s attempted clearance made contact. The expectation was that VAR would overrule referee Michael Oliver, who waved away initial appeals for a late penalty, but that quickly unravelled. Within 20 seconds, Oliver told players that the decision had been ratified by VAR and that play would continue, with the two sides level at 1-1 when the final whistle blew. Were Liverpool unlucky to not be awarded a penalty ? ? pic.twitter.com/gWpYOfzuNX — Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) March 10, 2024 According to Sky Sports commentator Pet er Dr...

The Black history knowledge gap is widening – and GOP politicians are making it worse

On the day of the Super Bowl, Matt Gaetz, a Republican member of Congress from Florida, publicly announced that he would not watch one of the most popular sporting events in America. The reason for his boycott? “They’re desecrating America’s national anthem by playing something called the ‘Black national anthem,’” Gaetz explained. The song he criticized is “Lift Every Voice and Sing,” which was written by James Weldon Johnson and his brother Rosamond Johnson in 1903. For more than a century, this hymn has celebrated the faith, persistence and hope of Black Americans. “Lift Every Voice and Sing” was sung at the Super Bowl by Andra Day, after Reba McEntire sang the national anthem. Whether or not Gaetz’s racist antic was the result of ignorance about the song’s legacy, it is clear that there is a knowledge gap between Black and white students on our nation’s racial history. This gap makes it vital to teach high school and college students more African American hi...
