On 18 June 2023, the submersible Titan operated by OceanGate went missing in international waters in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. The submersible was on a tourist expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic, with five people on board. Communication was lost with the submersible one hour and 45 minutes into its dive to the wreck site, and authorities were notified when it did not resurface at its scheduled time later that day. The craft's estimated four-day breathable air supply is expected to be exhausted on the morning of 22 June 2023. Concerns about the safety of the vehicle had previously been raised. Search and rescue efforts are being carried out by an international team led by the United States Coast Guard, United States Navy, Canadian Coast Guard and Canadian Armed Forces.
