The OceanGate Expeditions vessel has been missing since Sunday

The world is hoping for a positive outcome to the recent news that a submarine intended to transport guests to visit the Titanic shipwreck 13000 feet under the surface of the ocean has lost communication. Mike Reiss, an experienced traveler who has taken such submarine trips three times, including a trip to see the Titanic, admitted that he was "not optimistic" about the outcome.

"There is a hope that it's at or near the surface. The phrase we keep hearing it, 'They’ve lost communication' and I have gotta say, I did three separate dives. I did one to the Titanic, two more off the coast of New York and every time they lost communication.

The vessel went missing on Sunday during the descent to the Titanic, which usually takes around two hours. However, communication was lost after one hour and 45 minutes into the voyage, and hasn’t been heard from since.

He added to CNN: "As we continue on with this search ... we've been working through the night with a broad group of partners to bring all capabilities to bear looking on both the surface and now expanding to a subsurface in the area." Marine scientist David Mearns, who is friends with Hamish Harding, told Radio 4: "This also happens to be my field, search and recovery, but when it’s involving with people you know personally, the impact of it is bigger.
