CBS journalist David Pogue says it will be challenging for rescuers to find the vessel in time.
Further complicating the recovery mission is the fact that GPS does not work underwater, nor does radio - meaning there is currently "no way" to communicate with the vessel.
He described being initially hesitant about going aboard the sub at all because some of the components appeared "off the shelf, sort of improvised". Pogue said he had been reassured by Titan's inventor and OceanGate's CEO, Stockton Rush, that the carbon-fibre main capsule had been co-designed with Nasa and the University of Washington and was "rock solid"., OceanGate said its "entire focus [was] on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families".
