A strange event has happened today, where the international media reports that a submarine which was sent to observe the wreckage of the Titanic, has disappeared near the place where the Titanic sank a long time ago.

OceanGate Expeditions, a company that organizes expeditions, confirmed that one of its submarines has gone missing.

It is not yet clear how many people were on board when it disappeared, or if there were any tourists on board. Small submarines occasionally pick up tourists and experts who pay to see the wreck of the Titanic.

However, Hamish Harding, a billionaire businessman and British explorer, is reported to be on board the submarine. 

It was Harding himself who posted on social media that the submarine, which is used for expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic, had departed from St John's, Newfoundland, Canada on Saturday. It arrived near the site of the sunken ship in the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday morning.

It remains unclear who else was on board the submarine, but according to the company that owns it, OceanGate, it is designed to hold 5 people.

Yes, according to the company, the submarine has resources to live, for the entire crew, up to 96 hours. The Boston Coast Guard, in a statement to the BBC, said that search and rescue operations are continuing.

Sunk in the Atlantic after hitting an iceberg in 1912, the Titanic lies about 3,800 meters below sea level, at the bottom of the ocean. It is located about 600 kilometers off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The company that owns the submarine offers 8-day packages to see the remains of the Titanic at a price of $250,000 per person.
