The number of people on board OceanGate’s submersible was not immediately clear.
The deep sea exploring company OceanGate said Monday that it’s lost contact with one of its submersibles off Newfoundland.
The number of people on board was not immediately clear.
“We are exploring and mobilizing all options to bring the crew back safely. Our entire focus is on the crewmembers in the submersible and their families,” OceanGate said in a statement. “We are working toward the safe return of the crewmembers.”
OceanGate’s website says it has five-person submersibles “capable of reaching depths as deep as 4,000 meters.” The company offers paying customers the opportunity to explore the wreckage of the Titanic.
