According to reports from multiple media outlets, the Titan submarine that vanished Sunday morning with five people on board is expected to run out of oxygen at some point Thursday morning as rescue crews are still hoping to locate the missing vessel.
US Coast Guard (USCG) Captain Jamie Frederick said Wednesday they had not identified the source of underwater noises detected by sonar in the search for the missing submersible. “We don’t know what they are, to be frank with you,” Frederick said regarding the sounds that had raised hopes the five people onboard are still alive. “We have to remain optimistic and hopeful when you’re in a search and rescue case,” he told reporters.
From Fox News:
The Coast Guard said an area twice the size of Connecticut has been searched so far, 900 nautical miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts.
The cause of the sub’s disappearance remains unknown and more ships have been arriving throughout the week at the search site.
As of Wednesday afternoon, the Coast Guard was categorizing the international response as a search and rescue mission.
"There is an enormous complexity… due to the location being so far offshore"

“We are smack dab in the middle of search and rescue, and we’ll continue to put every available asset that we have in an effort to find the Titan and the crew members,” U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Jamie Frederick told reporters.
“I don’t know whether it’s operable or whether it’s sitting on the ocean floor or whether it’s in the sea column or whether it’s in the surface. You know, it’s all speculation,” Frederick later said. “And we’re just not in the business of speculation. We’re in the business of searching, and we’re putting everything we can with the data.”
