The five crew members aboard the Titan, the company’s submarine OceanGate who disappeared in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday the 19th, must face some challenges in their search for survival, such as breathing as little as possible. That’s what diver Joe MacInnis says.
A doctor by training, MacInnis made two trips to the wreck of the Titanic, a ship that sank in April 1912 and that inspired the production of the homonymous film that received 11 statuettes from the Oscar. To CNN North America, he spoke about the situation of those who are now on board the underwater vehicle.

“It’s cold, it’s dark, so they’re going to save energy,” said the expert. “By resting, breathing as little as possible and trying to stay calm. That’s the most important thing,” continued the diver. At the beginning of the night of this Wednesday, the 21st, the count is that there are less than 24 hours of oxygen not submarine.

According to MacInnis, there are three risks in situations like these:
fire; hull failure; and tangled (i.e. getting stuck in the wreckage of the Titanic).
“These are the things that all people who go into the deep ocean seriously worry about,” confided the diver. “We are all caught up in this whirlwind of emotions, from sadness to hope, fear and uncertainty,” MacInnis finally declared.
