A desperate search mission involving a remotely operated vehicle is underway to rescue a Titanic tourist submarine which has vanished 12,500ft below the Atlantic Ocean with around 70 hours of air left.The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre in Halifax, Nova Scotia, said the OceanGate Expeditions vessel carrying five passengers, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, went missing at around 9.13pm Sunday, about 435 miles (700 kilometres) south of St. John's, Newfoundland. If the crew can be found, this operation would be 11,000ft deeper than the deepest successful submarine rescue in history - when Roger Mallinson and Roger Chapman survived their submersible Pisces III getting trapped on the seabed at a depth of 1,575ft off Ireland in 1973.
