The OceanGate organization has initiated a campaign to show the remains of the Titanic since the year 2021. They will take the remains of the Titanic to the deep sea in exchange for a sum of $2.5 million.

111 years ago, the Titanic sank in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. To witness the remains of the ship at that location, the double-hulled boat called Titan was sent with five passengers on board on Sunday. Just 1 hour and 45 minutes after the start of the journey, communication with the Titanic's "Mother Ship," Polar Prince, was severed. However, recent information reveals that after a brief interruption in communication, the news reached the US Coast Guard several moments later. Experts claim that if the news had reached the Coast Guard earlier, they could have launched a rescue operation more quickly. According to local news sources, at 9:45 AM on Sunday, communication with the Titanic was severed. However, the OceanGate organization, the owner of the double-hulled boat, did not send the news to the US Coast Guard but rather received it approximately 8 hours and 40 minutes later at 5:40 PM. Subsequently, the news was sent to the Canadian Coast Guard

According to local news sources, after the communication with the Titanic was severed, the Canadian Coast Guard was informed about the situation in the deep waters of the Atlantic Ocean at 9:13 PM on Sunday. Lieutenant David Market, serving as the commander of the US Navy's nuclear submarine, claims that the survival chances of the passengers on the double-hulled boat are only 1%. Since 2021, the OceanGate organization has launched a campaign to show the remains of the Titanic, taking them to the deep sea for a price of $250,000.

On Sunday, another five individuals were taken to the Canadian Arctic by the double-hulled boat to the depths of the Atlantic. However, just 1 hour and 45 minutes after the start of the journey, the double-hulled boat was reported missing. When the Canadian Coast Guard and the Canadian Armed Forces were informed, a search operation named TALLASHI began with warplanes and ships. According to the OceanGate organization, the Titanic, which is 21 feet long and weighs 10,432 kilograms, is capable of withstanding the immense pressure of the water at a depth of 13,000 feet in the ocean. However, experts have different opinions. Although the double-hulled boat has oxygen supplies for 96 hours, experts are concerned that at any moment, a fatal rupture could occur in one of the pipes. The risk of water entering the water sink of the double-hulled boat from the bottom is also not eliminated. As a result, there will be inconvenience in the circulation of air inside the double-hulled boat. Besides, the pressure created inside the Titanic will be nearly 400 times greater than the water in the ocean.

An official from the US Coast Guard stated, "We know everyone hopes that we will succeed in the rescue mission. But to tell the truth, we cannot send any other double-hulled boat that is over 2,000 feet for the rescue operation." According to the source, the US Coast Guard has been in contact with the Canadian Coast Guard and is monitoring the situation closely.
