After hearing the banging noises from the black depths of the Atlantic hopes arose for the Titanic tourist submarine. In an optimistic way to save the five men on board a submersible robot, a rescue vessel that can go up to 20,000 ft for search. This French robot can dive up to 19,600 ft (6000 meters), called Victor 6000, which is remotely operated by 25 crewmen. The Titan was heading towards a depth of 3,810 meters(12,500 feet).
Victor 6000 can have a visual exploration and can spot the Titan. It cannot lift Titan but can hook it to a ship on the surface. It also can release the vessel if it is stuck somewhere. Remotely operated Vehicle (ROV) is already underway for the search. Thursday morning is the deadline for the Titan and Victor 6000 was expected to arrive by late Wednesday. They are going to continue operations at night.
Titanic tourist submarine went missing on Sunday evening after one and a half hours of its travel. The submarine was a tourist vessel to tour the Titanic ship, which sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg. The latest update is Victor6000 has halted its speed as it approaches two unmarked vessels.
