Several unique factors play into the ongoing rescue efforts for the five-passenger submersible Titan. Here’s what we know
Unlike a submarine, which can sail in and out of ports on its own power, the 20-foot-long, 20,000-poundis a submersible, which means it’s dependent on a surface support ship that transports it to a site. It’s lowered about 30 feet, or below the surface wave action, on a tethered platform, and then uses ballast to drop down the remaining 12,500 feet. Four electric thrusters help the neutrally buoyantnavigate on the seafloor.
Any recovery of people would need to be done at the surface. So another possibility is that a non-crewed submersible, like anon the seafloor and bring it to the surface.are literally bolted into the vessel, which has no hatch or way to open from the inside.

Aerial search-and-rescue is patrolling the waters around the site, but they are looking for an object the size of a minivan across an expanse of ocean, and detection may be marred by weather conditions.
