Searchers hunting for the missing Titan sub have heard a 'banging sound', sparking rescue hopes - but people onboard have only about 30 hours of oxygen left
A friend of Mr Harding revealed on Wednesday that he had pulled out of the Titanic sub tour over safety fears.
“Eventually I emailed them and said, ‘I’m no longer able to go on this thing’. I asked for a refund after being less than convinced.”Remotely operated vehicles have been deployed to dive to the sub's last known location. "It's 900 miles east of Cape Cod and 400 miles south of St John's. Logistically speaking it's hard to bring assets to bear, it takes time and coordination and we're dealing with a surface search and subsurface search and frankly that makes it an incredibly complex operation."
As a huge search operation was launched with rescuers scouring an area the size of Connecticut, Mr Dawood’s family said in a statement: “Our son Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman, had embarked on a journey to visit the remnants of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean. Contact has been lost with their submersible craft and there is limited information available.
A major search and rescue operation, which is being led by the US Coast Guard and involving military aircraft 900 miles east of Cape Cod, was continuing on Tuesday.
