Search efforts continue for the five-person, 6.5-metre-long submersible that went missing on Sunday while on an expedition to see the wreckage of the Titanic.
As of Tuesday, the air search had covered roughly 13,000 square kilometres.

According to manufacturer OceanGate, the Titan can dive as deep as 4,000 metres, a depth which is unreachable for many — vehicles and creatures alike.
