Missing Titanic submarine: Canadian underwater robot searches ocean floor as oxygen levels dwindle
Dik Barton, the first British man to dive to the Titanic wreck, speculates what could have happened to the Titan submersible missing in the North Atlantic. The U.S. Coast Guard announced Thursday that the Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic deployed a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) "that has reached the sea floor and began its search" for the missing OceanGate Titan submarine. It is the first time during the search that a vessel is combing the floor of the Atlantic Ocean for the missing vessel and its five passengers. Previous search efforts have involved the use of aircraft and sonar. "The French vessel L'Atalante is preparing their ROV to enter the water," the Coast Guard also said.

OceanGate Titan submarine operated by video game controller, CEO says
A tourist submersible taking passengers down to the Titanic wreck site has gone missing with a search currently underway. Former Navy submariner Bryan Clark joins'Fox & Friends' to discuss. The Titan submarine OceanGate has been charging tourists around $250,000 each to ride in is operated by an inexpensive video game controller, its CEO revealed in a video interview last year. Stockton Rush, during a segment aired by "CBS Sunday Morning," said "we run the whole thing with this game controller" while holding up what appears to be a modified Logitech F710 wireless gamepad. The device first debuted in 2011, according to the gaming website Dexerto, and a refurbished version of it currently retails for $30 on Amazon.
