Indonesian rescuers find wreckage of plane that had 11 people on board

Al Jazeera

Indonesian rescuers have recovered wreckage from a missing plane that is believed to have crashed with 11 people on board while approaching a mountainous region on Sulawesi island during cloudy conditions. The discovery on Sunday comes after the small plane - on its way from Yogyakarta on Indonesia's main island of Java to Makassar, the capital city of South Sulawesi province - vanished from radar on Saturday. Rescuers on the ground then retrieved larger debris consistent with the main fuselage and tail scattered on a steep northern slope, Anwar told a news conference. "The discovery of the aircraft's main sections significantly narrows the search zone and offers a crucial clue for tightening the search area," Anwar said. "Our joint search and rescue teams are now focusing on searching for the victims, especially those who might still be alive." The plane, a turboprop ATR 42-500, was operated by Indonesia Air Transport and was last tracked in the Leang-Leang area of Maros, a mountainous district of South Sulawesi province.

Watch Titanic's famous bow fall apart: Shocking footage reveals just how rapidly the great liner is deteriorating - with a 15ft section of railing lost to the seabed

Daily Mail - Science & tech

For more than 100 years, Titanic's famous bow has remained just as recognisable as it was before it sank beneath the waves. But shocking footage now shows that the iconic front rail of the great liner has collapsed onto the seafloor. Videos and photos captured by robotic submarines reveal just how fast the Titanic is deteriorating, as it lies 3,800 metres (12,500ft) beneath the surface. The expedition team who made the discovery now warn that it is only a matter of time before the entire ship collapses for good. Tomasina Ray, director of collections at RMS Titanic Inc, which led the expedition, said: 'People ask all the time: "How long is Titanic going to be there?"


Titanic is COLLAPSING: Shocking before and after photos reveal how a section of the bow has disintegrated - as experts warn the entire ship's demise is 'inevitable'

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Jack and Rose stood on Titanic's bow might be one of the most recognisable shots in movie history. But shocking new photos have revealed that this iconic structure has now crumbled into rust. Images captured by robotic submarines this summer found that 4.5m (14.7ft) of the ship's bow has collapsed onto the sea floor. The expedition team who made the discovery now warn that it is only a matter of time before the entire ship collapses for good.

Titan submersible recovery efforts continue with help of remotely operated vehicle

FOX News

Navy SEAL Jake Zweig responds to the intense search for the missing Titanic submarine on'Fox & Friends.' Efforts to recover the remains of the Titan submersible that suffered a catastrophic implosion near the Titanic wreckage are currently underway, and as of Sunday, had descended to the seafloor for a fourth dive. Last Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed that a debris field located about 1,600 feet from the wreckage of the Titanic was in fact that of the missing Titan submersible. The underwater vessel was carrying five men on board when it lost contact with its surface ship about an hour and 45 minutes after descending to the Titanic. South Wellfleet, Massachusetts-based Pelagic Research Services (PRS) was contacted by OceanGate, the company behind Titan, for use of its remotely operated vehicles, or "ROVs," to assist with the search. Pelagic Research Services continues to assist the Transportation Safety Board of Canada, U.S. Coast Guard, and U.S. National Transportation Safety Board with Titan recovery efforts near the Titanic wreckage.


Missing sub's rescue unlikely in frightening human drama, say experts: 'The math is not great'

FOX News

The U.S. Coast Guard said Tuesday afternoon that there around 40-41 hours of "breathable air" left on the OceanGate Titan submersible that disappeared en route to the Titanic wreckage in the North Atlantic. Deep-sea vehicle industry insiders say the combination of the enormous depth, the lack of communication and the rapidly dwindling window of opportunity make rescue of the five people aboard the OceanGate highly unlikely. The OceanGate was bringing its passengers to see the wreckage of the Titanic, about 12,500 below sea level, when it went missing on Sunday. The OceanGate has about 40 hours of oxygen remaining, the Coast Guard reported Tuesday afternoon, assuming the vehicle did not suffer an instant catastrophic explosion, as some experts have said they fear. "The math is not great," one career expert in autonomous underwater vehicles, more commonly known as drones, told Fox News Digital.

However, International Business Times could not independently verify the information.


Indonesia says 53 crew of lost sub are dead, wreckage found

Boston Herald

Indonesia's military on Sunday officially said all 53 crew members from a submarine that sank and broke apart last week are dead, and that search teams had located the vessel's wreckage on the ocean floor. Officials previously said the KRI Nanggala 402's oxygen supply would have run out early Saturday, three days after the vessel went missing off the resort island of Bali. "We received underwater pictures that are confirmed as parts of the submarine, including its rear vertical rudder, anchors, outer pressure body, embossed dive rudder and other ship parts," military chief Hadi Tjahjanto told reporters in Bali on Sunday. "With this authentic evidence, we can declare that KRI Nanggala 402 has sunk and all the crew members are dead," Tjahjanto said. An underwater robot equipped with cameras documented the lost submarine lying in at least three pieces on the ocean floor at a depth of 2,750 feet, said Adm. Yudo Margono, the navy's chief of staff.
