Oxygen On Missing Titanic Sub To Run Out In Few Hours

Oxygen On Missing Titanic Sub To Run Out In Few Hours
Jun 22 2023 Share

The oxygen on the missing Titanic submersible is expected to run out in a matter of hours, rendering the hopes of the rescue mission to retrieve the 5 persons aboard very low. 

The Titan has caught the attention of international media after it lost contact and sunk near the Titanic wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean. 

Experts on the mission say that the breathable oxygen keeping the five people aboard will likely run out on Thursday morning to noon. 

According to EuroNews, even if the Titan is located in the North Atlantic, it could be nearly impossible to reach if it is stuck on the ocean floor. 

This would place it at roughly 12,500 near the infamous ship’s wreckage. The rescue efforts based off the underwater sounds have so far yielded negative results. 

Titan had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it set off at roughly 6 a.m. on Sunday, according to David Concannon, an adviser to OceanGate Expeditions, which oversaw the mission.

Jun 22 2023 Share

The government has announced that starting tomorrow, over 2,600 first-time buyers who purchased a property in 2022 will begin receiving the initial installment of a ten-year grant. Under the new scheme, which was a significant commitment made by the Labour Party during the previous year’s elections, buyers will receive €1,000 per year for a decade, totaling €10,000.

Social and Affordable Housing Minister Roderick Galdes disclosed this information on Wednesday, stating that the implementation of this measure will cost the government €26 million throughout the ten-year duration.

Galdes emphasised that the government has taken a comprehensive approach to investing in the housing sector, introducing various initiatives to enable more individuals to become homeowners.

Matthew Zerafa, the CEO of the Housing Authority, expressed his belief that this new scheme will shed light on the unique characteristics of these first-time buyers from Malta.
