The five people onboard the tourist submarine that went missing on June 18 while exploring the Titanic shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean are likely “very uncomfortable” and in a “dire situation,” an expert has warned.

The 21-foot submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, was reported missing on Sunday about 435 miles (700 kilometers) south of St. John’s, Newfoundland, after it failed to return to the Polar Prince, the Canadian research ship from which it was launched, according to officials.
