No way I’d be getting in that thing.

Amazing 100 year's later and the Titanic is still claiming lives. People need to leave that grave yard alone.

Andrew Chang did an excellent job of breaking this down and explaining the details for us. He's an excellent reporter.

When you pay $250,000 for the titanic experience, but get the full titanic experience

The fact that not even one distress signal was sent, means that the event was catastrophic. At this point it has been almost 60 hours with no sign of the sub, which means it probably was destroyed by the event.

I was stuck in an elevator with 3 people for about 20 minutes. I had a panic attack!! I can't imagine the terror of being trapped in a tin can 4000ft under water.

I'm a diver. The Titanic is a Grave, not a tourist attraction. And now she has claimed 5 more. I am 99.9% sure that She imploded. God bless them. it was painless.

The pure terror of dying like this is just unfathomable.. The denial that it's happening and then the shock that you're just not going to be found. It's just so awful regardless of socio-economic status or age no one deserves this kind of misery.

Imagine the people trying to rescue these 5. Putting themselves in so much danger. God bless and prayers for all the families and crew for everyone’s safe return.

If you paid me $250,000 to go on this sub to see the Titanic I'd say, "No thanks." I got stuck in an elevator once for a half hour and that freaked me out.

The ceo saying “and it’s Bluetooth I can hand it to anybody” shows just how absolutely careless he is. I pray for a safe return for all 5 people on board but, this goes to show just how careless this man was with not only his life but the others as well. 😢

its crazy to go on such a trip with no safety measures taken

This only validates my claustrophobia combined with my fear of the dark and fear of the ocean. And also fear of being buried alive. It's like the melting pot of panic attack for me just hearing about this.

People need to be realistic, there is ZERO chance that that sub ever sees daylight again, and it most likely will never even be located.

I love how well this guy breaks everything down

Titanic is not a tourist destination. Leave it alone.

Whoever this dude is that’s speaking, bravo. You’re very easy to listen to and understand!

Andrew Chang does such an excellent job reporting these details. It’s like having a coffee w a well informed friend. Well done Mr. Chang.

The rescue crews, successful or not, are truly heroes and will be remembered as such forever.

This is the stuff that nightmares are made of. I am claustrophobic. I cannot imagine what kind of cojones it takes to get into that thing. Prayers for them and their families.

Ocean Gate : 250.000$ for a full Titanic experience.

I’m impressed with how well this journalist explains things. He knows what he’s doing. Talented, well-trained/quick study and lovely.

I've been following the story closely and there seem to be a number of possibilities but for me the number 1 issue is the Bluetooth controller. Would you ever drive your car with a bluetooth controller? Would you fly an airplane with one? why would you choose such unreliable method of controlling a vehicle in total darkness at such great depths?

It turns out it wasn’t very hard to find it at all. The question really is, why did they withhold the information that they already knew for so long?

I wonder if those people really understood that there's absolutely nothing that can help them if something goes wrong when they're at the bottom of the ocean.

Even though this subject is really upsetting, the host is doing a really good job of breaking this all down. So great work to the whole team and great job delivering the story Andrew Chang.

Good report Journo. Clear, comprehensive, relevant, articulate and well presented with objectivity and the required respect. Good channel.

If only all news reporters spoke as clearly and explained things like this situation, in easy layman's terms, it would be such a pleasant experience watching the news. Well done Mr. Chang, you're doing an excellent job. Hope you get a pay increase.

I’ve been a helicopter pilot all my life but I would never have dared get into this submersible. I pray for their safe recovery.

I love how well this guy's breaks everything down

I think maybe this is a sign we should just leave the titanic alone now and let those people rest in peace

This is like being buried alive. They’re essentially in a coffin, and they’re buried under water in a vast ocean. Like finding a needle in a million haystacks within 72 hours.. they were doomed from the start

100 years later the Titanic still taking lives.

Pretty sure that the rescuers are going through all the motions as if there is still hope but in the back of their minds they know the crew is doomed.

wow.. this gentleman did an exceptional Job breaking this down.

The minute safety offices said "There's no escape hatch, we secure the opening and lock you in with 17 bolts"...I they should have said "Nope".

I can’t even imagine being stuck in close quarters…under water… with no control for hours. It’s the most claustrophobic, helpless feeling. Hope they can find it in time…. 😢

Clear and crisp information. Thank you sir.

Thank you so much for this. It was very well done and caught me up to date - I’m living under a rock because I didn’t know of this.

Just imagine the father who brought his son along the trip, knowing for certain what awaits them..prayers to them all

This is a sad story. A week or two ago. We had the guy jump off the cruise ship and still haven't been found. The ocean is undefeated stay safe and blessed

It's really good to see great information about Titanic

This is a very good video and reporting. Thank you!

This must be absolutely terrifying for them. I hope they are found.

Don’t think I’d be paying $250,000 to go somewhere incredibly dangerous that is controlled only by a game controller 😳😳

Excellent job reporting on this story. It's a very measured and mature take.

Why they didn't put a tracker on it ? In case it gets lost,for 250k that is incredible to not have that on board

The whole world is trying to retrieve those 5 wealthy people who purposely risked their lives for the sake of adventure. On the other hand, a boat full of poor people (in search of a better life) was sunk and more than 400 people lost their lives, but no one reached to help them. what an Irony

The only one I feel bad for is the 19 year old. The other members were both old enough and experienced enough to fully understand the risks involved with the voyage but chose to go anyway. Teens are not able to analyse risks the same way adults are. Their brains are still developing. He probably figured the chances of stuff going wrong was slim to none and trusted his father's judgement.

Give this guy his own show he's awesome!

I wish all news major stories were laid out like this one. Excellent

It took over 70 years to find the massive titanic ship hundreds of feet long,,,,,,the sub is 20 feet long and the water over 2 miles deep. Realistically it might never be recovered. Thoughts and prayers to the families of the lost.

He's got a great voice for reporting

Just watching these reports has me so worked up! I cannot imagine the terror those trapped must feel right now, if they are still alive 😢can't stand the thought of it ! My God!

Wow…just saw this CBC. Andrew Chang is so good at what he does…and so handsome 😊. Thank you 🙏.

the fact that we can monitor a craft from earth to mars and beyond but not 13000 feet bellow the sea just blows my mind.....

I just watched a four part series from a travel vlogger named alanxmundo who went down to the Titanic in this very submersible. He had to make two attempts because the first one they had to cancel because it was too dangerous. He gives an excellent insight into all the preparations that the crews have to make. On his second attempt the following year his submersible actually lost communication with the ship for some minutes before it was restored. The driver of he submersible was actually beginning to start the process of aborting the descent and bringing it up to the surface when communications were restored and they were allowed to go on to the bottom. They actually spend a good hour touring the ship and seeing the "money shot" the prow etc before returning to the surface. In the end he makes some interesting comments about the company and the experience as a whole, and visits the cemetery in Halifax where hundreds of Titanic's victims are buried. I recommend you watch his videos about his excursion on the Titan, this same submersible that went missing here, if you're interested inlearning more about it. Start with Part 1 but if you just want to watch the episode where he reaches the Titanic you can skip to Part 4. Only issue is that it's in Spanish. Not sure if it's closed captioned in English . . . Part 1 title is "Mi expedición al TITANIC parte 1/4 | Alan por el mundo"

Just wanted to say… great video! 👏🏼

Excellent to explain the situation and missing of titanic

"Court documents reveal a former OceanGate employee had several safety complaints over the tourist submersible-and then he was fired." ... "the viewport at the forward of the submersible was only built to a certified pressure of 1,300 meters, although OceanGate intended to take passengers down to depths of 4,000 meters. " 🤔

You couldn't have paid me 250k to get in that thing

Can someone tell me why it is not required to fit an autonomous acoustic emitter that each minute transmits a ping, and the status of the vehicle is modulated into the ping? Self contained, battery powered, one ping for good, two for bad, three for terrible. How hard is that?

Great report. Thank you.

I wonder how the CEO onboard explained this situation to the passengers… must’ve been horrible when they realized what was happening, I sadly think it’s a recovery mission at this point.

"Rather than address Lochridge’s concerns or undergo corrective action to rectify and ensure the safety of the experimental Titan, or utilize a standard classification agency to inspect the Titan, OceanGate did the exact opposite - they immediately fired Lochridge," the counterclaim states. "OceanGate gave Lochridge approximately 10 minutes to clear out his desk and exit the premises."

If you guys want to experience what these people are going through here is what you do. Turn your AC down on low, lock yourself in the bathroom, cut the lights off and run some water, and scream, I’m a billionaire let me out! You will feel the same anxiety, it’s amazing.

Excellent informative video

This is nuts. A bunch of billionaires lost at sea never to be found again. Its going to be a movie for sure

I have so many questions but the main ones are, why did they design it so that it can be used with a game controller? Did they even think on a backup or some sort of investment into how to retrieve or communicate with a sub in the case of emergency? I've read that they have done 200+ dives so I guess this could also be that they got unlucky. It's so sad and scary! 😢

These poor people and their worrying families😢…i hope if they’re still down there they’re found I can’t imagine being stuck down there for days on end…😖

I hope the sub will be found eventually, but I think the chances are extremely low. You have to ask yourself always 'what if' if you do potentially dangerous things. Always have backup for everything, otherwise stay clear of it. Have a pinger mounted outside the hull which operates for at least 30 days. Have an escape plan. Have alternative means of contacting any vessels in case of emergencies. If not, it is like playing Russian Roulette with your life. Sorry for all the pain and sorrow the relatives and loved ones are enduring. Let's hope for a miracle.

Obviously something horribly went wrong if they didn't even deploy the emergency signal and floaties or whatever mechanism to come to the surface.

Looks so good!!!

Rest in peace everyone involved. Can't believe they didn't have a tracking system, some sort of cord attached to pull them up or a rescue team ready for the kind of money they paid.

It’s really quite amazing that they allowed this submersible to even go down. All reports I’ve heard is that it was a make shift piece of crap, and has a damn game controller as the control system. I always imagined intricate panels and pulley systems. But they’re literally using an Xbox controller.

I can imagine that the remote controller in the hands of someone inexperienced could potentially be catastrophic.

Crazy how the company couldn’t figure out away to get some kind of gps device to work on the ship for situations like this. Praying they find them in time

How is there not a pinpoint gps tracker on this thing?

At this point I have read and watched so much media about this sad, scary story. CBS’s Andrew Chang’s reporting is the clearest by far, I’m an instant fan. My heart goes out to those on board. 🙏💛

It freaks me out a lot that a game controller was controlling this whole submarine. That's just waiting for an accident to happen. but do hope these people are found, alive. and they can pull this sub back up safely

My Condolences to the families 😢

Prayers to all the victims 🙏

TERRIBLE! This must be absolutely terrifying for them. I hope they are found.

Finding the vessel might be the "easiest" part. Retrieving it if found in time to save the passengers is nigh on impossible because there are only a handful of submersibles capable of operating at these depths.

Very informative video

He deserves his views he didn’t just jump on the wave this was informative

It's crazy that the company operating this wasn't required to have 2 submarines so they could rescue one!!

They’re gone. Unless they find them bobbing on the surface, there must have been a seal that blew or something. Even if they totally lost power, they could manually drop the ballast and float up.

Very interesting and fascinating to watch. But it was interesting to see everything for yourself.

They got the real titanic experience lol

This is giving me chills. I hope they’re okay this is insane. all these bad things just keep happening..

Imagine being a 19 year old kid, probably just finished highschool, and your Dad/Mom tell you that we are all going on a Titanic Expedition. They dont mention how much is cost, only that you are coming along and it will be a monumental experience. You board the sub and are greeted by friendly men. You are excited and nervous at the same time, but with all the men on board and the mothersub, you push back the doubts you have about surrendering your ability to save yourself if the worst case scenario occurs. The sub gets bolted by the outside with 17 total bolts. Its impossible to back out now. You need to be grateful that your parents arranged for you to come and this is one of those "Once in a lifetime" type of experience. You are cleared for descent...

50 years ago another submersible went missing on its way to the titanic. They were thankfully rescued with about 12 minutes of oxygen remaining.

Bro got the full titanic experience, no extra charge

The most serious and fact-bound reporting on this incident so far 👍🏼 Very different from that over-emotional "omg, how do they feel right now" speculative reporting by US channels. Appreciate it 👍🏼

To trust and pay someone to take you into this situation is beyond me. Being able to pay for this may be the curse

Well explained!

There should have been a tether to the surface vessel, either to supply oxygen and communications or to retrieve it in an emergency

So no one thought an independent, separately powered tracking device should be on these vessels?

It’s even worse to think that even if they made it to the surface, they could still run out of air, with no hatch and no external means to unbolt the air-tight compartment (apparently.) Hoping for the best still.
