As of Tuesday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard says the total search area completed was nearly 26,000 square kilometres
The search, in an area about 700 kilometres south of St. John’s, N.L., is a race against time because the 6.4-metre vessel had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it submerged on Sunday morning, according to an adviser for owner OceanGate Expeditions.
As of Tuesday morning, the U.S. Coast Guard said the total search area completed was nearly 26,000 square kilometres.Joyce Murray, minister of fisheries and oceans, told reporters in Ottawa that Canada’s coast guard was doing everything it could to support the U.S.-led search. The search is being conducted in the Grand Banks and searchers were facing relatively favourable weather conditions said David Neil, a meteorologist with Environment Canada in Gander, N.L.
Those on board the submersible have yet to be formally identified by authorities, though some of the names have been confirmed.
