hello and welcome to the programme. the us coastguard has launched a search and rescue operation, after a sub mersible used to take tourists to view the wreck of the titanic went missing in the atlantic ocean. the vessel with five people on board lost contact about one hour and 45 minutes into a dive to the wreck. the titanic, which sank in 1912, lies nearly 4,000 metres beneath the surface, around 600 kilometres off the coast of newfoundland in canada.from boston , our correspondent jessica parker reports. designed to plunge the depths of the ocean, this is the titan submersible, now missing in the north atlantic after contact with the vessel was lost. it sparked a frantic but complicated search. 0n the bottom, particularly very deep, it s going to be difficult to rescue it. none of the conventional submarine rescue methods, which are designed mainly for naval submarines, would be able to operate down at the depth of the titanic. even if it could get down there, the hatc
