Race against time to find missing submarine before crew runs out of air
William Langley
With just hours to spare until the oxygen runs out aboard a missing submarine, Indonesia's navy on Friday dispatched two ships and several helicopters to scour the area where a strongly magnetic item was located underwater.
The United States was assisting in the increasingly desperate search for the vessel, which dropped off the map on Wednesday with 53 crew.
If the submarine was still intact, officials said it would have enough oxygen to last until just 3 p.m. ET on Friday.
