Bets being placed on odds of finding missing Titanic submersible; social media disgusted

The search and rescue operations for the five persons aboard the missing submersible Titan are still underway as time is running out before the oxygen supply in the vessel ends. The expedition to the Titanic wreckage, which was organised by Oceangate was started on Sunday at 8 a.m. (local time) and was scheduled to resurface seven hours later. It was reported to be equipped with 96 hours worth of emergency air. This implies that the emergency stock will probably exhaust by today. Now at the centre of this chaotic affair, it is also being alleged that bets have been placed on the odds of the missing vessel being found on time.

A tweet sharing the screenshot of the gambling has surfaced online, infuriating social media users to no end. Through this tweet, Dexerto–an entertainment media group, claims that the bets are being placed on the possibility of the missing Titan submersible will be found in time.  “There are currently gambling odds on whether the Titanic submarine will be found. Gambling on life is actually insane” read the viral tweet.

Submersible rescue mission

The rescuers looking for the vessel had previously heard reports of banging noises and distress signals around the disaster area. However, the likelihood of finding the vessel without an emitting signal appears to be very low.

The tourist vehicle lost contact with its mothership in less than two hours of its journey to the Titanic wreckage site. Five people boarded the submersible- billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who controlled the craft.
