ALBAWABA - Titanic-tour submarine with five people on board has run out of oxygen supply, according to Coast Guard on Thursday. 

Despite that the oxygen supply has likely run out, the Coast Guard confirmed that they have not lost hope in searching for the Titanic submarine and are focusing on the 'rescue' operation.

Among the four people on the sub-board are "British explorer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son. Also the CEO of the submersible company Stockton Rush and French explorer Paul-Henry Nargeolet."

According to sources, the crew of the Titan submersible went missing after contact with its surface vessel - the Polar Prince - was cut off an hour and 45 minutes after the dive on Sunday.

Five people on board went missing while on a trip for a tourist trip to watch the Titanic wreck. The eight-day journey costs about $250,000 for each person.
