Two new vessels arrived this morning in a race against time to locate a missing tourist submersible as rescuers feared the oxygen supply on the craft may be entering its final hours. The search for Titan, which went missing on Sunday while on a dive to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, has concentrated on an area where Canadian aircraft detected "underwater noises" the last two days. Coast Guard officials estimated the five passengers could run out of air just before 7:10 a.m. ET this morning, but an expert told NBC News it's impossible to know exactly how much oxygen is left on the sub. Here's the latest. |

As the hunt for the Titan submersible enters its fourth day, NBC News has a look at how the five passengers on board came together to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. Stockton Rush, the CEO of the OceanGate, which runs the expeditions, was joined by four other men united in their shared passion for adventure, and the financial resources to chase after it. Each traveler paid up to $250,000 for the opportunity to survey the Titanic wreckage on a submersible steered by a video game controller, and they are now bound together in what could be a fatal tragedy. Rush is on the Titan along with British tycoon Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and French mariner and Titanic expert Paul Henry Nargeolet.

Cara Sapida was stretching at the gym in 2020 when she found a lump on the edge of her left breast. Sapida, 41, a reporter at NBC affiliate WPXI-TV of Pittsburgh, said her doctor wasn't overly concerned at first, but sent her for an ultrasound to be safe. "The ultrasound was obviously suspicious," Sapida told TODAY.com. "They did the biopsy that day." She was diagnosed with stage 2 triple negative breast cancer, one of the most aggressive and fast-growing forms. Sapida underwent an immunotherapy drug trial lasting 12 weeks alongside chemotherapy, before completing four more drug treatments and a double mastectomy. Read more about Sapida's cancer journey and the brave way she shared it with her viewers. |

A little pick-me-up before you go. |
No British accent is safe when toddlers from England are binge-watching Ms. Rachel. British parents are worried their kids might start asking to go on vacation instead of holiday and ordering fries instead of chips after hours of listening to the American YouTube sensation (above, right). Kelly Convey, a mom in the United Kingdom, posted a TikTok video of her 1-year-old daughter speaking in an American accent after watching Ms. Rachel's educational "Songs for Littles." For years, some American parents listened to their own children adopt British accents thanks to endless episodes of Peppa Pig. But now, Ms. Rachel has flipped the script. "My daughter's nursery teacher called me and asked which part of America my baby was from ... She's British," one TikTok commenter wrote. |
