The submersible carries five people and can go down 13,210 feet. This was its third trip.

 

It actually went missing last night but reporting is just starting now.

I know rescue missions are underway. This seems ominous. I hope they are found safe soon.

OMG  my claustrophobia just kicked in. I can imagine the panicky response of those onboard. I hope and pray it is just a mechanical or communications failure and all will be safe.

I would never have been able to go underwater. I hope all is well.

OceanGate Expeditions, the company that runs this expedition made their website inaccessible. I just tried to check them out but it's down.

 

This sure is an extremely dangerous way to vacation. 

 

There has never been a successful rescue at that depth.

I hope the rescue mission is successful.  I cannot imagine the amount of panic and claustrophobia the people are experiencing.
