By the end of the day, OceanGate reported it missing, and a search was launched by multiple countries and agencies to locate the Titan before it ran out of its four-day emergency oxygen supply.

It's a move that comes just two weeks after Titan was lost in the midst of a dive down to the wreckage of the Titanic, OceanGate's most high-profile offering. OceanGate, whose CEO Stockton Rush was on board the Titan submersible craft when it imploded during a dive in June, announced the news with a small banner on its website. OceanGate Expeditions, the company that became known in recent years for its high-priced private tours of the wreck of the Titanic, has suspended its operations following the catastrophic loss of a submersible that left five people dead last month.
