40 hours, or less than two days. That's all that would be left as oxygen inside the missing submersible not far from the wreck of the Titanic.

At a press briefing in Boston, in the northeast of the United States, Captain Jamie Frederick also acknowledged that the search of the US Coast Guard, with the help of Canada, had "yielded no result" for the moment to find the craft and its occupants, including a British and a Frenchman.

A pilot and four passengers were on board the missing ship Sunday and which can remain submerged for 96 hours, the U.S. Coast Guard said. However, authorities do not know if it is still underwater or if it has surfaced.
