Submersible exploring sunken Titanic vanishes
In this photo provided by US Navy, the Los Angeles-class fast attack submarine USS Oklahoma City (SSN 723) returns to US Naval Base in Guam, Aug. 19, 2021. The vessel that went missing Sunday, June 18, 2023, in the North Atlantic while exploring the Titanic is not a submarine, it’s a submersible.
A private submersible with wealthy patrons aboard has gone missing during a dive to see the Titanic’s remains. The US Coast Guard is searching hundreds of square miles as the sub has a limited amount of oxygen. And, nearly half of all men in Malaysia are smokers. Public health experts are now calling for an anti-tobacco policy that bans the sale of cigarettes to anyone born in 2007 onward. Also, before the war in Ukraine, rich and powerful Russians headed to London, Paris and Monaco to buy real estate. Now, they’re snapping up luxury villas and prime location real estate in the United Arab Emirates. Plus, Washington prepares for a visit with India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
