Not that this is good new, but it does give some comfort, for a few days, anyway.
The Titan craft has enough oxygen to keep five crew members alive for 96 hours beyond the launch, which means it would run out sometime Thursday.

If I had a spare $250,000 sitting around, probably the last thing I would want to spend it on would be to go down 12,000 feet below the ocean's surface to see ship wreckage, no matter how famous it was. I'm happy enough just seeing the documentary footage.

Sadder and sadder. Apparently it hadn't been actully certified. Some interviewees think it may have imploded.

When the Titanic sank, Bruce Ismay, the Chairman of the White Star Line, was one of the passengers who survived. He was villified in both the US and England for cowardice for doing so. Many claimed he pulled rank to make sure he got off in time. He never really recovered mentally from the experience, even though he lived another 25 years.

From Twitter:

Wow. OceanGate, the company that owns the missing submersible, fired an employee a few years ago after he filed safety complaints against them. The employee specifically said the sub was not capable of descending to such extreme depths before he was fired.

Signs of life, but not yet found.

'Likely signs of life have been detected': Rescue plane hunting Titanic sub with five on board 'hears banging' every 30 minutes near wreck site, giving 'hope' the men are ALIVE - but redirected drones fail to find missing vessel

The banging could be anything, not necessarily "signs of life". Could be something banging against the 111-year-old Titanic wreckage. Could be generic ocean detritus smacking together.

It imploded. The Navy heard it but wasn't sure enough to announce that.

According to CBS News, the CEO of this company once stated in an interview the following:

"You know, there's a limit. At some point safety is just pure waste. I mean, if you just want to be safe, don't get out of bed...Don't get in your car. Don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk, and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules."
