They also have to have the means to pay the $250,000 fee to take the trip. Pogue told USA TODAY that the people who pay to go down in the submersible are adventure-lovers. CBS correspondent David Pogue: 'This is adventure travel' Sunday, according to OceanGate Expeditions adviser David Concannon. The Titan had a 96-hour oxygen supply when it went to sea at about 6 a.m.

Frederick said rescue teams have searched 7,600 square miles of the Atlantic Ocean since Sunday without any results. The submersible has 'about 40 hours of breathable air left,' U.S. Your thrusters can go, your lights can go, you're still going to be safe,' Rush said. Rush told Pogue that important components of the submersible such as the pressure vessel were solidly engineered alongside NASA, Boeing and the University of Washington. Rush, CEO of the company that owns the submersible, argued against the description of the Titan as being 'MacGyvery' in the CBS report. Pogue said the vessel was the only five-person sub that could reach Titanic depths. In a tweet of the report, Pogue linked to video of himself describing the submarine as having as much room as a minivan. 'There were certain things that looked like cut corners.' some of the ballasts are old, rusty construction pipes,' Pogue told USA TODAY. You drive it with a PlayStation video controller. 'There were parts of it that seemed to me to be less sophisticated than I was guessing. His report also highlighted some of the 'jerry-rigged' parts helping the vessel operate. Pogue told USA TODAY on Tuesday afternoon that the Titan got 'lost' for a few hours and couldn't find the wreckage of the Titanic during one of the dives on that trip, but unlike the current situation, it never lost all communication with crews on the surface. Pogue's account has drawn attention not just because it's a rare first-hand look at the experience of being in a submersible, but because of the snags it hit along the way.

Pogue boarded submersible for a CBS report that aired in November alongside OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who is among the five missing passengers on the voyage to tour the wreckage of the Titanic. 'I was anticipating a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I got it,' CBS correspondent David Pogue told USA TODAY's '5 Things' podcast. A CBS reporter who last year rode the Titan submersible that vanished off the coast of Canada this week with five people inside told USA TODAY parts of the vessel seemed 'less sophisticated' and described the safety features meant to avoid a crisis like the one it's currently facing.
