Following a large-scale operation to locate the missing submersible, a haunting video has started circulating on social media.
The unsettling footage, which is now being used to give people a better look at what could have possibly happened to the underwater vessel, was created by the Spanish animation company MetaBallStudios.
In the 5-minute clip, audiences get to compare various, global landmarks including the Statue of Liberty (305 feet tall), the Eiffel Tower (984 feet), and the Burj Khalifa (2,719 feet) to the depths of different bodies of water, giving them a better visual insight into how deep the submersible could have gone.
Other measuring points in the video include a Typhoon-class submarine’s test depth which ranks at approximately 1,312 feet as well as the bottom of the Southern Ocean at 10,728 feet.
Toward the end, viewers are finally able to see where the Titanic wreckage lays at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean - the location where rescuers think the missing OceanGate sub may be trapped.
After failing to send a signal back to base on Sunday while on an expedition to see the infamous sunken ship, the underwater craft was deemed missing and a major search operation headed by the US Coast Guard and OceanGate, as well as various other rescue groups, began.
There are five passengers aboard the submersible which includes British businessman Hamish Harding, the vice chairman of the Pakistani energy manufacturing conglomerate Engro Corporation Shanzada Dawood, and his son Sulaiman, professional deep diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and the founder and CEO of OceanGate Stockton Rush.
The stakes are extremely high as it was also revealed yesterday (June 21) that there was only 20 hours' worth of oxygen left for those on board to use and with the numbers dwindling down every hour that goes by, rescuers are really working against the clock.
It has now been four days since the submersible was declared missing and there has still been no sign of it.
On Tuesday (June 20), Captain Jamie Frederick of the US Coast Guard released a statement to reporters stating that the search has covered a "combined 7,600 square miles."
"These search efforts have focused on both surface, with C-130 aircraft searching by sight and with radar, and subsurface, with P-3 aircraft we’re able to drop and monitor sonar buoys. To date, those search efforts have not yielded any results," he said at the press conference per CBS News.
The same day, it was also revealed that three US Air Force planes delivered "critical equipment and tools to Canada in what was described as the "last chance" to rescue the passengers on board the vessel.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, a man at the dock who claimed he would be part of the crew that delivered the cargo said: "This is the last kick at it. This is the last chance. There’s no other chance other than this ROV (underwater vehicle)," before adding: "I’m hoping for the best. I’m really, really hoping. It will be a tragedy for everyone if this is not found.
"A tragedy on top of a tragedy," he added.
