Wendy Rush has been an undersea explorer with her husband three times before on the Titanic sighting.

In 1912, the historic ship Titanic sank due to an iceberg while leaving Southampton, England, for New York, USA with 2000 passengers. One and a half thousand passengers died tragically. The ship was found in 1985. Since then, interest in it is worldwide.
Until now tourists visit the wreckage of the ship under the sea using submersibles. Oceangate Expeditions offers an eight-day package to see the wreck of the Titanic for $250,000 per person. Titanic remains deep in the Atlantic Ocean, 600 km off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The submarine was traveling with five passengers, including owner and driver Stockton Rush of the US-based company Oceangate, which owns the submarine. With the amount of oxygen that was in the submarine during the journey, it is possible to survive underwater for 96 hours. Accordingly, the submarine’s occupants were reported to be alive on oxygen as of Thursday morning.
