The search for the Titan has passed the critical 96-hour mark when breathable air could have run out.
The Titan submersible was estimated to have about a four-day supply of breathable air when it launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic.
But experts have emphasized that was an approximation and could be extended if passengers have taken measures to conserve breathable air.
