The race was on to find the missing OceanGate Titanic “Titan” sub before it ran out of its 96-hour supply of air. One big question those following this story have is simple: When exactly will the missing OceanGate submarine run out of air?
Now, an estimation can be made about when the submarine will run out of air based on when it first submerged into the water. However, multiple experts have come forward to state the timeline is simply a guess based on the information at hand. Sadly, it is important to know there are a whole slew of things that could have gone wrong causing the vessel to run out of air long before the 96-hour mark. Moreover, the panicked passengers could have also caused the oxygen to get used up faster.
Assuming nothing went wrong causing the oxygen to get used up faster, when are the OceanGate passengers believed to run out of air? Keep reading for the details.
Has Missing OceanGate Titanic ‘Titan’ Sub Run Out Of Air?
Per multiple media outlets, the US Coast Guard has confirmed the missing submarine would run out of air this morning. While it is a bit difficult to nail down the exact timeline, it is being estimated that between 6 and 7 A.M. EST, the five passengers would officially run out of the 96 hours of oxygen. Unfortunately, the time is now 7:30 A.M. EST and that means the U.S. Coastguard believes the passengers have run out of oxygen. Sadly, this means the search has officially shifted from a rescue mission to a recovery missing.

Oxygen May Have Not Lasted 96-Hours, Why?
Now, there are all sorts of experts coming forward to interview with outlets and/or to speak on TikTok about the missing submarine. Many experts admit there is a very real possibility the passengers ran out of air long before the 96-hour window passed. Some experts are speculating that if the submarine lost power when it lost its ability to communicate, it is possible the CO2 scrubber failed to function. This problem would have eventually caused the passengers to suffocate with nowhere for the carbon dioxide to go.
Titan submersible will run out of breathable air by 7:08am ET Thursday, the @USCG has projected. The crew could be making last-ditch efforts to conserve oxygen reducing metabolic effort. #Titanic #RMSTitanic #Oceangate pic.twitter.com/pm6FVt79Du

Likewise, there were also some serious concerns about the stability and safety of the submarine as it was reportedly built from scrap material. Some experts are saying there is a very real chance they are having trouble finding the vessel because it imploded under pressure as it dove down to the Titanic wreckage.
The Titan sub has run out of air. All hope of rescue is now lost. I can't imagine many worse ways to go than trapped in a tiny capsule freezing in the dark buried alive under 12,000 feet of water… horrible… prayers up to deceased 🙏 #titanicsub #OceanGate
