People have started to trust a false narrative circulating under CNN’s banner that claims the submarine has been “found empty” as the OceanGate search for the Titanic-bound submarine that vanished four days ago continues.
Attempts to rescue the five personnel are being made, and the oxygen supply is reported to have run out. Despite unsubstantiated “banging” sounds and unexplained sounds, experts fear the worst-case scenario: the submarine exploding underwater, a horrific process well-explained in TikTok videos.
The British billionaire Hamish Harding, a member of the International Society of Adventurers, which also includes Jeff Bezos, Buzz Aldrin, and Josh Gates, was one of the Titanic visitors.
In actuality, CNN did not run any news items saying that the missing submarine had been “found empty.” The rumor was started by a Facebook post that has been disproved by other media.
Under the guise of the American media site, a piece headlined “Missing OceanGate Submarine Found Empty” has been disseminating a lot of false information.
The fake news’ screenshot shows an OceanGate vessel that has been placed on display with its door ajar to reveal the interior, which is empty.
The co-founder of the business that organized the excursion to the Titanic wreckage is likewise wrongly identified in the phony narrative.
The assertion made in the screenshot of the purported CNN item is flatly untrue: “According to the co-founder of Oceangate, the submarine has been found but the passengers were no longer in the submarine.”

Not only was Wendy Rush wrongly described as the co-founder of OceanGate, which is untrue, but the article goes on to make yet another untrue statement regarding the state of the “empty submarine” when it was “found.”
“The submarine was bolted from the outside making it impossible for the passengers to exit the submarine, almost as if they vanished,” it says.
According to the most recent information, the missing vessel is still missing, and the Coast Guard predicts that the submarine will run out of “breathable air” on Thursday between five and six in the morning.
