Titanic Legacy Haunts Submarine Tragedy

TL;DR Summary
Wendy Rush, the wife of missing OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, is the great-great-granddaughter of Isidor and Ida Strauss, who died on the Titanic. The submersible carrying five people that vanished while heading to tour the Titanic wreckage site off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, is likely to have imploded, killing all on board. The search for the missing submersible intensified, with a U.S. Navy portable crane system capable of bringing up items from as deep as 20,000 feet arriving in St. John's, Newfoundland.
