    Premier Andrew Furey has reached out to offer support in the search for the missing Titan submersible and the people onboard.  He says we are all anxiously awaiting a positive outcome in the coordinated search. Meanwhile, the vessel has been missing for more than 24 hours. The BBC is reporting British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman are two of the five on board. Another of those believed to be in the craft is British businessman and explorer Hamish Harding. Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French Navy diver who has explored the Titanic before, is also on the vessel. Contact with the small sub was lost about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive to the wreck site off the coast of Newfoundland on Sunday.
