In an interview with BBC Breakfast on June 19, he explained the tough challenge that rescue teams had to face in locating the submarine, which disappeared in the North Atlantic on June 18 with five individuals on board. The film’s author stated:
“I know the logistics, and I know how vast the ocean is and how small this ship is. If it’s at the bottom, I don’t know how anyone can access it, let alone bring it back.”
Having embarked on three separate dives with OceanGate Expeditions — the company that owns the Titan submarine, Reiss uncovered a troubling pattern of lost communications during these underwater expeditions.
Looking back on his experience, he admits that the thought of potentially not re-emerging lingered throughout the journey. He said, “I use a sub, and in the back of my mind is ‘well, I’m probably not going to get away with this,’ which is always with you.”
While acknowledging the impressive design of the Titan submarine, the manufacturer highlighted the experimental nature of the technology involved. Emphasizing that the ship itself is not flawed, he noted, “It’s just that this is all new technology, and they’re learning it as they go along.”
Drawing parallels to the early days of space exploration and flight, “Horton Hears a Who!” story consultant explained, “You just have to remember the early days of the space program or the early days of flight, where you just made a lot of mistakes on the way to figure out what you were doing.”
With the clock ticking, Titan faces a critical deadline, with its emergency oxygen supply projected to run out on Thursday, intensifying the race against time for a potential rescue.

A group of individuals known as the Titan Five, including British billionaire Hamish Harding, CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush, French navy veteran PH Nargeolet, and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, remain trapped on board.
The US Coast Guard has taken over a large-scale international rescue operation, stepping up its efforts after hearing sounds in the water on Tuesday and Wednesday. However, despite extensive investigation, experts have yet to identify the source or cause of this mysterious sound.
Meanwhile, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) placed under the sea have yet to produce any positive results. Despite the mounting pressure, the rescue team refused to give up hope. US Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick emphasized, “We must remain optimistic and hopeful when we are in the case of search and rescue.” He added:
“If we keep looking, potentially we’ll be at that point… And that’s the discussion we’re going to have with the family long before I’m going to discuss it here publicly.”
