Positive/Negative way of reporting

The paragraph "The submersible went missing ... this incident is still ongoing with air expected to run out on 22 June 2023 at around 08:30 CET (07:30 UTC)."

Perhaps a more positive way of putting it would be "...with enough air to last until 22 June at around 08:30..." 2.29.18.183 (talk) 16:35, 20 June 2023 (UTC)

Infobox

There is a difference in the introduction and the infobox: the introduction says, they disappeared on June 18th, while the infobox mentions the 19th.

I'd like to propose to delete the "disappeared"-line in the infobox for the time being: we all know that this is usually the place for the date of the death - up to now, however, there is no proof for that. I think it's sufficient to state the disappearance in introduction and the article and to wait for any official statements, resp. for the incident's development. --AnnaS.

It's already time the submarine oxygen went out so should I put his death/disappearance on there because there's no way he's alive

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:37, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Well we don’t know exactly when he died, for all we know he could’ve imploded on the way to the bottom of the sea, or probably died before the oxygen expire date, so we don’t know for sure, it’d be false information to add a random date, I feel like disappeared is more appropriate until we know more for @ 2600:100C:B015:56C4:3503:5F37:4532:9AA4 (talk) 14:04, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

You do know it's five people, not just one, don't you? 205.239.40.3 (talk) 14:09, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

This article is about one person, Harding, so it makes sense to only discuss the topic of the article. Jth125 (talk) 20:33, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

That's true, but he did not die alone on a lone expedition. It's very likely all five died at the same time. And not because the oxygen ran out. 86.187.226.153 (talk) 20:59, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Debris were located on the 22nd of June. Confirming the death of Hamish Harding 91.110.169.94 (talk) 17:29, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

You seem to be confused on the definition of "confirming". Wait a couple hours, geez. 174.112.72.70 (talk) 18:22, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

No press release, family statement, PR statement or news articles, to the best of my knowledge, have been published confirming the deaths of any of the passengers onboard the Titan. It is likely that they are tragically deceased, but we cannot update the page until this is confirmed. OneRandomBrit (talk) 18:36, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

There is to be an official update, by the US Coastguard, at 20:00 BST. 86.187.226.153 (talk) 18:56, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

He died on the 22

Not done: Sources suggest that the submersible presumably imploded during its descent on the 18., but the remains were only found on the 22. Do you have any sources that say something else? -- Maddy from Celeste (WAVEDASH) 20:42, 22 June 2023 (UTC)

Remove the section to do with Hamish Harding being "presumed dead" as it doesn't reflect current events. 115.70.185.213 (talk) 07:20, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Done Article now assumes he died on 18 June. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 09:09, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

I will add more about his death details Daniel9247 (talk) 07:49, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Can you let us know specifically what you're planning to add? -- Euryalus (talk) 07:54, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Actualcpscm (talk) 09:10, 23 June 2023 (UTC)

There's not much more that can be said. At least not until/if the exact cause of the submersible failure can be agreed. 205.239.40.3 (talk) 09:17, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
