The Indian fans are booking hospital beds in Ahmedabad at around 3,000 INR to 25,000 INR for a 24-hour stay. They intend to watch India's match with Pakistan in the stadium and then return to hospitals.

They will have their medical exam, full body check-up and can stay in hospital overnight with an attendant. The hospitals will offer them health packages.

The hotel rooms for India vs Pakistan are costing over 70,000 INR and most 5-star hotels are now fully booked with no rooms available. #CWC23

🚨LATEST: Titanic Missing Sub | Hours Away From Suffocation | Billionaire Missing

5 people who went to see the wreckage of the Titanic via a submersible have gone missing, including the submersible itself.

The 5 people are:

- Shahzada and Suleman Dawood: Father-and-son duo from one of Pakistan's prominent families. Their firm, Dawood Hercules Corp., based in Karachi, is involved in agriculture, petrochemicals, and telecommunication infrastructure.

- Hamish Harding: A British billionaire residing in Dubai and chairman of Action Aviation, an aircraft brokering company. Harding paid to join the expedition.

- Stockton Rush: The CEO of OceanGate, the company responsible for the submersible and the tour. Rush was the pilot of the submersible. Greg Stone, a longtime ocean scientist and friend of Rush, described him as "a real pioneer" in submersible innovation.

- Paul-Henry Nargeolet: A former French navy officer and Titanic expert. Nargeolet has made 37 dives to the wreck in the past and participated in the recovery of 5,000 artifacts.

How Long Has It Been Missing?

The submersible has been missing since Sunday morning, June 18th.

The dive was expected to last two hours, but contact with the support ship was lost after one hour and 45 minutes.

How Much Oxygen Remains?

If the submersible is still functioning, it is estimated to have around 20 hours of oxygen left.

They must be found within 12 hours or they’ll likely suffocate during the 8 hour journey back to the surface.

What's a Submersible?

It's important to understand that a submersible is not a submarine.

A submersible lacks the power to launch itself into the ocean and return autonomously, relying on a support ship for launch and recovery.

Submersibles are typically unmanned, but this case involves a manned submersible.

Possible Explanations for Why It's Been Missing:

- Titanic expedition leader G. Michael Harris believes the worst-case scenario is that the hull suffered an implosion around 3,200 meters. Harris fears that the Navy won't be able to rescue the passengers.

- Rear Admiral John Mauger, overseeing the search and rescue mission, suggests the possibility of the vessel being trapped in the Titanic itself. This has happened before, with a submersible getting stuck under a propeller in 2000, but it eventually made its way back to the surface.

- The submersible might be floating undetected in the vast waters.

- A power loss could have occurred, allowing the vessel to return to the surface and waiting for search crews to find it.

- A fire or flood on the submersible would unfortunately lead to certain death.

However, as of now, nobody can say for certain what has happened.

Poor Build Quality of the Submersible:

The submersible used for the exploration had previously received safety complaints.

An OceanGate employee had specifically complained that the sub was not capable of descending to such extreme depths before being fired.

What's even more surprising is that the entire sub is controlled using a cheap Logitech video game controller. Other off-the-shelf parts were also used in building the sub.

Not All Hope Is Lost:

On Tuesday, banging sounds were detected from beneath the water in the North Atlantic Ocean, where the Titanic wreckage is located. Sonar devices picked up the sounds every 30 minutes, continuing even after four hours with additional sonar deployment.

These sounds may be the submersible's occupants calling out for help, although it cannot be confirmed.

If the submersible is still out there and the passengers are alive, one can only imagine the ordeal they must be enduring.

My heart aches thinking of what's happening to the crew atm, especially the father and his son.

I would not wish this to my worst enemies.

Reading this, would you ever consider going on a similar expedition despite the risks involved?

I've totally changed my mind on any ocean or space trips. Screw that!

Jock Zonfrillo, a host on 10's MasterChef Australia passed away in Melbourne yesterday aged 46.

The Scottish presenter and former chef joined the Channel 10 show in 2019, alongside Melissa Leong and Andy Allen.

He is survived by his wife Lauren Fried and his four children.

The Zonfrillo family released a statement on his sudden passing.

“With completely shattered hearts and without knowing how we can possibly move through life without him, we are devastated to share that Jock passed away yesterday.

“So many words can describe him, so many stories can be told, but at this time we’re too overwhelmed to put them into words. For those who crossed his path, became his mate, or were lucky enough to be his family, keep this proud Scot in your hearts when you have your next whisky.

“We implore you to please let us grieve privately as we find a way to navigate through this and find space on the other side to celebrate our irreplaceable husband, father, brother, son and friend.”

Zonfrillo worked under renowned Michelin-starred chef Marco Pierre White in his early career before establishing himself in Australia as the head chef at Restaurant 41 in Sydney in 2000, going on to open his own Restaurant Orana in 2013.

MasterChef Australia will not air this week.
