'My Heart Will Go On' receives millions of streams after Titan mishap
Updated | By Jacaranda FM
'My Heart Will Go On' by Céline Dion has received close to 8-million Spotify streams after the Titan mishap.
The small sub-named Titan disappeared on Sunday as it descended to the Titanic, which sits more than two miles (nearly four kilometers) below the ocean's surface and 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
OceanGate Expeditions charged $250,000 for a seat on the sub.
In a 2018 lawsuit, its former director of marine operations raised concerns about the "experimental and untested design" of Titan.
Harding was a billionaire and keen explorer with three Guinness Records to his name, while the Dawoods belonged to one of Pakistan's richest families. Nargeolet was nicknamed "Mr Titanic" for his frequent dives at the site.
The 21-foot (6.5-meter) Titan had been due to resurfacing seven hours after beginning its descent at 8:00 am on Sunday.
But the craft lost communication with its mothership less than two hours in.
Ships and planes from the US and Canadian coast guards, as well as a robot sent from France, scoured 10,000 square miles (around 20,000 square kilometers) of surface water - roughly the size of the US state of Massachusetts - for the vessel.
The search honed in on areas where underwater banging noises were detected late Tuesday and Wednesday. But ultimately the sounds did not appear to have any relation to the site of the debris.
On Wednesday, the five men were declared dead.
The Titanic hit an iceberg and sank in 1912 during its maiden voyage from England to New York with 2,224 passengers and crew on board. More than 1,500 people died.
It was found in 1985 and remains a lure for nautical experts and underwater tourists.
The pressure at that depth as measured in atmospheres is 400 times what it is at sea level.
The film 'Titanic' was released in 1997 and superstar singer Céline Dion performed the theme song, 'My Heart Will Go On'.
'My Heart Will Go On' is the most in-demand and acclaimed song in Dion's career.
Since the OceanGate mishap - the award-winning song made headlines across the world. According to reports, the song has received almost 8-million streams on Spotify.
Listen to the song below:
In 2017, Dion performed the song at the Billboard Music Awards.
