Social Media Spreads Theory Missing Titanic Sub Can Be Located with Shark Tracking App

Social media users are spreading a theory originally posted to TikTok that the missing OceanGate Titan submersible can be located with a shark tracking app. According to the theory, the sub was mistaken for sharks tracked as part of a scientific experiment after two sharks associated with the study suddenly pinged near the Titanic wreck.
