“Intense worry” is how a former passenger of the missing Titanic submersible describes his feelings as he waits with hope that the five people onboard, including two of his friends, will be found safely.

Alfred Hagen, president of Hagen Construction and Development and a self-described adventurer from Pennsylvania, spoke with Global News about his connection to the ship and recounted his own journey he took into the ocean depths in 2021.

His friends Paul-Henry Nargolet, a French diver considered a world expert on the Titanic, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush were on the submersible when it went missing Sunday.

"What's going through my mind at this moment is an intense worry about my friends who are trapped on the bottom of the North Atlantic," Hagen told Global News. "It becomes difficult just doing the mundane things that you need to do during the day because you keep thinking you're having a cup of coffee, you're eating lunch, and what are they doing? So it's a torturous process."
