Officials are in a race against time to find a civilian submersible that had five people aboard after it went missing Sunday in the North Atlantic while voyaging to the wreckage of the Titanic.

The 21-foot vessel has four days of emergency capability, the leader of search and rescue efforts said Monday afternoon, as crews with the US and Canadian coast guards continued scouring the ocean’s surface about 900 miles east of Cape Cod and used sonar to listen for sounds far below the water, which is up to 13,000 feet deep in the area.

Big Apple grocers who have been using facial-recognition technology to battle a citywide shoplifting epidemic are fuming over a City Council proposal that would ban the software — just as shopkeepers say it is beginning to prove effective.

The proposed bill would require private businesses and residential buildings to obtain customers’ written consent before their biometric information is captured.
