“Today I am filled with joy,” Mason Fairbanks says. “Searching for treasure with my long-lost son. My dream for each of you is that you find the happiness I feel today.”
During the expedition, the father-son duo find a shipwrecked boat with two boxes full of treasure. Homer Simpson challenged his friends by saying that the family found the treasure and will show it to them after getting to shore.
He gets stuck in his submarine and falls unconscious after oxygen runs out.

A multinational mission to find a missing submersible near the Titanic wreck is still focused on rescuing the five-member crew alive, the US coast guard insisted Thursday, despite fears that the vessel’s oxygen may already have run out.

Two more unmanned subs were deployed Thursday as the massive hunt for the Titan, lost somewhere in a vast swathe of the North Atlantic between the ocean’s surface and more than two miles (nearly four kilometers) below, moved to the critical stage.
Based on the sub’s capacity to hold up to 96 hours of emergency air, rescuers had estimated that the passengers could run out of oxygen in the early hours of Thursday.
