The US Coast Guard has said the Titan submersible, which sparked a massive search after going missing on Sunday, was destroyed by a ‘catastrophic implosion’ with the loss of all five people aboard.
Rear Admiral John Mauger told a news conference that analysis of the ‘debris field’ which was found on the floor of the Atlantic near the wreck of the Titanic, which the crew was visiting, led to the conclusion. The debris was located around 1,600 feet from the bow of the world-famous ship, which sank with the loss of around 1,500 lives in 1912.
A few minutes before the press conference began, OceanGate – which owned the Titan submersible and organised the expedition – paid tribute to the five ‘true explorers’ who were onboard.
‘These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans. Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time. We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.
