'Catastrophic implosion' - US Coast Guard confirms tragic deaths of five Titanic sub crew

'Catastrophic implosion' - US Coast Guard confirms tragic deaths of five Titanic sub crew The five people aboard a missing submersible died in a "catastrophic" event, a Coast Guard official said on Thursday (June 22), bringing a grim end to the massive search for the vessel that was lost during a voyage to the Titanic. An unmanned deep-sea robot deployed from a Canadian ship discovered the wreckage of the submersible on Thursday morning about 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the century-old wreck, 2-1/2 miles (4 km) below the surface, U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said at a news conference. Mauger added that the debris found was consistent with "a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber." Rescue teams from several countries had spent days searching thousands of square miles of open seas with planes and ships for any sign of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) Titan, operated by U.S.-based OceanGate Expeditions.
