The Titan submersible carrying five people on a voyage to the world’s most famous shipwreck, Titanic, was found in pieces from a “catastrophic implosion” that killed everyone aboard, the US Coast Guard said. READ:
Five major fragments of the 22-foot Titan were located in the debris field left from its disintegration, including the vessel’s tail cone and two sections of the pressure hull, Coast Guard officials said. No mention was made of whether human remains were sighted.
Rescue teams from several countries had spent days scanning thousands of square miles of open seas with planes and ships for any sign of the Titan. But officials said analysis of the sound was inconclusive and that the noises probably emanated from something else. The search had grown increasingly desperate on Thursday, when the submersible’s estimated 96-hour air supply had been expected to run out if the Titan were still intact.The RMS Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage in 1912, killing more than 1,500 people aboard, lies about 900 miles east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 miles south of St. John’s, Newfoundland.
