The five people aboard a missing submersible died in what appears to have been a “catastrophic implosion”, the US Coast Guard says following a massive international search for the vessel that was lost during a voyage to the Titanic.
“These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans,” OceanGate Expeditions, the US-based company that operated the Titan submersible, said in a statement.
