Five "major pieces" of debris from the Titan helped identify the fate of the submersible vessel after its mysterious disappearance, according to authorities.
Following the discovery of a large debris field during a search off the coast of Newfoundland, the US Coast Guard said they had recovered a number of fragments which led them to believe a "catastrophic" event had taken place.
It is thought the submersible craft suffered a sudden implosion at some point after communication was lost with its five passengers on Sunday. The impact is likely to have killed them instantly.
