Missing sub above Titanic wreck at last ping before comms lost with five onboard

The missing submersible that vanished while touring the wreckage of the Titanic is believed to have been above its destination when communication was cut off.

Five people were onboard the vessel - which is owned and run by OceanGate Expeditions - including company CEO Stockton Rush, French submersible pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet and British billionaire Hamish Harding,

The sub launched at 4am on Sunday, however communication was lost one hour and 45 minutes into the two-hour descent to the shipwreck, the Mirror reports. Roughly 370 miles off the coast of Newfoundland but in US waters, the site is located around 3,800m (12,500ft) below sea level.
