Titanic submarine seen for first time as imploded wreck brought ashore

US Coastguard have brought pieces of debris from the Titanic tourist submarine ashore after the "catastrophic" implosion that destroyed it.

The Titan submersible went missing earlier this month, prompting a major search before debris from the vessel was eventually recovered. Pictures showed the pieces being unloaded from the US Coast Guard ship Sycamore and Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St John's, Newfoundland.

A debris field was found by the Coast Guard last week around 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic. All five people onboard the submersible were killed after it suddenly lost contact with its surface ship, MirrorOnline reports.
