OceanGate’s Five Missing Passengers ‘Have Sadly Been Lost,’ Company Says
As the search for the OceanGate Titan, a submarine dedicated to Titanic exploration, continues, the company said it believes the passengers have “sadly been lost.”
On Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that a debris field was found within the search area, identified as belonging to the external body of the submersible. The debris is consistent with a “catastrophic implosion” of the submersible, said John Mauger, the First Coast Guard District commander, in a press conference.
Mauger also told reporters that the Coast Guard is still working through the timeline of what went wrong in the “incredibly complex” situation.
