Titanic Sub Crew Dead After Vessel’s Catastrophic Implosion
- OceanGate hails deceased crew members as ‘true explorers’
- Unified command will continue searching sea floor near wreck
The five crew members on the missing submersible that was headed to the Titanic died from a “catastrophic implosion” of their vessel.
The US Coast Guard drew that conclusion after examining debris found underwater earlier Thursday by a remotely operated vehicle. The debris was found 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the Titanic.
