Repost: Titan Destroyed in 'Catastrophic Implosion,' All Five Passengers Dead

A deep-sea submersible carrying five people on a voyage to the century-old wreck of the Titanic was found in pieces from a "catastrophic implosion" that killed everyone aboard, the U.S. Coast Guard said on Thursday, ending a multinational five-day search for the vessel.

A robotic diving vehicle deployed from a Canadian ship discovered a debris field from the submersible Titan on Thursday morning on the seabed some 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the Titanic, 2 1/2 miles (4 km) beneath the surface, in a remote corner of the North Atlantic, U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters.

The Titan, operated by the U.S.-based company OceanGate Expeditions, had been missing since it lost contact with its surface support ship on Sunday morning about an hour, 45 minutes into what should have been a two-hour dive to the world's most famous shipwreck.

Five major fragments of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) Titan were located in the debris field left from its disintegration, including the vessel's tail cone and two sections of the pressure hull, Coast Guard officials said. No mention was made of whether human remains were sighted.

"The debris field here is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vehicle," Mauger said.

Even before the Coast Guard's press conference, OceanGate issued a statement saying there were no survivors among the five men aboard the Titan, including the company's founder and chief executive officer, Stockton Rush, who was piloting the Titan.

The four others were British billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding, 58; Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman, both British citizens; and French oceanographer and renowned Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who had visited the wreck dozens of times.

"These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world's oceans," the company said. "Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time."

Search teams and support personnel from the U.S., Canada, France and Britain had spent days scanning thousands of square miles of open seas with planes and ships for any sign of the Titan.

Intense worldwide media coverage of the search largely overshadowed the aftermath of a far greater maritime disaster stemming from the wreck of a migrant vessel off the coast of Greece last week, killing hundreds of people.

SOUNDS FROM THE DEEP

Mauger said it was too early to tell when Titan met its fate. Search teams had sonar buoys in the water for more than three days in the area without detecting any loud, violent noise that would have been generated when the submersible imploded, Mauger said.

But the position of the debris field relatively close the shipwreck and the time frame of the last communication with the Titan seemed to suggest the failure occurred near the end of its descent on Sunday.

The U.S. Navy separately acknowledged that an analysis of its own acoustic data had detected "an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion" near the submersible's location when its communications were lost.

"While not definitive, this information was immediately shared" with commanders of the search mission, a senior Navy official said in a statement first quoted by the Wall Street Journal.

The Journal, citing unnamed U.S. defense officials, said the sound was picked up by a top-secret system designed to detect enemy submarines.

In an interview with Reuters on Thursday, filmmaker James Cameron, who directed the Oscar-winning movie "Titanic" and has ventured to the wreck in submersibles himself, said he learned of the acoustic findings within a day, and knew what it meant.

"I sent emails to everybody I know and said we've lost some friends. The sub had imploded. It's on the bottom in pieces right now. I sent that out Monday morning," he recounted.

Sonar buoys dropped by aircraft had picked up some sounds on Tuesday and Wednesday that temporarily offered hope that the Titan was still intact and that its occupants were alive and trying to communicate by banging on the hull.

But officials said analysis of the sound was inconclusive and that the noises probably emanated from something else.

"There doesn't appear to be any connection between the noises and the location on the sea floor," Mauger said on Thursday.

REMOTE-CONTROLLED VEHICLES

Robotic craft on the seabed will continue to gather evidence, Mauger said, but it was not clear whether recovering the victims' remains will be possible given the nature of the accident and extreme conditions at those depths.

"We will begin to demobilize personnel and vessels from the scene over the course of the next 24 hours," the admiral said.

The search had grown increasingly desperate on Thursday, when the submersible's estimated 96-hour air supply had been expected to run out if the Titan were still intact, a countdown that proved irrelevant.

The RMS Titanic, which struck an iceberg and sank during its maiden voyage in 1912, killing more than 1,500 people aboard, lies about 900 miles (1,450 km) east of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, and 400 miles (640 km) south of St. John's, Newfoundland.

The undersea expedition to the wreck, which OceanGate has been operating since 2021, cost $250,000 per person, according to the company's website.

Questions about Titan's safety were raised in 2018 during a symposium of submersible industry experts and in a lawsuit by OceanGate's former head of marine operations, which was settled later that year.

The sweeping search covered more than 10,000 square miles of ocean. On Thursday, the deployment of two specialized deep-sea robot vehicles expanded the search farther into the ocean's depths, where immense pressure and pitch-black darkness complicated the mission.

The fate of the tourist submersible captured global attention in part due to the mythology surrounding the Titanic. The "unsinkable" British passenger liner has inspired both nonfiction and fiction accounts for a century, including the blockbuster 1997 "Titanic" movie, which rekindled popular interest in the story.

They are 1600 feet below sea level inside a sub! Naiintindihan mo ba yung risk nun? They're trapped inside and walang ibang makakatulong sa kanila if worst thing happen. It's a submersible auntie. Wala siyang power to come back on its own. So yes, may chance of dying if things go wrong. Kaya nga madaming experts ang kumontra dyan noon few years ago. I followed the news when it broke out. And 9:20, yes they are with the CEO but despite experts begging him not to proceed, tinuloy pa din niya kahit walang lisensya yung sub. All of them knew the risk. You want more proof? The university student was scared and didn't want to go. The CEO even offered them to pay lower price para lang sumama yung mag-ama.

    2. oo nga baks. parang lata daw ng softdrinks na niyupi. basta opposite ng explosion which is palabas. ito opposite, tipong nadaganan. sa sobrang lalim mo ba naman sa dagat. pool or beach pa nga lang katakot na malunod, ito pa kayang hundreds of feet under the sea na kayo.

    3. Thank you sa explanation. Di ko rin gets kasi ang implosion. Nakakatindig balahibo naman. Sa madaling salita parang inapakan, as in flat, ganun ba yun?

    7. 2:33 not just inapakan. Crushed, pulverized. As gory as it may seem, it was probably instantaneous so wala na silang naramdaman na pain.

      Delete
    8. 7:15 hindi daw inapakan yung term eh, isipin mo yung tin can na pinitpit sa magkabilang dulo, after daw ng imposion mag ccreate pa ng heat yun and mag eexplode. pati daw talaga bones mo pulverized so impossible talaga na makita bangkay nila. 6000 psi ba naman yung pressure so most likely wala talaga silang makikitang labi. tragic pero good thing na hindi nag process sa utak nila yung nangyare.

  24. Napanood niyo yung interview ni James Cameron regarding about this? Lahat ng sinabi niya on point. He knows na sketchy- olats yung sub kaya hinde niya pinapansin. Mali lang daw niya sana pala napagsabihan na niya yung owner na may mali. He also commented also bakit nag search and rescue pa mga helicopter that makes no sense. Kung saan daw bumaba yung sub dapat dun sila nag Focus sa may dagat na mismo. Imagine after 8 hours pa nila nireport sa cost guard yung nangayri. May mali din e dapat pala
    Wala sila
    License to operate. :(

    2. Yup, James Cameron is the man of the hour now. May interview lagi as siya ang considered expert now sa Titanic exploration. Ang daming red flags talaga that it almost seem doomed from the start.

      Delete
    3. 1:44 the owner was already warned by many other experts na flawed yung design ng sub pero hindi nakinig. Matigas talaga ang ulo kahit anong payo sa kanya. As for the useless helicopter search , siguro kasi most coast guards are not equipped for deep sea search,ang protocols nila are for rescuing yung mga lumulutang na tao from sunken boats and such. Coast guards need to update their capabilities for scenarios like this.

    4. Yup saw this!lahat talaga redflag di ko magets di sila nag isip na kung sakali may mangyare sakanila dun may escape plane or what kung mag warn na may error na.
      Napanuod ko naman sabi ng isa sa passenger sa interview nya may malaking warning sign daw kung magfe fail yan.Tas yun pala wala as in imploding ang ending.

    5. May nainterview na mag-ama din na sasakay din sana dyan pero yung anak nagduda sa safety at nakinig naman yung tatay sa kanya kaya hindi na sila tumuloy.

  25. Sa nangayri ito nanood ulit ako ng titanic and documentary yung after 20 years binisita ulit nila yung wreckage.

    Imagine 5 kayo pababa sa Ocean tapos may part na madilim in a very small room. grabe yun. Siguro magwawala na ako nun. Feel ko nga nung time na nawalhan ng signal dun na nangyari yung implosion. Sabi kasi mabilis daw pagbaba ng sub usually dapat dahan dahan lang dapat and the weather is not that Good din pero tinuloy parin. Madami na talaga red flag pero tinuloy parin nila :(. Kasi naman dapat patahimikin na yan titanic na yan e. Hayaan na siya dun. Wag guluhin ang patay

    1. parang napabilang na yung lima sa casualties ng titanic. What a tragic way to die. This may sound weird, pero siguro may mga kaluluwa dyan na naghahanap ng damay sa sinapit nila. Kaya bigyan na sila ng katahimikan at ipag-pray na lang na matanggap na sana nila ang sinapit nila at makatawid sila ng maayos patungo sa kabilang buhay.

    2. @811 actually yan din yung ghost theory ko dyan. Baka ayaw na ng mga kaluluwa dun na magambala pa sila. Wag na mag-marites pa.

    1. I feel sorry for that teenage son... Malamang nanginginig sya sa takot nung nasa loob na sila. Yung itsura pa naman nung submersible, ang sikip at hindi kumportable.... Parang kasinglaki lang sya ng regular na kotse, ang liit nung parang bintana na sisilipan nila tapos papunta ka sa ilalim ng dagat.

  32. The CEO really wanted to market the sub as a cost efficient way to explore drilling locations in the bottom of the ocean to oil rig operators. The Titanic trips were a publicity stunt to drum up more exposure for the company. So sad. Profits over safety.

  36. This is what happens when businessmen prioritize profit over safety.
    That submersible didn’t meet safety standards and it turned into a deep sea coffin.
