Titanic Submarine missing Live Updates: The Titan submersible, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, has been imploded in the Atlantic Ocean, news reports have confirmed. On 18 June, the submersible went on an expedition to explore the wreckage of the sunken Titanic off the coast of Newfoundland but two hours later it lost the communication. A renowned Titanic expert, a world record-holding adventurer, two members of one of Pakistan's wealthiest families, and the CEO of the company were part of the luxurious expedition. The US Coast Guard and deep-sea water experts from Canada, the UK, and France jointly started a search operation for the Titan submersible on Sunday (18 June), spurring a desperate international rescue effort. However, yesterday, the US Coast Guard confirmed there were no survivors after the catastrophic implosion deep in the North Atlantic.
Talk to someone who rode on the Titan submersible, and they're likely to mention a technological glitch: the propulsion system failed or communications with people on the surface cut out. Maybe there were problems balancing weights on board.
They are also likely to mention Stockton Rush, the OceanGate Expeditions CEO who died on the fatal trip this week. He has been described by past passengers as both a meticulous planner and an overconfident pioneer.
“I 100% knew this was going to happen," said Brian Weed, a camera operator for the Discovery Channel’s “Expedition Unknown" show, who has felt sick to his stomach since the sub's disappearance Sunday.
