Lost contact and exploded shortly after, killing all in the submarine: found in the wreckage

US Coast Guard officials said Thursday that the missing Titan submarine had exploded, killing all five people on board. After the explosion, the wreckage of the submarine was said to have fallen two miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean next to the Titanic.

Rear Admiral John Moger of the US Coast Guard spoke to reporters and said his condolences to the people aboard the submarine.

'I can imagine how they must have felt,' he said.

He added that it was too early to say when the explosion took place. There are still many questions about this that need to be answered. He explained.

The search for the submarine may be over after the US Coast Guard disclosed this information.

Officials announced in a press conference yesterday afternoon that wreckage was seen near the Titanic. It is speculated to be the missing Titan submarine and is still under investigation. No formal confirmation has been made yet. The US Coast Guard reported that the wreckage was found by a remotely operated aircraft.

A few hours earlier, the US Coast Guard held a press conference about the findings of its mission, where officials said the discovery of the wreckage was "the result of an explosion due to industrial error." The vessel carrying the five passengers was 1,600 feet (487 meters) from the Titanic's hull. Believed to be beyond.

  Five major pieces were found in the wreckage surrounding the Titanic. Among them, there was a nose cone, the outside of the pressure vessel and a large debris field.

  Rear Adm. Moger said he could not confirm whether or not the U.S. Coast Guard would be able to recover the bodies of the victims. "This is incredibly difficult work," he said

He also said that there does not seem to be any connection between the noises and the explosion of the plane. The explosion is believed to have occurred shortly after the loss of contact and therefore the sounds heard during the operation may have been different.

He reiterated that the Coast Guard had listening devices in the water throughout the search, but no catastrophic failure was detected.

The US Coast Guard said it continues to investigate the location of the wreckage. Rear Adm. Moger said there are currently nine vessels, medical personnel and technicians at the location.

OceanGate believes all five of the missing Titan submersibles are dead.

Hamish Harding, 58, is a British adventurer who has previously gone into space and made several trips to the South Pole.

British businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, is a member of one of Pakistan's richest families and a supporter of two charities founded by King Charles. His son Suleman Dawood, 19, is a student.

Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77, is a former French naval diver who has spent more time on the Titanic than any other explorer and was part of the first expedition to visit it in 1987.

Stockton Rush, 61, was CEO of OceanGate, which operates the lost Titanic submersible.

OceanGate, the company that launched the submarine, issued a statement regarding the accident. It is like this.

“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Narjolet have been sadly lost.

These men were true explorers who shared a spirit of adventure and a deep desire to explore and protect the world's oceans. Our hearts go out to these five souls and each member of their families during this tragic time.

This is a very sad time for our dedicated employees who are exhausted and deeply saddened by this loss. The entire OceanGate family is deeply grateful to the countless men and women from multiple organizations in the international community who have worked so hard for this mission on a wide scale.

We respectfully ask that these families' privacy be respected at this most painful time."
