BREAKING: OceanGate announced it believes the five passengers who went missing while attempting to explore the Titanic shipwreck “have sadly been lost.”
The Coast Guard announced Thursday that they believed the five passengers who disappeared while attempting to explore the Titanic shipwreck were likely lost due to a “catastrophic implosion” of their vessel.
Shortly before Mauger’s comments, the company running the expedition, OceanGate, announced that the five passengers “have sadly been lost.” The grim announcement came four days after a 21-foot tourist submersible named the Titan was reported missing approximately 900 miles east of Cape Cod, triggering a massive search to find the vessel before the occupants ran out of oxygen.
The Titan, operated by OceanGate, a private exploration company based in Everett, Wash., launched early Sunday morning to tour Titanic wreckage with five passengers on board: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush; a 61-year-old British billionaire and explorer; Hamish Harding, a 58-year-old Pakistani businessman; Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman; and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a 77-year-old French explorer.
