Officials could not confirm whether they will be able to recover the bodies of the crew members. The families of Dawood said they were overwhelmed by the support they have received Nargeoloet’s son remembered him as a larger than life figure and an aviation company operated by Harding’s family described him as a “larger than life figure”.
The friends and family of those killed have thanked those engaged in the search and paid respect to their loved ones. The navy passed this information onto the Coast Guard which continued the search because it did not consider the information to be “definitive”.īanging noises heard earlier in the week have been attributed to other vessels operating in the area. The US Navy says it recorded a sound “consistent with an implosion” just after the Titan was reported to have lost communications with its support ship on Monday. Those aboard the submersible were British adventurer Hamish Harding, 58 French veteran Titanic explorer Paul Henri Nargeoloet, 77 British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Suleman and 61-year-old American Stockton Rush, co-founder of OceanGate, the company that operated the lost sub. It is too early to tell exactly when the implosion occurred, officials said, noting that nothing was detected on sonar buoys deployed in the ocean in recent days. The debris was “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber”, they said. Five crew members aboard the submersible Titan were probably killed instantly in a “catastrophic implosion” as it descended to the wreck of the Titanic two miles below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, US Coast Guard officials said.Ī large debris field containing five major pieces of the vessel were spotted by a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) scouring the seabed near the Titanic wreck site 400 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, officials said.
