Debris found on the ocean floor on Thursday near the wreck of the Titanic is thought to be from a missing tourist submersible, CNN reported citing an internal US Coast Guard document, a grim development five days into an international search to save the five people aboard.
Rescue teams from several countries have spent days searching thousands of square miles of open seas with planes and ships for any sign of the 6.7m Titan, operated by US-based OceanGate Expeditions. "He is where he really loved being," Nargeolet's daughter, Sidonie, said on Thursday before the discovery of the debris was announced.
Even if the Titan was intact, the air supply on board was estimated at 96 hours when it entered the water on Sunday around 8am, meaning that the occupants likely would have run out of oxygen by Thursday morning.
