BONSERNEWS.com – Boston, Massachusetts, USA – According to a United States (US) Coast Guard official, the five missing people who had taken part in a tour to see the wreck of the Titanic with the submarine Titan, died, in a press statement, on Thursday, June 22 2023.
OceanGate, the company that owns the Titan submarines, said in a statement, “These guys are true explorers with a unique spirit of adventure and a passionate desire to explore and protect the oceans. We pray for them and their family members at this tragic moment.”
An unmanned deep-sea robot deployed from a Canadian ship discovered the wreck on Thursday, June 22, 2023, in the morning about 488 meters from the bow of the Titanic wreck, 4 km below sea level. US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said this at a press conference. “The debris was like a catastrophic loss of pressure in the chamber,” said Mauger.

Rescue teams from several countries have spent days searching for the Titan submarine, which lost contact on Sunday, June 18, 2023, the morning of about one hour and 45 minutes after starting its expedition.
The five people who took part in the expedition were British billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding, 58; a Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman Dawood, both British citizens; a French oceanographer and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who has visited the wreck of the Titanic dozens of times; and Stockton Rush, founder and CEO of OceanGate, who piloted the sub.
