After days of searching, there is no hope of finding any survivors. Here is the latest.
The five people aboard the submersible that went missing on Sunday were presumed dead on Thursday after an international search that covered much of the world found wreckage near the wreck of the Titanic. A US Coast Guard official said the debris was "consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel. An array of acoustic sensors picked up signs of a possible implosion near the submersible when communications with it were lost, a senior Navy official said Thursday.
According to a second senior Navy official, the search continued because there was no immediate confirmation that Titan had met a disastrous end. The two officers spoke anonymously to discuss operational details.
However, the revelation will likely raise more questions about a failed massive, multinational one-day search and rescue operation.
It is possible that Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, the company that operated the submersible he piloted, was missing on board. The four passengers were a British businessman and explorer, Hamish Harding; an Anglo-Pakistani businessman, Shahzada Dawood, and his teenage son Suleman; and a French marine expert, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who had performed more than 35 dives on the wreck of the Titanic.

A remotely operated vehicle had located the wreckage of the Titan, including the submersible's stern cone, on the seabed about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, according to Admiral Mauger.
They were also concerned that OceanGate Expeditions had not followed standard certification procedures.
OceanGate has organized tours for the 2021 Titanic wreck, priced at $250,000 per person, as part of a booming and high-risk travel industry. The company described the trip on its website as an "exciting and unique travel experience".
Titan brought five passengers into a confined space with no seats below, just a flat floor, and a single 21-inch-diameter viewing window.
Clandestine naval sensors detected a possible implosion when Titan lost communications.
The US Navy discovered "an anomaly related to an implosion or explosion" near the submarine Titan at the time of launch using data from a secret network of underwater sensors tracking enemy submarines. Communications with the ship were lost on Sunday, two senior navy officials said Thursday.
But with no other signs of disaster, a said one of the officials, the search continued. .
Sensor data was combined with information from Navy P-8 air patrol aircraft and surface sonar buoys to triangulate the Titan's approximate location, one of the officials said. Saying. Analysis of the underwater acoustic data and information on the location of the noise was passed to the Coast Guard Searching Officer, Rear Admiral John Mauger.
As there was no visual or other conclusive evidence of a catastrophic failure, it would have been "irresponsible" to immediately assume that all five passengers were dead, one of the officers said, and the search was ordered despite this prospect. The two Navy officials spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss operational details.
It was not immediately clear to what extent the acoustic analysis Marines lay alongside the search party. , or why the Navy hadn't made it public before. The Navy's acoustic analysis of the clandestine sensor array was first reported in The Wall Street Journal.
