Tributes are being paid to the five men killed on board the Titan sub in what US officials say is a “catastrophic implosion”.
The victims were Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman Dawood, 19, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and Stockton Rush, 61.
Their families have expressed “profound grief” and paid tribute to their exploration endeavors. It has emerged the US Navy originally detected “an acoustic anomaly consistent with an implosion” shortly after the Titan lost contact last Sunday, June 18, 2023.
A robotic diving vehicle found major fragments of the sub on the seafloor about one thousand, six hundred feet from the Titanic shipwreck last week.
James Cameron, Director of the 1997 Titanic film, who has completed 33 dives to the wreck, said he suspected a disaster after the sub went missing.
