All passengers who paid $250,000 each to see the wreck of Titanic Ship under the ocean dead after submarine implosion.
Passengers were on a dive to see the wreck of Titanic when the Sub lost contact with surface support ship on Sunday.
Pieces of missing Sub was discovered on Thursday near the wreck of Titanic after an intense four-day search.
All passengers onboard the Titan submersible declared dead after pieces from the missing vessel was discovered on Thursday near the wreck of the Titanic Ship, ending an intense four-day multinational search.
A catastrophic implosion is believed to have destroyed the Titan submersible. The US Coast Guard said the debris was “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
The deep-sea Titan is operated by the U.S.-based tour firm OceanGate Expeditions, which runs $250,000-a-seat expeditions to take tourists to see the wreck of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The deep-sea submersible was carrying five people on a two-hour dive to see the wreck of the Titanic ship when it lost contact with its surface support ship on Sunday morning about 105 minutes into its journey.

A robotic diving vehicle deployed from a Canadian ship to find the missing Titan discovered a debris field from the submersible on Thursday morning on the seabed, some 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic.
OceanGate Expeditions issued a statement, saying there were no survivors among the five men aboard the Titan. Those onboard the Titan include the company’s founder and CEO, Stockton Rush, who was piloting the Titan and british billionaire Hamish Harding (58).
The three others were Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood (48) and his Suleman (19), and renowned French Titanic expert, Paul-Henri Nargeolet (77), who had visited the wreck dozens of times.
“These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans,” the company said.
“Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time.”
