A U.S. Navy acoustic system detected an 'anomaly' on Sunday that was likely the Titan’s fatal implosion, according to a senior military official. Coast Guard officials on Thursday announced the craft suffered a catastrophic implosion, killing all aboard.

The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing submersible imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, killing all five people on board. The U.S. Coast Guard says a missing submersible imploded near the wreckage of the Titanic, killing all five people on board.

“This was a catastrophic implosion of the vessel,” said Rear Adm. John Mauger, of the First Coast Guard District. “These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans,” OceanGate said in a statement. “We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.”

Mauger said it was too soon to say whether the implosion happened at the time of the submersible’s last communication on Sunday. But it was not detected by sonar buoys used by search crews, he said, which suggests it happened before they arrived several days ago. “Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of those who lost their lives on the Titan. They have been through a harrowing ordeal over the past few days, and we are keeping them in our thoughts and prayers,” the statement said.
