Cause of Death of Sub Crew Revealed – Billionaire’s Family Blasts Rescue Mission

On June 18, 2023, a team of five men embarked on a voyage to the Titanic wreck on board a submersible. An hour and forty-five minutes after their dive began, the ship lost contact with those above the surface.

Since the Titan submersible vessel began its dive into the deep blue towards the Titanic wreck on June 18, the world watched on with bated breath to find out what happened to the passengers on the ship when it disappeared and began running out of oxygen.

Many doctors and psychiatrists also stepped forward to explain what the men might be experiencing in the submersible and what the harsh conditions they were living in might have done to them.

Submarine experts had also weighed in on what may have happened to the vessel when it lost contact with those on the surface, saying an implosion was probable, which would likely have killed the men on impact.

What Happened to The Vessel?

Details about what happened to the sub were finally released after search and rescue teams found what appeared to be remnants of the vessel, leading them to believe the passengers tragically died.

On June 22, the US Coast Guard confirmed that all five passengers had been presumed dead after finding debris likely from a "catastrophic implosion" of the submersible.

When asked if the time it took to finally find the first traces of the vessel could have contributed to the passengers' loss of life, the Coast Guard confirmed the loss of cabin pressure and implosion likely happened before the search began.

Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger confirmed that the passengers' environment was "incredibly unforgiving." The banging heard in 30-minute intervals after the submersible went missing has been proven not to have been from the vessel too.

All of these details were revealed in a press conference held by the US Coast Guard. A crewless vessel was sent down to try and find the vessel, and as mentioned in the press conference, found debris near the Titanic wreck, but only two miles beneath the ocean's surface. Mauger said:

"On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families. I can only imagine what this has been like for them, and I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time."

Each of those on board had families who have remained mostly silent during this ordeal, other than sharing statements thanking the public for their prayers and asking for respect and privacy.

Billionaire's Family Blasts Rescue Mission

The family of Hamish Harding, one of the passengers aboard the vessel, has voiced concerns about the length of time it took the search and rescue teams to sound the alarm on the ship going missing.

According to Kathleen Cosnett, Harding's cousin, there was an eight-hour delay in contacting the authorities, and it was "far too long" a wait before notifying those who could locate and save the missing vessel. Cosnett said the situation was all highly frightening to the family and admitted:

"I would have thought three hours would be the bare minimum."

Tragically, the family's worst fears have been realized as the five passengers on board have been presumed dead after search and rescue teams found debris from the vessel.
