The discovery of a debris field, less than 500 m from the Titanic wreck, with five major fragments of the submersible Titan prompted authorities to conclude that a 'catastrophic implosion' killed all five on board.
The aunt of Suleman Dawood, who died in the Titan submersible implosion, said he was "terrified" of going on the trip, according to a Thursday NBC interview.
A submersible carrying five people to the Titanic imploded near the site of the shipwreck and killed everyone on board, authorities confirmed, bringing a tragic end to a saga that included an urgent around-the-clock search and a worldwide vigil for the missing vessel.
Renowned filmmaker James Cameron, creator of the classic Titanic , said he is struck by the similarities between the 1912 sinking of the iconic ship and the tragic death of a group of passengers aboard a submersible that was en route to see its remains.
