oh you re no fun. [lock clicks shut] all five passengers on the missing titanic sub are suddenly dead, starting now, the titanic wreckage area, the site of yet another tragedy after debris believed to be from the missing submersible is found with the passengers feared dead and wreckage on the ocean floor. rescue operations now shift from rescue to recovery. safety concerns flagged well before the operation, one contractor that worked with oceangate says there was an experimental decision during construction of the vessel, and in the wake of this tragedy, cnn is going to examine deep- sea exploration and the inherent dangers that come along with these kinds of curious mind expeditions. welcome to the lead time jake tapper, the world lead, a tragic ending to the search for the missing sub, the missing coast guard confirmed debris has been found on the seafloor near the wreckage of the titanic, the rear admiral says the debris field is consistent with a quote catastrophic
