and good evening from st. john s newfoundland. with a sad and somber evening here. this is where five explorers and would-be explorers were set off on friday, out into the open ocean, traveling so 460 miles from here towards the wreck of the artemis titanic. then, on sunday morning, they were sealed inside the submersible titan, and lowered into the ocean into their descend into the seabed some 13,000 feet below, about two miles. less than two hours later, communication as you know, was lost with the submersible. and we just learned it was about that time that a senior navy official tells cnn, that a navy network of underwater sensors picked up sound consistent they said, with an implosion. but it was determined to be quote, not definitive, unquote. and this afternoon, we learned the worst we this morning, an rov, a remote operated vehicle from the vessel horizon our tech, discovered the tail cone of the titan submersible, approximately 1600 feet from the battle of the tita
multinational search when a deep-sea robot found large pieces scattered on the ocean s floor in two separate debris fields. the robot found the distinctive tail cone some 1600 or so feet from the bow of the titanic. the us coast guard says a catastrophic implosion killed all five people on board. the titans creator and oceangate ceo stockton rush was piloting with the disaster broke. with him on board was hamish harding, shahzada dawood and his 19-year-old son suleman dawood. also paul-henry nargeolet, his stepson will join us live in just a moment. after the titan disappeared without about concerns about the controversial experimental design. it has not gone through safety protocols and many maritime submersibles go through.
deep summer gents community. i was not on a ship myself when the event happened on sunday. the first i heard of it was monday morning, immediately got on my network of. because it s a very small community in the deep submerges group. and, i found out some information within about a half an hour, that they had lost comms, and they had lost tracking simultaneously. the only scenario that i could come up with, in my mind that could have countered that, was an implosion, a shockwave event so powerful that it actually took out a secondary system that has its own pressure vessel, and its own battery power supply, which is the trans monitor that the ship uses to track where the shot sub-is. so i was thinking implosion that, and that was monday morning. i got on the horn again with some other people, tracked down some intel that was probably of a military origin, although it could have been research. because there are hydrophones
i was out on a ship myself when the event happened on sunday. the first i heard of it was monday morning. i immediately got on my network, it is a very small committee and found out some information within about a half hour that they had lost tracking simultaneously. the only scenario that i could come up with that could account for that was an implosion, a shockwave event so powerful that it actually took out a secondary system that has its own pressure vessel and its own battery power supply, which is the transponder that the ship uses to track where the sun is. i was thinking implosion monday morning. i got on the horn with some other people and track down some intel that was probably of a military regular origin. there are hydrophones all over the atlantic. i got confirmation there was some sort of loud noise. that seem to be enough
search for answers. there are a lot of questions as investigators scour the ocean floor. they re working to establish a timeline of the final voice they kill five. coast guard officials say the vessel suffered a catastrophic implosion. the company and its ceo who was among the dead is coming under scrutiny. we are live now from washington dc. what are you hearing from officials? reporter: anderson, many voices say the warning signs were evident and obvious. they were ignored. the way the vessel was built and tested, and this was long before it plunged to that catastrophic collapse. this morning former oceangate ceo stockton rush and his ill- fated titan submersible facing intense scrutiny. rush, who parish in the titan, had a reputation as a visionary, but also a self proclaimed rule
