The Tragic Journey of the Titan Submersible: A Timeline.
TL;DR
The Titan submersible, carrying a team of five, including renowned adventurer Hamish Harding and OceanGate CEO and pilot Stockton Rush, was lost during an expedition to explore the wreckage of the Titanic. After losing contact with the submersible, an intense international search and rescue operation was launched, but the vessel was discovered on the ocean floor, with debris consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber. All five crew members were killed.
