The United States Coast Guard has confirmed that debris belonging to the Titan submersible has been found near the wreck of the Titanic.
The submersible Titan, operated by U.S.-based OceanGate Expeditions, lost contact with surface vessels on Sunday morning as it was nearing the Titanic shipwreck during a 3,800-metre dive.
More coming.
