“The location of the wreck is consistent with a catastrophic internal explosion of the submarine,” Admiral John Mauger said, shortly after the news of the death of the five passengers was announced.

While the company operating the submarine that went missing near the wreckage of the “Titanic” Thursday suggested that the passengers on board “unfortunately died.”

“Our thoughts are with these five lives and each member of their families during this tragic time,” Oceangate said in a statement. “We mourn the loss of life and the happiness they brought with them to all who knew them.”
