US Coast Guard officials are evaluating the find
A "debris field" has been identified within the search area for the lost Titan submersible, according to the US Coast Guard . The discovery was made by a remotely-operated vehicle near the Titanic wreckage on Thursday.
The search for the deep-sea vessel remains an "active search and rescue" mission since it lost contact on Sunday. The submersible was roughly 435 miles south of St John’s, Newfoundland, en route to the Titanic shipwreck off Canada's coast. USCG officials stated they are currently "evaluating the information" after the debris was found on Thursday. On board the undersea craft were Hamish Harding, founding member of the Board of Trustees of The Explorers Club, UK businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, OceanGate’s chief executive and founder Stockton Rush, and French submersible pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet.The USCG disclosed that the ROV which discovered the debris was part of the Canadian Horizon Arctic ship.
Help from the Royal Air Force is set to reach St John’s on Thursday following a confirmation that an overnight request for aid with the movement of additional commercial equipment was received. Two RAF aircraft, a C-17 Globemaster and A400 Atlas, left RAF Lossiemouth in north-east Scotland on Thursday.
Downing Street has confirmed that a British submariner and equipment from a UK firm have been dispatched to aid the search at the request of the US Coastguard. Lieutenant Commander Richard Kantharia from the Royal Navy, who was on an exchange programme with the US Navy, has been assigned to the search and rescue team.
