Coast Guard

The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed it had rescued 12 people off the coast of Maui who had jumped into the water to escape fast-moving wildfires.

Medical investigators are analyzing the remains recovered from the submersible's wreck as part of a U.S. Coast Guard inquiry.

"This event has likely happened," a marine-life expert told Newsweek, as Discovery Shark Week's "Cocaine Sharks" tests the theory.

A viral video explains there is around 5,600 pounds per square inch of pressure at the depth the Titanic rests, almost 400 times the pressure on the surface.

The expedition company is still listing a trip to the famed wreck in 2024, after a catastrophic implosion of one of its submersibles led to five deaths.

Pieces of evidence from the Titan's implosion last week were returned to shore by crews on Wednesday, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

In one video shared online, passengers can be heard cheering and clapping as the 42-year-old woman is rescued.

"It will be almost impossible for OceanGate to recover," Anthony D'Angelo, a public relations professor, told Newsweek.

One former Titan passenger said he signed a waiver that mentioned "death three times on page one."

Commentators claimed the president withheld news that the Navy heard Titan exploding so the search operation would distract from stories about Hunter Biden.

"The debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," U.S. Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said.

Claims that the offers of several companies with oceanographic equipment to help in the search operation were rebuffed have raised concerns.

It shows an inverted Empire State Building and where it would sit under the depths of the water's surface, which was not even close to the submersible.

"Could not even wait for the oxygen to run out," said one Twitter user of plans to air a program on Thursday called "Titanic Sub: Lost at Sea."

Titan, which was lost with five people onboard, is due to run out of oxygen within hours. Safety concerns had repeatedly been raised about the submersible.

The search-and-rescue operation looking for the missing Titan submersible is being sent a remotely operated vehicle as oxygen onboard is expected to run out.

The U.S. Coast Guard said the debris discovered on the sea floor is from the Titan submersible which suffered a "catastrophic implosion."

Officials previously said that the passengers have enough breathable oxygen to last until sometime Thursday.

The submersible has less than 24 hours of breathable air left, according to Coast Guard estimates.

The banging sounds heard on Tuesday didn't lead rescuers to the missing submersible.

Stockton Rush said he'd "broken" rules with "logic and good engineering behind me."

G. Michael Harris, veteran Titanic diver, said there's likely not equipment able to reach the Titanic's depth "to do any good" to rescue the lost vessel.

Representative Dan Crenshaw said he has heard that the Coast Guard is not deploying "a highly capable rescue" vessel for the search.

Captain Hamish Harding said this was the "worst winter" in Newfoundland in 40 years.

"Kerry, Frank and Bill are all experienced sailors," Kerry O'Brien's brother, Mark Argall, said of the three missing Americans.

Onlookers initially feared the worst after spotting the capsized boat with no one swimming nearby. They then asked the drone operator to search for any people.

The San Diego Fire-Rescue Lifeguard Division responded after receiving a call about a capsized panga boat near Black's Beach.

A Chinese official on Monday said accounts of the encounter were "incorrect."

The U.S. Coast Guard released video footage. This isn't the first time suspected Russian surveillance ships have been tracked.

The body was found by fishermen several miles off the shore.
