0:51Now PlayingNational Security Council Spokesman John Kirby claims the Navy shared their acoustic finding of the lost tourist submersible "Titan" early in the search.
RELATEDMissing Titanic submersible faced safety questions. What we know.
After the mission turned from rescue to recovery following the grisly discovery that the missing Titan submersible imploded, institutions cited as partners in its manufacture distanced themselves from claims of their involvement in the ill-fated vessel's design.
In statements, Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington clarified their roles in the development and testing of the Titan watercraft built and billed by OceanGate Inc. as a safe, seaworthy vehicle that would provide an unmatched, once-in-a-lifetime experience for passengers at $250,000 a pop ‒ even as the OceanGate CEO conceded some rules had been broken to speed the innovative submersible's debut.
Officials determined a "catastrophic implosion" killed the five people aboard the Titan vessel after starting its dive to view the Titanic wreckage site. The U.S. Navy analyzed its acoustic data and found an anomaly consistent with an implosion near where the submersible was operating when communications were lost June 18, Coast Guard spokesperson Briana Carter confirmed to USA TODAY. The information was shared immediately with the search commander.
