A "debris field" has been identified within the search area for the lost Titan submersible, according to the US Coast Guard (USCG).
The discovery was made by a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) 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.

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.
