During a Sunday dive to the Titanic wreck, the vessel, which had five people aboard, vanished.

After a massive search operation, the sub's disappearance was established.

The official told CBS News that the US Coast Guard had used their information about the "acoustic anomaly" to narrow the search area.

CNN reports that it was deemed "not definitive," so the search and rescue operation continued.

Advertisement Earlier on Thursday, the Coast Guard's Rear Admiral Mauger confirmed that a "catastrophic implosion" that had probably resulted in the deaths of all five Titan passengers was the cause of their deaths.

However, he stated that no sounds that were consistent with this had been detected during the search mission.

"During the nearly continuous time that those sonar buoys have been in the water, we have not detected any catastrophic events."

How much do we know about the terrible implosion?

The US Coast Guard confirmed on Wednesday that "underwater noises" had been detected by a Canadian P-3 aircraft in a search area for the missing vessel.

The Coast Guard moved its operations due to this, which gave new hope that the Titan's crew might still be alive.

CBS reports that other ships in the vicinity may have been the source of those noises.

According to undersea expert Paul Hankin, the discovery of a substantial debris field on Thursday provided the initial indication that the submarine might have imploded.

He stated, "Basically, we found five different major pieces of debris that told us that it was the Titan's remains."

The Titanic's wreck is depicted on a map. Work to map the debris field and search the sea floor around the Titanic is ongoing.

About an hour and 45 minutes into the vessel's dive, nearly a week ago, contact was lost. The Titanic's wreck is approximately 700 kilometers (430 miles) south of St. John's, Newfoundland.

Hamish Harding, a British billionaire businessman, was aboard the vessel. Prior to the dive, he had written on social media that a "weather window" had opened, and that the mission was "likely to be the first and only manned mission to the Titanic in 2023" due to the "worst winter in Newfoundland in 40 years."

The crew also included British father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood. They belonged to one of the wealthiest families in Pakistan.

Along with former French navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush passed away on Titan.
