A year after the Titan's tragic dive, deep-sea explorers vow to pursue ocean's mysteries

Tuesday marks one year since the Titan vanished on its way to the historic Titanic wreckage site in the North Atlantic Ocean. After a five-day search, authorities said the vessel had been destroyed and all five people on board had died.

PORTLAND, Maine (AP) — The deadly implosion of an experimental submersible en route to the deep-sea grave of the Titanic last June has not dulled the desire for further ocean exploration, despite lingering questions about the disaster. David Concannon, a former adviser to OceanGate, said he will mark the anniversary privately with a group of people who were involved with the company or the submersible’s expeditions over the years, including scientists, volunteers and mission specialists. OceanGate CEO and co-founder Stockton Rush speaks during a presentation on findings after an undersea exploration of the SS Andrea Doria wreckage in the Atlantic Ocean near Nantucket, on June 13, 2016, in Boston.
