'They pushed the boundaries of safety a bit too far.' Ocean explorer VictorVescovo tells Sky News why the design of the Titan submersible could have led to issues. Latest: 📺 Sky 501, Freeview 233 and YouTube

The Canadian Coast Guard, US Navy and other agencies and private entities also rushed to provide resources and expertise. The Pentagon has put the hourly cost at tens of thousands of dollars for turboprop P-3 Orion and jet-powered P-8 Poseidon sub hunters, along with C-130 Hercules, all utilised in the search.
Naval historian Norman Polar said there's no other comparable ocean search, especially with so many countries and even commercial enterprises being involved.'Always with a Rubik's Cube in his pocket', Suleman Dawood's school pays tribute to former student "His kind smile, his warm words of encouragement, and his compelling enthusiasm always filled the classroom."The father and son were members of one of Pakistan's most prominent families.

Dave Corley, a former US nuclear submarine officer, said it moves inward at about 1,500mph - that's 2,200ft per second.He says that a human brain responds instinctually to a stimulus at about 25 milliseconds. Human rational response - from sensing to acting - is believed to be at best 150 milliseconds.He adds that when the hull collapses, the air auto-ignites and an explosion follows the initial rapid implosion.
They said the US Coast Guard has asked the NTSB to assist in the investigation into the submersible's implosion.
