Investigators have now concluded their "Search & Rescue" operation into missing submersible in the North Atlantic.

-The US Coast Guard launched an investigation into the loss of the Titan sub, which imploded with five people on board.  The group was on their way to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

The Titan went missing last weekend during a voyage to the Titanic wreckage in the North Atlantic. The crew of the Polar Prince research vessel lost contact with the submersible 1 hour and 45 minutes into its June 18 dive. 

Chief investigator Cpt Jason Neubauer said its priority would be recovering debris and that the investigation would be able to recommend civil or criminal charges. He said the US Coast Guard has convened its highest level of investigation and will be run jointly with Canadian, UK and French authorities.  The investigation could lead to tougher regulations and safety recommendations for submersibles.

The investigation is currently in its initial phase and efforts to recover the wreckage of the sub are ongoing.

So far, five major pieces have been found below the surface in a large debris field.
