All passengers on a submersible used to view the Titanic are believed to be dead. OceanGate, the company behind the sub excursion program, released a statement saying it believes all five passengers have been lost. The Titan disappeared Sunday when it was bound for the wreck of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
