Coast Guard announces its own probe into OceanGate's imploding sub

The Titan submarine imploded at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, but the military continued working on finding it to the tune of $6.5 million.

In a Sunday briefing, the Coast Guard announced it would investigate the cause and also who should be held accountable. They also teased the idea of possible criminal or civil sanctions for any responsible parties.

"This case has been extremely complex, involving a coordinated international inter-agency, and private sector response, in an unforgiving and difficult-to-access region of the ocean, said Rear Admiral John Mauger. "In total, they unified command directed 11 surface assets, five subsurface assets, four air assets, and completed 39 search and rescue missions, totaling almost 13,000 square miles."

He went on to say, "the discovery of the Titan submersible wreckage mark at the conclusion of the search and rescue aspect of this incident. The coast guard has officially convened a marine board of investigation into the loss of the submersible and the five people on board. That investigation will be led by the chief investigator, Capt. Jason Neubauer."

Neubauer announced that they'd be putting together a full report that will be available to the public. They will continue to collect testimony and information as they put together that report.
