I'm sorry...some WHAT has been found?' The moment OceanGate co-founder discovers Titan submarine debris has been discovered during TV interview

This is the moment the co-founder of OceanGate learned that debris from the Titan submersible had been discovered by rescue crews during a TV interview.

'I'm sorry, some what has been found?' a shocked Sohnlein quickly asked before the journalist said all he knew at this stage was that debris had been found.


Sohnlein appeared breathless and taken aback by the news, which he most likely knew meant there had been an implosion onboard the vessel.

He told the BBC: 'I'm not sure [what the debris is] because I'm hearing this for the first time but I know that the protocol for lost comms is for the pilot to surface the sub. From the beginning I always thought that's probably what Stockton would have done.'

'In which case it becomes very difficult to find the sub because the surface ship wouldn't have known it was coming up and wouldn't have known where to look. My biggest fear through this whole thing watching the operations unfold is that they're floating around on the surface and they're just very difficult to find.'

But it later emerged that the debris that was found by a remotely operated vehicle deployed by the Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic were parts of the Titan submersible.
