Extra Time: Search for missing submersible results in tragic ending
In this edition of 'Eyewitness News Extra Time,' we begin with the tragic end to the search for the missing submersible that was headed towards the Titanic wreckage site.
The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed all five passengers on board are presumed dead.
This comes after a rover managed to find debris from the sub. Officials say this means the sub imploded about 1,600 feet from the wreckage of the Titanic.
Two of the victims were members of the Explores Club on the Upper East Side. Paul-Henri Nargeolet lived in Connecticut before moving to Dutchess County.
Eyewitness News reporter Marcus Solis had the latest details including more about the victim nicknamed 'Mr. Titanic.'
Here are the other headlines from Thursday's show:
