Titanic Sub Tragedy Marred By Stepson’s Sordid Social Media Drama

While the world was riveted by the tragic saga of the doomed Titanic submarine, a related drama played out on Instagram in the latest example of how every story seems to have a sordid social media angle.

On Thursday after a desperate days-long search, the Coast Guard confirmed the deaths of five passengers aboard a tour submarine headed to view the wreckage of the Titanic, saying the underwater vessel suffered a “catastrophic implosion.” Communication with the submarine was lost on Sunday, and U.S. Navy sensors detected a possible implosion in the area around the same time. Search crews have since found debris from the submarine near the wreckage of the Titanic.
