The United States Coast Guard says a debris field has been discovered within the search area of the Titanic, after a submersible went missing with five people aboard on a visit to the famous wreck.

The Titan submersible lost contact with surface vessels on Sunday morning as it was nearing the Titanic site in the North Atlantic Ocean.

More coming.
