Titan, a deep-sea submersible carrying a crew of five individuals on an expedition to the century-old wreck of the Titanic, was discovered in fragments on Thursday following an implosion that resulted in the loss of all lives on board.

The crew included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman and French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

Since the submarine's disappearance on Sunday, the Titan's life support system, initially designed to endure for 96 hours, had been steadily dwindling, narrowing the time frame.

Donaldson ranked fifth in terms of subscribers on YouTube and his account is the second most popular U.S. channel.
