Businessman Guillermo Söhnlein, 57, was visibly upset when a BBC reporter interrupted his interview to report that a survey team had spotted a debris field on the ocean floor.
“Excuse me… what has been found?” asked the startled Söhnlein.
The reporter replied that he had no details of the find.
Söhnlein founded OceanGate Expeditions with Rush in 2009.
Although he left the company 10 years ago, Söhnlein has repeatedly spoken of his respect and loyalty to the work and vision of his former partner and company co-founder.
The search for the submarine was completed on Thursday when they were found wreckage about 500 meters from the wreck of the Titanic.
Military experts found that the debris leads to the conclusion that noted “a catastrophic loss of the ship’s pressure chamber”, burglary, as US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger announced.
As officials work to determine the timing and circumstances of the crash, Remotely operated vehicles will be used to map the shipwreck location fieldwhich is located in depth over 2 miles in the North Atlantic OceanMauger said.
Officials have yet to make a final determination if the catastrophic explosion occurred at the time the submarine stopped communicating about 1 hour and 45 minutes after his dive, said Mauger.
A senior Navy official, however, told CNN that a Navy review of the acoustic data found an “anomaly consistent with an explosion” Sunday in the general area where the Titan sank.
The information “shared immediately” with commanders on the ground, who were leading the search effort and were used to narrow down the search area, the official said. Sound judged “inconclusive» and “the decision was made to continue our search and rescue mission and make every effort to save lives on board.”
However, once the search began, crews had sonar buoys in the water “almost constantly” and they found none “catastrophic event”Mauger said.

When asked if the bodies of the crew members might be found, Dr. Ellen Martyan expert in disaster medicine at Florida International University, explained that “There will be almost nothing. It is highly unlikely that they will find anything of human tissue.’
A medical expert also told CNN’s Anderson Cooper that an explosion in the deep sea will leave behind no human remains that can be found.
According to estimates so far, the deaths of the five Titan passengers appear to have been instantaneous after the catastrophic decompression that occurred shortly before they reached the Titanic wreck.
The deaths of all five must have been quick and painless, as they would have died instantly from the extraordinary pressures exerted at such depths, former director of underwater medicine in the US Navy, Dale Moll, told the Daily Mail.
