The Titanic-bound submersible that went missing on Sunday with five people on board suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing everyone on board, US Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger said Thursday. A remotely operated vehicle found the tail cone about 1,600 feet away from the bow of the shipwreck, Mauger said. “Our friends and fellow Explorers Club members Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet are lost, along with Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, while trying to reach the RMS Titanic,” President Richard Garriott de Cayeux said in a statement. He thanked the many groups involved in the search and rescue mission and the many others around the world “who have mobilized personnel and resources to support the search and rescue.” The Titan began its descent Sunday to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, located about 13,000 feet below sea level in the Atlantic.

Watch that exact moment when media personality and digital content creator Azziad walked out from a live interview with Mwende Macharia on Radio Maisha. The two had offline kinda agreed not to touch on Azziad's revoked appointment at Talanta Hela, Ms. Macharia going ahead to pose the question during the interview. "I will honestly walk out here, we cannot agree on something and then you go back on it, if you don't respect me as a brand then I cannot appreciate that," Azziad said (while walking out) after Mwende asked her how being dismissed from Talanta Hela affected her. The show's producer says while walking out, Azziad threatened to sue them. "Shauri yake, ana utoto (That's her problem, she's childlish)," - Mwende Macharia. PS: Azziad was among some 11 Kenyan celebrities whose appointments to various committees in the Talanta Hela Initiative were revoked by Youth Affairs and Arts CS Ababu Namwamba on 9 June. This was after a petition being filed at the High Court challenging their appointments, terming the committee unconstitutional and the appointments not done based on merit. Among those whose appointments were revoked alongside Azziad include Akothee, Kate Actress, Churchill, Wahu, Carol Radull, Jimmy Gathu, Julius Yego, among others.
