The US Coast Guard says it will lead the investigation into the Titan accident.

The mission is to find out what caused the submarine with five people on board to implode on its way down to the Titanic wreck at a depth of 3,800 meters.

The Coast Guard will work with Canadian authorities, who have already launched an investigation, as well as marine casualty authorities in the UK and France.
