An international group of agencies, including the U.S. Coast Guard, is investigating why the Titanic tourist submersible imploded, killing five people.

Victor Vescovo, a Dallas businessman and submersible pilot who was friends with two of the victims onboard the OceanGate Titan, said he declined a previous invitation aboard the submersible, citing safety concerns.

"Unfortunately, this operator, OceanGate, had a design and operating procedures that many of us were extremely concerned about and even warned people not to participate in their expeditions," Vescovo said.
