The US Coast Guard announced on Wednesday that experts have recovered presumed human remains from the remnants of the Titan sub, which imploded during a dive to the Titanic wreck, resulting in the deaths of five
individuals.
The agency stated that US medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of the recovered remains. The passengers on board included British explorer Hamish Harding, French submarine expert PaulHenri Nargeolet, PakistaniBritish tycoon Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, and Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, the operator of the sub. The tragic incident occurred when the Titan sub, approximately the size of an
SUV, collapsed due to the immense pressure of the North Atlantic at a depth of over two miles.
The damaged debris from the submersible has been transported to eastern Canada and will be transferred to a US Coast Guard cutter for further examination in a US port, marking the conclusion of the challenging search-and-recovery operation. Captain Jason Neubauer, leading the US investigation into the tragedy, emphasized that there is still significant work ahead to comprehend the factors that led to the devastating loss of the Titan sub and to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future.
Television footage depicted the retrieval of what appeared to be the Titan sub’s nose cone and a side panel containing exposed electronics and wires, being lifted from a ship onto a flatbed truck at a Canadian Coast Guard terminal in St. John’s, Newfoundland.
Pelagic Research, the New York-based company that owns the Odysseus remote operated vehicle utilized in the search for the ill-fated submersible, confirmed the completion of their offshore search-and-recovery operation.
Canadian officials refrained from providing comments regarding the recovery of the sub debris. The Titan sub was reported missing on June 18, and last Thursday, the US Coast Guard announced that all five individuals aboard the submersible had tragically perished following a catastrophic implosion of the vessel.
