Pieces of debris from the submarine that tragically imploded during its journey to the Titanic wreckage have now been brought back to land. Captured photos show crews unloading large sections of the Titan submersible in Newfoundland, Canada. This revelation comes roughly a week after the U.S. Coast Guard announced that debris from the submarine had been discovered by an underwater robot around 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. The Coast Guard has stated that the debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel.
The Titan submersible was carrying Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his 19-year-old son Suleman, billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who all tragically lost their lives in the disaster. On Wednesday, the debris was safely transported to St. John’s, Newfoundland, as reported by the Canadian Broadcasting Corp.
The discovery of the debris field was made by a deep-sea robot, also known as a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), from Pelagic Research Services, according to the company. The company recently announced the successful completion of offshore operations after ten days of round-the-clock work. While the company could not comment on the ongoing U.S. Coast Guard investigation into the implosion, it emphasized the importance of learning from this incident and collaborating with international partners to prevent similar occurrences. Canada, France, and the U.K. will be involved in the investigation.
Coast Guard Capt. Jason Neubauer, the chief investigator, stated that this incident presents an opportunity to not only learn from it but also work with global partners to prevent such tragedies from happening again. The debris discovery followed an extensive search effort for the sub, which lost contact with a Canadian research vessel on June 18 during its dive to the Titanic wreckage. The search involved planes and vessels from multiple countries, including the U.S., and focused on an area about 900 nautical miles from Cape Cod, Massachusetts. It was the confirmation of the sub’s implosion by the Coast Guard that helped refine the search area.
In summary, this unfortunate incident with the Titan submersible has resulted in the recovery of debris from the ocean floor. The investigation into the cause of the implosion involves multiple countries and aims to prevent similar incidents in the future.
