Titan sub: ‘Human remains’ found in recovered wreckage after ‘catastrophic implosion’
Titan sub: Debris from the doomed submersible recovered more than one week after the vessel imploded
The Titan submersible tragedy shook the world, in which the OceanGate-owned underwater craft, carrying five passengers to the site of the wreck of the RMS Titanic, imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean.
According to the latest reports from U.S. Coast Guards, presumed human remains have been recovered from the wreckage of the Titan submersible.
The reports came after several identifiable parts of the submersible were recovered ashore earlier in the afternoon, which were transported to St John’s harbour by the Horizon Arctic ship.
In the pictures, obtained via CNN, the wreckage parts include the sub's nose and a large panel which appears to be from its tail end.
The Marine Board of Investigation’s chairman, Captain Jason Neubauer, said, “The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy.”
He further added, “there is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the Titan and help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again.”
The Titan submersible implosion was confirmed on June 22, resulting in the immediate death of all five passengers including; British billionaire Hamish Harding, renowned French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, prominent Pakistani business tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.
