The intact bow of the Titan submersible is recovered.
The New York Times reported on October 12 that the US Coast Guard (USCG) has just found objects believed to be the remains of victims of the Titan submersible that crashed while exploring the wreck of the Titanic nearly four months ago.
Accordingly, engineers from the USCG Marine Investigation Division also found more debris from the submersible at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean last week. The USCG provided images showing the intact titanium cone of the 6.7-meter-long submersible.
The debris has been taken to a US port for analysis, while remains believed to be those of the victims "have been carefully recovered from within the wreckage of the Titan submersible and transported for analysis by US medical experts".
Investigators have been analyzing and examining material recovered from the Titan submersible since late June. The USCG said it will continue to review new evidence and interview witnesses in preparation for the public hearing.
Passengers in the Titan submarine died before realizing the danger?
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada have joined the search in the investigation into the cause of the accident.
The Titan submersible of the deep-sea exploration company OceanGate carrying five people went missing shortly after diving to the location of the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic Ocean on June 18.
On June 22, searchers found debris and later confirmed that the Titan had exploded.
The victims who died on the Titan submersible included OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush (61 years old); British billionaire Hamish Harding (59 years old); British-Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood (48 years old) and his son Suleman (19 years old); and French oceanographer and famous Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet (77 years old).
