Canadian authorities announced this Saturday that they will open an investigation into the accident of the Titan, the private submersible that disappeared near the wreckage of the Titanic, with five people on board.
The Canadian Transportation Security Agency, “as the investigative agency of the flag State of the support vessel in question in this event, will conduct an investigation into the circumstances of this operation carried out by the Canadian-flagged vessel Polar Prince. “, he wrote in a statement.
The Polar Prince is the ship from which, this Sunday, the small tourist submarine was launched into the North Atlantic, which will have imploded with five people on board, as announced by the US Coast Guard on Thursday.
The debris was found near that of the Titanic, at a depth of about four thousand meters.
Numerous concerns about the safety of the US company OceanGate’s submersible, known for years, resurfaced this week, as efforts were made to save those on board.
