The remains of the Titan were pulled from the bottom of the sea and brought to land, this Wednesday, after the submersible imploded, at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, almost two weeks ago. These newly released images show several pieces of scrap metal being unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship at St. John’s in Canada.
Videos and photos released show a large white piece of curved metal, while another part of the wreckage is littered with wires and other pieces. Before being lifted by cranes, the remains were covered with large tarpaulins.
The removal of these remains comes ten days after the Titan disappeared during a tourist trip organized by OceanGate Expeditions and six days after authorities confirmed the deaths of the five people on board.
Canadian authorities announced last weekend that they will open an investigation into the accident. 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 that dropped, this Sunday, in the North Atlantic, the small tourist submarine, 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 submersible, known for years, resurfaced this week, as efforts were made to save those on board.
