“Suspicious human remains” have been discovered among the wreckage of the missing Atlantic tourist submersible near the wreck of the Titanic, the US Coast Guard said in a statement Wednesday.
These remains, “carefully collected from the wreckage at the crash site,” as well as the debris found will be analyzed, which should provide “crucial elements to understand the cause of this tragedy,” said Jason Neubauer, who is leading the investigation for the Coast Guard. in the matter.
An “extremely risky” operation
Earlier in the day, Canadian media showed parts of what appeared to be the nose and parts of the hull of the submersible being hoisted on a Canadian Coast Guard ship in St., eastern Canada.
One of the managers at Pelagic Research Services, which had deployed its underwater robot (ROV) to scan the bottom of the Atlantic, confirmed that it had completed its operations.
“We have finished our part at sea,” his spokesman, Jeff Mahoney, told AFP.
“This was an extremely risky operation, both for the ROV and for the crew who worked around the clock with virtually no sleep during the operation,” he continued, confirming that all equipment is now returning to the United States.
