Of the “presumed human remains” were discovered among the wreckage of the submersible Titan, the US Coast Guard announced on Wednesday, June 28. The tourist submarine had disappeared with five people on board in the North Atlantic, near the wreck of the titanic. The debris of the machine as well as these remains, “carefully collected from the wreckage at the crash site”, will be analyzed, said the chief investigator. These analyzes should provide “crucial elements of understanding the cause of this tragedy”.
“Much work remains to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of ‘Titan’ and help ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.”

THE Titana small submersible about 6.5 meters long and operated by the private company OceanGate, was the victim of a “catastrophic implosion”, according to the first elements of the investigation carried out by the American authorities. Another investigation was opened by Canada, which had participated in the search to find the device.
Debris, found 500 m from the wreck of the Titanic and at a depth of nearly 4,000 m, was brought back to earth on Wednesday, in Saint John of Newfoundland (Canada). They should now be transferred by a US Coast Guard vessel to a port in the United States, where investigators can analyze them.
