Titan Submersible Investigation: Descending into the depths of the sea, the remains of the accident-hit tourist submarine Titan, showing the wreckage of the Titanic ship, are being brought to the shore. The wreckage of the submarine was unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship at the port in St John’s, Canada on Wednesday (June 28).
After the accident, the pieces of the submarine have been seen for the first time. Some of its pictures have also come to the fore. On June 18, there was an accident due to an explosion in the Titan submarine. All the five people aboard had lost their lives.
Pictures showed pieces of metal covered with tarpaulin before being lifted onto trucks by crane. According to BBC report, US Coast Guard officials have said that the submarine’s landing frame and rear cover have been found in the wreckage.
The wreckage of the submarine was at a depth of 12,500 feet.
The wreckage of the submarine was at a depth of about 12,500 feet under water, which was about 1,600 feet from the Titanic on the ocean floor. The US Coast Guard said the submarine’s wreckage comes as investigators from the US, Canada, France and Britain work together to investigate the June 18 accident in an inhospitable area of the North Atlantic.
What did the US Coast Guard say?
Captain Jason Neubauer, the US Coast Guard’s chief investigator, said without sharing the timeline of the investigation that the crash site has been mapped. He said that the final report will be issued to the International Maritime Organisation. With this, he said, “My primary goal is to prevent a similar incident by making necessary recommendations to advance the security of maritime zones around the world.”
Remotely operated vehicle used
The Canadian ship Horizon Arctic took a Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) to find the pieces of the submarine. According to the AP report, this ROV belongs to Pelagic Research Services Company, which has offices in Massachusetts and New York.
The company said it has completed off-shore operations and its team is still on the mission. The company said that it does not want to comment on the ongoing investigation regarding Titan.
