Titan brought back to shore

The diving Titan submersible vessel, underwater

Debris from the destroyed Titan submersible and “presumed human remains” have been brought ashore in Newfoundland, Canada, after being recovered from the sea floor, the US Coast Guard said yesterday. The 5 people on board were killed when the sub imploded on a voyage to the Titanic a couple of weeks ago. The Horizon Arctic ship used a remotely operated vehicle, or ROV, to search the seafloor and located the debris about 3,810m underwater and 488m away from the infamous shipwreck. Images of the recovered debris show pieces of the sub, including the hull, porthole and landing frame. Those will now be analysed by US investigators, which is hoped will give some key insights into what happened to the Titan and possible electronic data. And US medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of the remains, officials said.
