Engineers from the Marine Board of Investigation, tasked with examining the incident, carried out a delicate underwater operation on October 4.
Their goal was to recover remains of the Titan submersible that were on the Atlantic seabed, the AP indicated.
Among the debris, possible human remains have been found, which adds a chilling twist to the ongoing investigation.
In an official statement, the Coast Guard reported that the suspected human remains recovered have been transferred for analysis to US medical professionals.
Recovery of Titan wreckage
This revelation has sparked increased interest in the investigation as experts from the US National Transportation Safety Board collaborate to find answers.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has also joined the recovery expedition.
As engineers continue to analyze evidence and interview witnesses, a public hearing is expected to be held to address this tragic catastrophe.
The US Coast Guard had officially announced the start of an investigation on June 25.
Determining the cause of the Titan’s implosion
This investigation was carried out with the objective of determining the causes of the Titan’s implosion.
Simultaneously, Canadian authorities are carrying out their own investigation with the same purpose in mind, to prevent a similar event from happening again in the future.
The committee of experts working on this investigation is grappling with the complexity of the incident and is dedicated to deciphering the mysteries surrounding the implosion.
Let us remember that this terrible event occurred on June 18 of this year.
Titan submersible update: International cooperation
In addition to unraveling the mystery, these engineers will be able to make recommendations to the relevant authorities.
Their conclusions could lead to possible civil or criminal sanctions.
The search for answers began with the discovery of debris near the area where the remains of the Titanic lie on June 22.
Later, it was confirmed that these remains corresponded to the external structure of the Titan submersible, which carried five people to the ocean floor.
The background of the Titan submersible tragedy
Among the passengers on the Titan were the millionaire Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, a 19-year-old student.
Also on board were British explorer Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet and the CEO of OceanGate, Stockton Rush.
OceanGate, the company that developed the submersible and operated the expeditions, announced the suspension of all its commercial operations.
It also canceled scouting trips in July in response to this unprecedented tragedy.
Challenges in deep ocean travel
The Titan offered its passengers the opportunity to participate in an eight day excursion.
This included a dive, lasting approximately ten hours, to the site where the Titanic is located, at a depth of 3,800 meters.
The famous ship sank in 1912 after colliding with an iceberg, and this tragedy has once again highlighted the dangers of the ocean.
