Debris from the submarine Titan, which imploded near the Titanic wreck, has arrived on the Canadian mainland. The remains will be passed on to researchers who will look into what went wrong, Canadian media report.
A ship carrying the remains of the Titan arrived Wednesday morning in the harbor of St. John’s, in eastern Canada. The remains were hoisted to a truck with a crane, according to news channel CBC. It would include a side panel and possibly the nose of the submarine.
The Titan went missing earlier this month as it descended towards the 1912 sinking ship Titanic. Only later did it appear that an implosion had taken place. Why the vessel collapsed under the high pressure deep in the ocean is not known. None of the five occupants survived.
Operation completed successfully
The owner of the underwater robot that found the Titan half a kilometer from the Titanic last week has told Canadian media that his team has successfully completed the operation in the Atlantic Ocean. The company says it cannot make any further statements because of the investigations, reports the daily newspaper The Globe and Mail. The investigation into the Titan is being conducted by the US and Canadian authorities in the field of transport safety. The US Coast Guard and the police in Canada are also investigating what went wrong with the submarine.
