The world’s largest media have published footage of the wreckage of the sunken bathyscaphe “Titan” en route to the sunken “Titanic”, reports Sky News.
The wreckage of the Titan submersible was brought ashore after it exploded on the bottom of the Atlantic nearly two weeks ago.
The publication clarifies that the wreckage was lifted with a tarpaulin, and then with cranes. The discovered parts of the bathyscaphe were delivered by the ship Horizon Arctic. They were unloaded at the Canadian Coast Guard Pier in the port of St. John’s (Newfoundland).
One photo shows a large white fragment of bent metal, while another shows debris filled with cables and other mechanical parts.
Recall that the wreckage of the bathyscaphe was discovered on June 22, a few hundred meters from the remains of the Titanic liner, which were the goal of the Titan expedition. All five people who were in the bathyscaphe were declared dead.
“The suspected human remains will be transported to the United States, where medical officials will conduct a formal analysis, and the Coast Guard has already convened an investigation into the explosion at the highest level,” US Coast Guard Chief Captain Jason Neubauer said.
He also noted that the Maritime Investigation Board will analyze and verify the wreckage and other evidence at the US port, the source said.
The US Coast Guard said the nature of the wreckage of the bathyscaphe is indicative of an explosion. Earlier it was reported that the Transportation Safety Board of Canada announced the launch of an investigation into the incident on the bathyscaphe “Titan”.
Earlier, the US Coast Guard reported the discovery of possible remains of the bodies of passengers who died on board the Titan.
