The Wreckage of The Titanic Tourist Submarine Has Been Successfully Evacuated

The wreckage of the Titanic tourist submarine named Titan, which was operated by OceanGate Expeditions, has been successfully lifted from the sea.

The submarine carrying five people exploded at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean during a mission to explore the wreck of the Titanic.

The five passengers, who were important figures, died in the incident.

The wreckage of the submarine named Titan was unloaded from the Arctic Horizon ship in St. John's, Newfoundland, Canada, on Wednesday (28/6) local time.

Within the wreckage are believed to be the remains of the occupants of the Titan submarine.

The US Coast Guard said US medical professionals would conduct a formal analysis of the alleged remains.

It is believed that the bodies found were not intact and contained only the remains of body parts.

The five passengers on the Titan submarine died after a powerful explosion near the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean, just 1 hour and 45 minutes after Titan dived.

"United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of any suspected human remains that have been found in the wreckage of the submarine at the incident site," a US Coast Guard spokeswoman said.

Experts estimate that the victims, including three Britons—billionaire Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son Suleman—died in the incident.

The other victim was 77-year-old French explorer Paul-Henri.

The last known name is that of the CEO of OceanGate, which operated the submarine Titan for the purpose of observing the wreck of the Titanic.

"Evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with the causes of this tragedy," said Captain Jason Neubauer, chairman of the Marine Board of Investigation (MBI).

Jason added that after this process, there is still a lot of work to be done.

"There is still a lot of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the explosion of Titan and help ensure a similar tragedy does not happen again," continued Jason.

About ten parts of the Titan submarine have reportedly been recovered from the Arctic Horizon ship after being lifted from the sea.

The debris was quickly covered with a large tarpaulin before being lifted by a crane and hauled away by truck.

Experts have found human remains from the Titanic tourist submarine that exploded while diving into the wreck.

The accident left five aboard the Titan submarine, according to the United States Coast Guard.

"United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of the suspected human remains that have been carefully recovered," the agency said.

The Titan tour ship carried five passengers, including British explorer Hamish Harding, French submarine expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani-British tycoon Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and Stockton Rush, CEO of submarine operator OceanGate Expeditions.

They probably died instantly when Titan, which was about the size of an SUV, exploded under the pressure in the North Atlantic.

Titan disintegrated at a depth of more than 3.2 kilometers.

Destroyed debris recovered from the Titan submarine put an end to a difficult search and recovery operation.

The debris will be taken on board a US Coast Guard cutter to a US port for further analysis, the organization said.

There is still much work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of Titan and to help ensure a similar tragedy does not happen again," said Captain Jason Neubauer, the lead US investigator into the tragedy.

Television images showed the shape of a Titan submarine's nose cone and side panels with electronics.

Cables hang to hoist the remains of the ship onto flatbed trucks at the Canadian Coast Guard terminal in St. John's, Newfoundland.

Pelagic Research is a New York company looking for a submarine.

Offshore search and recovery operations have been completed.

Canadian officials declined to comment on the search for the sub's wreckage.

Titan was reported missing on June 18, 2023.

The US Coast Guard said last Thursday that all aboard died when the ship suffered a massive explosion.

The wreckage was found on the ocean floor, 1,600 feet (500 m) from the bow of the Titanic, which is more than two miles below sea level and 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland.
