After several days of agony, last Thursday the implosion of the Titan was confirmed, an experimental submersible that descended to the bottom of the Atlantic to visit the remains of the Titanic, and the consequent death of its five occupants.
It was a friend of some of the crew members who confirmed to the British media that on Thursday some pieces of the submersible had been found at the bottom of the sea, a short distance from the wreckage of the Titanic, which set off all the alarms.
Within minutes, the company that owns and operates the Titan, OceanGate, confirmed the discovery of the wreckage and the death of its five occupants, and a short time later the US Coast Guard explained that the submersible had suffered an “implosion catastrophic”.
Five days after the tragedy was confirmed, the Titan is still in the news. And it is that this Wednesday the recovered remains of the submersible have arrived at the port of San Juan de Terranova, in Canada, including the bow, the porthole and what appears to be the machinery located in the rear of the vehicle.
The Canadian ship Horizon Arctic, operated by the company to which the Polar Prince, the Titan’s mother ship, also belongs, has recovered the wreckage from the bottom of the Atlantic with the remotely operated vehicle Odysseus.
