The five-day multinational search operation for the Titan submersible has finally ended. Regrettably, informing the world about the destroyed debris of the submarine wreckage. Found by the US Coastal Guard’s remote-controlled underwater search vehicle, which was sent to the ocean floor of the Atlantic. Ruins were lying about 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic and 1300 feet deep. All five occupants of the underwater vessel are declared dead.
The Titanic submarine was carrying five people to the site of the Titanic’s remains when it vanished on Sunday in the North Atlantic Ocean. It dropped off the radar and lost all contact with the Polar Prince, its support ship, after One hour and forty-five minutes of its launch. British Billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, Founder and CEO of operating company OceanGate Stockton Rush, and veteran French Diver Paul Henary Nargeolet were the occupants of the vessel.
According to the US Coast Guard, the submarine was destroyed due to a catastrophic implosion. The implosion, which took the lives of the five crew members of the submersible, transpired with incredible force due to crushing pressure because of vehicle being deeply immersed in ocean. The multinational search operation was joined by the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and France.
The Titan submersible expedition was managed by OceanGate. The company was warned about potential risks and perils by experts years before the tragic accident of Titan. The specialists urged the OceanGate executives to undergo a certification process, but they refused to do so because of their urgency to conduct adventure tourism for the wealthy.
OceanGate’s director of marine operations, David Lochridge, stated in his report that “their is potential dangers to passengers of the Titan as the submersible reached extreme depths.” Instead of heeding the report and addressing it, he was terminated from his position, as reported by the New York Times.
