Officials have determined the Titan submersible experienced a “catastrophic implosion” when it submerged to view the Titanic wreckage, killing all five passengers aboard. As we previously reported, US Coast Guard announced that they found several parts of the Titan in a “debris field” approximately 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic at the bottom of the sea floor.
As we previously reported, a tourist submarine that went exploring the wreckage of the Titanic, in the Atlantic Ocean went missing. On board were five individuals, including the notable British billionaire, Hamish Harding. Operated by OceanGate Expeditions, the submarine lost communication with the mothership shortly after launching, leading to suspicions that it may be stuck in the wreckage of the iconic Titanic.
The US Coast Guard initiated a search operation, but the challenging conditions of the remote location and debris in the area are making the search difficult. The expedition had a significant purpose – to document the deterioration of the Titanic, which has been slowly succumbing to metal-eating bacteria since its discovery in 1985.
The missing tourist submersible, named Titan, was an essential means for visitors to witness the haunting remains of the Titanic. With UK billionaire Hamish Harding among its passengers, this disappearance has sparked concern and urgency in search efforts.
The US Coast Guard previously described the search as “challenging” due to the remote location of the submersible, which is approximately 900 miles east off Cape Cod. The Titan lost contact with a research vessel during a dive on Sunday morning. It is vital to note that the Titanic sank in 1912 and lies an astonishing 3,800 meters underwater.
After the passing of the passengers a few family members spoke out about what occurred. Wow! So heartbreaking! The older sister of Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood spoke with NBC News and said she feels “absolutely heartbroken” that her brother and her 19-year-old nephew were aboard the Titan vessel.
“I feel very bad that the whole world has had to go through so much trauma, so much suspense,” Azmeh Dawood said in a phone interview Thursday. “I feel like I’ve been caught in a really bad film, with a countdown, but you didn’t know what you’re counting down to,” she said, while fighting back tears. “I personally have found it kind of difficult to breathe thinking of them.”
Azmeh claimed that her nephew did not want to go on the submarine but agreed to take part in the expedition because it was important to his father. Azmeh said her nephew “wasn’t very up for it” and “terrified,” she claimed, explaining that the 19-year-old expressed his concerns to another family member. “If you gave me a million dollars, I would not have gotten into the Titan,” she said.
