Titan Submersible Debris Found Near Titanic Wreck

By Heather Mongilio

This post will be updated as new information is available.

The remains of the Titan submersible were found 1,600 feet away from the wreck of the RMS Titanic in what the Coast Guard is calling a catastrophic implosion.

Speaking at a Thursday afternoon press conference, Rear Adm. John Mauger, commander of the First Coast Guard District, said that parts of the submersible, including the tail cone, were found by a remotely operated vehicle. The debris indicates that the submersible likely experienced a failure, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of the five passengers aboard, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush.

“The debris is consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” he said.

“Upon this determination, we immediately notified the families on behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command… I can only imagine what this has been like for them. And I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.”

The Coast Guard will continue to map the debris field, Paul Hankins, director for salvage operations with the U.S. Navy said during the Thursday press conference.

#2 /\ A very astute point. Not certain we can discuss it without some sort of penalty.

#5 That wouldn't be much drift.
Merciful.

To be fair, we roll to an incident even when its bloody obvious nothing can be done.

#7 "Hunter Biden’s wrist-slap plea deal, the Pentagon’s “accounting error” that is sending billions more to Ukraine, John Durham’s congressional testimony, and yesterday’s IRS whistleblower testimony were all shoved aside form media space by obsessive coverage of the “drama” whose grim conclusion the Navy picked up last Sunday."

Curious coincidence?

US Navy knew of Titan’s implosion on Sunday
