US Coast continues to release new footage revealing more of wreckage in Titan sub implosion

Recently disclosed visuals provide a somber glimpse into the fate of the Titan submersible. 

They show the front portion of the vessel resting on the ocean floor.

The haunting imagery showcases debris resembling the sub’s door and front porthole strewn across the seabed, with a sizable chunk of wreckage embedded in the sand nearby.

Previous footage from the scene showed the remnants of the Titan’s rear section.

The aft tail cone was seen protruding from the seabed at a depth of 3,775 meters.

The emergence of this new footage has raised questions about how significant portions of the sub remained relatively intact.

This is surprising given the catastrophic implosion that resulted in the loss of its occupants.

A physics expert, Arun Bansil from Northeastern University, offered insights into the phenomenon. 

He explained that in cases of implosions or explosions, large objects usually do not disintegrate entirely.

He compared this behavior to a pressure cooker exploding with its top blown off while the main body remains mostly undamaged. 

Bansil pointed out that the initial failure of the Titan likely occurred at weak points in its structure, such as hull defects. 

Once a breach occurred, the extreme forces stopped acting on the larger sections of the hull, allowing them to retain some of their integrity.

Revelations and concerns surrounding the construction and history of the Titan sub

The ongoing public inquiry into the Titan submersible tragedy has been marked by revelations regarding the vessel’s history and construction. 

Details emerged indicating that the submersible was constructed in 2020 without proper registration, certification, or classification, lacking even a unique identification number. 

In addition, no third-party experts inspected the hull of the submersible.

It was also left exposed to weather conditions during storage in 2022 and 2023.

During a previous expedition in 2023, researchers found the Titan partially submerged in the ocean.

This hinted at the tragic events that would later occur.

Testimonies from former employees revealed concerning practices regarding the construction of the submersible. 

They revealed that the team bonded components with adhesive and rushed to launch the vessel without enough confidence in its build.

Its goal was to explore the wreck of the Titanic, located deep in the cold waters off Newfoundland, Canada.

On this exploration, there were several important people. 

They included Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate, the wealthy British entrepreneur Hamish Harding, and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. 

Adding a family touch to the journey were Shahzada and his son Suleman Dawood, both from the Dawood family.

However, as the anticipated return of the submersible approached, anxiety gripped the team and their supporters as the vessel failed to resurface as scheduled. 

In response to the distressing turn of events, the US Coast Guard swiftly mobilized an expansive search and rescue operation to locate the missing submersible and its crew.

Sadly, hope faded as days went by with no sign of the Titan.

On June 22, 2023, officials confirmed that the Titan had met a terrible fate deep in the ocean.
