Titan submersible wreckage brought ashore after fatal implosion
Pelagic Research Services, the company serving as the primary in the Titan submersible rescue operation revealed details of the recovery mission in a press conference on Friday.
CEO Edward Cassano said his company’s remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) arrived on the scene being one of the only machines that could reach the depths of the Titanic wreckage.
Mr Cassano held back tears as he described that just hours after arriving, Pelagic Research Services found debris from the OceanGate Expeditions’ imploded sub.
“Recognise the seriousness of the event and respect the death and range of emotions,” Mr Cassano said.
Five people were killed in the sub, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French diving expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood.
It comes as “presumed human remains” have been discovered near the wreck of the Titan submarine, the US Coast Guard announced on Wednesday.
The remains will be brought back to the US and analysed as part of the wider international investigation into what went wrong during the catastrophic voyage to the Titanic shipwreck earlier this month.
Elon Musk suggests the connection between Starlink and the sub was a ‘psyop’
Elon Musk, the CEO of Twitter and SpaceX, responded to a tweet made by Snopes, suggesting the connection between Starlink and the sub was a “psyop.”
The company operating the sub, OceanGate Expeditions, previously tweeted their appreciation for Mr Musk’s Starlink service — provided through SpaceX — which allowed them to access the internet while adventuring in the North Atlantic Ocean.
“Despite being in the middle of the North Atlantic, we have the internet connection we need to make our #Titanic dive operations a success – thank you @Starlink!” the company tweeted earlier this month.
Mr Musk responded to a tweet made by Snopes post pointing out that he is the CEO of SpaceX, which provides the Starlink service.

Voices: The Titanic submersible disaster was an accident waiting to happen
“Whether the Titan is missing because of deficiencies in design and construction or because of mistakes made by its operator – Rush – may be lost to history if the submersible is never found. The lesson of the Titanic, however, is that it can be both. Had Captain Edward Smith reduced the ship’s speed, perhaps it could have navigated the icy waters better. Had the ship been equipped with enough lifeboats for passengers, or had fewer of the watertight compartments been breached, perhaps more lives could have been saved.”
