Presumed Human Remains, Debris From Titan Submersible Discovered By Coast Guard

The United States Coast Guard announced that it had discovered the remaining debris, from the Titan submersible which imploded in June, including “presumed human remains.”

Marine Safety Engineers from the ⚓U.S. Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigations (MBI) revealed in a press statement on Tuesday that they had “recovered and transferred” the remaining debris from the Titan submersible with five people that imploded on its way down to the 🚢Titanic.

“The recovered evidence was successfully transferred to a U.S. port for cataloging and analysis,” the ⚓U.S. Coast Guard wrote in its statement. “Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan’s debris and transported for analysis by U.S. medical professionals.”

“The salvage mission, which was conducted under an existing agreement with U.S. Navy Supervisor of Salvage & Diving, was a follow-up to initial recovery operations following the loss of the Titan submersible,” the statement continued. “Investigators from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada joined the salvage expedition as part of their respective safety investigations.”
