Investigators from multiple countries are collaborating on the probe into the implosion of the Titan submersible near the Titanic wreck, while efforts to involve a remote-operated submarine capable of reaching the site are underway. All planned expeditions to the Titanic wreck have been called off following the tragedy, and experts believe future expeditions may be grounded indefinitely. A former Navy doctor revealed that the victims would have died instantly and painlessly in the catastrophic implosion. The US Navy has discontinued the use of a large salvage system in the recovery efforts. A friend of Hamish Harding's wife worked behind the scenes to involve a remote-operated vehicle in the search, while the owners of the submersible may seek to limit liability under 1851 legislation. James Cameron knew about the implosion before it was publicly announced, and a former passenger revealed a previous malfunction of the Titan submersible.
