OceanGate Expeditions, the company behind the fatal trip of the Titan submersible to the Titanic wreckage, has suspended all commercial and exploratory operations. The move comes after the submersible suffered a fatal implosion, resulting in the death of all five people on board. The company, which offered tours of the Titanic wreckage, has faced scrutiny over safety protocols following the incident.
A Subway sign in Rincon, Georgia, sparked controversy on social media with its phrase "Our subs don't implode," seemingly making light of the recent implosion of the Titan submersible near the Titanic wreckage that claimed five lives. The sign has since been removed, and the store manager declined to comment further.
An international investigation is underway into the implosion of the Titan submersible, which was on a dive to visit the wreckage of the Titanic. Debris from the submersible, including presumed human remains, has been found. The use of a carbon fiber hull is suspected to have led to the implosion, as carbon fiber may not be able to withstand the extreme pressures at great depths. Despite the tragedy, the company behind the submersible is still advertising dives to the Titanic for 2024.
"Presumed human remains" have been found within the wreckage of the Titan submersible, which imploded in the North Atlantic, killing all five crew members. The remains, along with other evidence, were recovered from the seafloor and will be analyzed by US medical professionals. The company that operated the submersible has completed its offshore work, while the investigation into the cause of the implosion continues. The US Coast Guard has convened a Marine Board of Investigation to collect evidence and interview witnesses, with the aim of preventing similar tragedies in the future.
The Coast Guard has launched an investigation into the implosion of the Titan sub, which was attempting a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic with five people on board. The investigation will include authorities from Canada, France, and the United Kingdom. Investigators will look into possible misconduct, incompetence, negligence, unskillfulness, or willful violation of law by OceanGate, the company that operated the Titan, or by the Coast Guard itself. The U.S. Navy will not be using the Flyaway Deep Ocean Salvage System to assist in retrieving debris. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has also begun an investigation into the incident.
The US Coast Guard will continue searching the sea floor near the Titanic shipwreck for more clues about what happened to the Titan submersible, which vanished while taking five people down to the wreck of the Titanic. The Coast Guard says the Titan submersible likely imploded in the North Atlantic waters and there were no survivors among the five people aboard. The search for the Titan submersible has drawn attention to other deep-sea rescues, only some of which ended in lives being saved. The unsuccessful efforts have “really opened up people’s eyes that we need a much more robust capability over larger areas of the ocean to be able to detect and sense where things are,” said Nick Rotker, who leads underwater research for non-profit research and development company MITRE.
A deadly head-on crash on Dillard Road in Sacramento County left two people dead and a young child with major injuries. The Coast Guard, Navy, and crews from Canada and other countries are racing to find and recover a submerged watercraft exploring the Titanic's remains in the North Atlantic. CAL FIRE is conducting a prescribed burn in El Dorado County to reduce fire danger, but experts warn that seeing smoke and flames may bring up complex feelings for those who have experienced traumatic wildfires in the area. Sacramento police are investigating a deadly shooting that killed a wheelchair-bound man and another person.
