Almost a week after the Titan submersible left a Canadian port for a sightseeing trip to the ocean floor where the wreck of the Titanic lay, the focus is now on any possible recovery of the debris of the craft or the remains of its pilot and four passengers.
The US Coast Guard announced on Thursday night British billionaire Hamish Harding, UK-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood, the vessel’s American pilot Stockton Rush and French national Paul-Henri Nargeolet were killed instantly in what authorities described as a catastrophic implosion or sudden collapse inwards of the Titan.
As Titan’s main support ship, the Polar Prince, returned to the dock at St John’s in Newfoundland, Canada on Saturday,questions are being asked about where the investigation goes from here.
