More Human Remains Found From The Titan Submersible Near The Titanic Wreck

Nearly four months after the Titan submersible imploded on June 18, the U.S. Coast Guard believes it has found more human remains of the five submarine passengers onboard.

In what was likely a final attempt to salvage the bodies, the Coast Guard has recovered more “presumed human remains” retrieved from inside the debris field. The remains are set to be cataloged and analyzed by the Coast Guard’s medical professionals to make an official determination.

Since the incident, the US, Canada, UK and France have been leading an investigation to find and recover the remains of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son 19-year-old Sulaiman Dawood.

Rush had charged each passenger $250,000 per ticket for the experience. He claimed that the Titan’s design would meet or exceed industry standards for subs.

A professional trade group flagged this as false marketing, warning Rush of the “catastrophic” outcomes if he were to proceed with the project.

As the experts predicted, the submersible failed to resurface due to an implosion of the pressure chamber. Investigators believe that it only took about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive for the submarine to implode.

Rush’s company, OceanGate, has since gone out of business.

Ten days after the implosion, the first remains were found, but no bodies.

Marine safety engineers went to the ocean floor to recover the remains but also discovered the 22-foot vessel with an intact titanium endcap. The debris was only 1,600 feet from the Titanic.
