Titan sub: ‘Presumed human stays’ present in seek for particles

Debris from the Titan submersible has been recovered – together with “presumed human remains”, the US Coast Guard has stated.

Marine security engineers say recent proof has been gathered from the seafloor of the North Atlantic Ocean, 4 months after the doomed vessel went lacking.

The particles is now being analysed by US medical professionals as an investigation into the tragedy continues.

News that the vessel had gone lacking had sparked a frantic four-day search to avoid wasting these on board, but all five passengers died.

Father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French sub pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, the chief government of the corporate that owned the submersible, had been killed when the vessel suffered a catastrophic implosion.

The Marine Board of Investigation has beforehand stated it hopes its inquiry will “help ensure that a similar tragedy does not occur again”.

Hopes of a rescue had been dashed when an space of particles was discovered about 500m (1,600ft) from the Titanic.
