“I’ve often heard it described as happening faster than the brain can process what’s happening,” says a journalist who has written extensively about deep sea exploration.
Details:
- The five passengers aboard the Titan likely “died instantly” when the submersible imploded during a journey to the Titanic.
- Multiple pieces of the missing sub were located near the Titanic while a remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) from the Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic searched the area on Thursday, Coast Guard officials said at a press conference in Boston on Thursday 06/22/23.
- The Horizon Arctic discovered the Titan’s tail cone about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic, United States Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger said.
- Additional debris was found that is “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
- Passengers likely did not have time to react to an implosion, according to journalist Josh Dean, who has written extensively about deep sea exploration.
- An implosion would have likely been caused by the failure of the Titan’s pressure housing.
- The location of the Titan’s wreckage was “consistent with the location of last communication for an implosion” in the water, as said by Paul Hankins, the US Navy’s director of salvage operations and ocean engineering.
- “Five different major pieces of debris” were found that told experts that the sub experienced a catastrophic event, Hankins said.
- The nose cone was found first, followed by “a large debris field” where crews found the front end bell of the pressure hull.
- Crews also found a second, smaller debris field in which they found the other end of the pressure hull, he added.
- Even if the sub hadn’t imploded, there is no machine or system on earth capable of saving people at that depth.
