First photos released of recovered Titan submersible wreckage

by



The first photos were released of the pieces from the Titan submersible wreckage more than a week after a “catastrophic implosion” killed all five passengers on board. NBC News’ Ron Allen reports on what parts were recovered and what the U.S. Coast Guard will focus on in its investigation of the accident.

  1. It's in International Waters, right? That's going to make prosecution hard especially if the passengers signed contacts waiving certain rights. I think they company should be investigated and prosecuted but I'm not sure if it'll happen. Also improbable but perhaps we should bury sea-graves. Barges of sand dumped over the wreckages. The Chinese are currently stealing metal from old battleship graves and there's got to be many more instances of tomb robbing and morbid tourism going on globally. One of my relatives was the band leader on the Titanic and he went down with the ship doing his duty like thousands of other sailors. Respect the dead and let them rest, you too will lay down for the last time one day.

  6. The implosion will, obviously, affect the parts where there is a pressure differential. That is the pressure vessel itself. All items around and outside were at equal pressure with the ambiant water. No reason for them to be flattened(bent , warped or ripped yes) like the carbon fiber chamber and everything that was inside. Not surprising tat all o find large pieces and assemblies.

  7. I have no money or passion to pursue deep sea adventure so I had no interest or knowledge about it but, I'm very impressed that they found the wreckage within a month of the accident.

  10. The crew compartment was the only area that was kept near 1 atmospheric pressure and subjected to the tremendous pressure difference that resulted in the implosion. The rest of the craft pieces were at the same pressure as the depth that they were at and were just flung away from the implosion.

  14. Something is fishy! A catastrophic implosion .. but those chunky pieces. Look at the eye (it’s all intact)… maybe because it’s made from the same material!? Look at the landing brace or frame, all there and together.. hmmmmm

  15. A very tragic end to all involved. We as humans all push the boundary;s wanting to accomplish and understand. Without these great explorers ,as al would still think the earth flat. SINCERE SYMPATHY TO ALL INVOLVED & THOSE WHO LOST THEIR LIVES

  17. The company that operated the doomed submersible that imploded in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean is still advertising expeditions to the Titanic wreckage on its website.!!

  22. I question the stability of the submarine even if the center hull was metal. It's a poor design for a vehicle that has to handle and absolutely incredible amount of pressure. Making part of it straight is the first mistake. But the fact the end bolts on seems like it would make the vehicle even weaker from a structural standpoint. Then you make it carbon fiber. Even if it was metal It would have to be insanely thick

  24. and once again a sociopathic narcissist who happens to have (had) a lot of money was able to convince likely other sociopaths (other than the kid ) to feed their egos and the result was this.

  31. 13th journey… the unlucky number! 😅 Anyway, did they found the bodies? Also if you are warned that the whole thing is a bad idea, but all you hear is money and innovation… welp prep the grave, the dude is deaf.
