After the confirmed deaths of the five occupants of the submarine “Titan” at the wreck of the “Titanic”, Canada has launched an investigation into the tragedy. The Canadian Traffic Safety Authority (TSB) announced it would conduct “a safety investigation into the circumstances of this operation”. The “Titan”, operated by the private company Oceangate, was brought to its location by a Canadian-flagged mothership. Therefore, Canada is responsible for the investigation.
A team of investigators was sent to St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, according to the TSB. They are charged with collecting information, conducting interviews and evaluating the incident. In the coming days, activities should be coordinated with other agencies involved, it said.
After the disappearance of the “Titan” on Sunday, the US Coast Guard, with the help of Canadian troops in particular, launched a large-scale search about 700 kilometers south of the Canadian island of Newfoundland. The wreckage of the vehicle was discovered just 500 meters from the bow of the wreckage of the “Titanic”. So it was clear: the five occupants, including Oceangate boss Stockton Rush, were dead. Everything indicates that the boat’s hull succumbed to the enormous water pressure and imploded. The “Titanic” lies at a depth of about 3,800 meters on the seabed. The luxury liner sank in 1912.
According to several experts, the submarine’s developers and operators circumvented accepted standards and ignored warnings. According to media reports, a letter from the organization Marine Technology Society (MTS) warned as early as 2018 about the experimental nature of the tourism offer and that the trips could end in disaster. Former British submarine captain Ryan Ramsay told the PA news agency that the hatch, which was supposed to be sealed from the outside with 17 screws, may have been faulty. Another possibility is that there was a previous failure in the pressure hull itself.
