The wreckage of the Titan submarine had been brought ashore days after it exploded at the bottom of the Atlantic on its journey to the wreck of the Titanic, leaving all five on board including two Pakistanis dead.

Large chunks of metal were unloaded from the vessel Arctic Horizon at the Canadian Coast Guard dock in St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, this morning, reports Daily Mail Wednesday.

The wreckage was quickly covered with a large tarpaulin before being evacuated for expertise.

The Canadian-flagged freighter Polar Prince towed the Titan out to sea but lost contact with it about an hour and 45 minutes after the submarine launched into the depths of the ocean earlier this month.

News of the blast ended a multinational search and rescue operation that had captured the world’s attention since the tourist boat went missing.

The debris field was found on the ocean floor, 1,600 feet from the Titanic’s bow, more than two miles below sea level and 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

Canada, which is assisting in the search for the submarine, said on Saturday it was carrying out its own investigation.

The US Coast Guard said on Sunday it had launched an investigation into the cause of the underwater explosion that destroyed the small submersible Titan, which saw all five people on board disappear while plunging into the wreckage of the Titanic.

The Coast Guard said it has formed a Maritime Board of Inquiry (MBI), the highest level of investigation, into the drama and possible tragedy in the North Atlantic that has captured the world’s attention.

“My main objective is to prevent similar occurrences by making the necessary recommendations to strengthen the security of the maritime domain around the world,” said Jason Neubauer, chief investigator of the Coast Guard and responsible for this investigation, during a conference. press in Boston.

“MBI is already in the initial phase of collecting evidence, including a debris recovery operation at the scene,” he added.

Neubauer said the U.S. investigation could also make recommendations on whether to pursue civil or criminal penalties “if appropriate.”

Titan was reported missing on June 18 and the Coast Guard said on Thursday all five people aboard the submarine died after the vessel suffered a powerful explosion.
