US Coast Guard launches an investigation into the tragedy with the bathyscaphe 'Titan'
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.[Regnum] US Coast Guard Rear Admiral John Mauger told reporters on June 25 that the agency had begun an official investigation into the tragedy of the missing Titan submersible. Moger noted that a commission had been set up to investigate the disappearance of the underwater vehicle, as well as the causes of the death of five people in it. Coast Guard Captain Jason Newbauer will lead the investigation . As reported by IA Regnum, former British Royal Navy submarine captain Ryan Ramsey noted two possible reasons for the crash of the Titan submersible in the Atlantic Ocean. Ramsey suggested that one of the versions of the explosion - the hatch with bolts used to seal the ship - broke, which led to the destruction of the bathyscaphe's hull. The second possible cause of the disaster is that the hull of the underwater vehicle was designed with errors, it could not withstand the water pressure. On June 23, it became known that the people who were in the Titan bathyscaphe died painlessly, and their bodies are unlikely to be found. According to experts, the destruction of the body of the apparatus occurred in a fraction of a millisecond, and people, most likely, did not even have time to realize what had happened. The company sold tourist tickets for the Titan, which descended to the Titanic that sank in the early 20th century, for $250,000. Bathyscaphe disappeared from radar on June 18, almost immediately after the descent. The cause of the explosion could be its faulty batteries. So says the historian of the submarine fleet, captain of the 1st rank, officer of the submarine fleet Nikolai Cherkashin.
