Coast Guard Recovers Titan Debris, Including Potential Human Remains
2023-06-29
By Heather Mongilio

[USNI] The Coast Guard has potentially recovered the remains of the five passengers who died aboard the Titan submersible after it imploded while attempting to visit the wreck of RMS Titanic.

The Coast Guard on Wednesday took possession of debris and evidence from the seafloor belonging to Titan after M/V Horizon Arctic, the ship that deployed a remotely operated vehicle that found pieces of the submersible, arrived in St. Johns, Newfoundland, according to a news release from the Coast Guard.

Horizon Arctic‘s ROV was able to recover pieces of Titan, including its tail cone, which allowed the Coast Guard to conclude that the submersible likely imploded. The Navy’s underwater detection systems also picked up a noise that was likely the Titan implosion.

#1 A morbid question.

At around 12,500 ft. what does an exposed human body look like under about 375 +/-sea level surface atmospheres , the equivalent of 5,500 LBS force psi ?

...A curious, bitter paste.
