On June 30, Pelagic, the company that salvaged and salvaged the wreck of the Titan submarine that sank last week, held a press conference in front of the media. Chief executive and search leader Edward Cassano was moved to tears as he described the discovery of the wreck on the ocean floor.
Mr. Cassano said his team used a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) called the Odysseus 6K, which can perform deep-sea salvage missions.
"Shortly after arriving on the seafloor, we discovered the debris of the Titan submersible... by 12 o'clock, a rescue turned into a recovery," Cassano said.
Asked what exactly happened to the Titan, Mr. Cassano said: "They've taken the sub to a depth beyond the permissible limit." As a result, the ship immediately exploded catastrophically, killing all five people on board and It sank on Sunday morning (June 25).
According to the report, it's unclear exactly when or where the explosion occurred, but a U.S. Navy audio system detected "anomalies" on Sunday that could have been Titan's deadly explosion.
A deep-sea robot piloted by the Cassano Corporation spotted the debris. After that, it took the divers an hour and a half to dive into the sea. They're still trying to salvage the wreckage and bring the wreckage of the Titan submersible ashore.
He added: "We were always conscious of the crew of the Titan.
"Plain and simple, we were focused on rescue.”
Asked for his thoughts on the catastrophic accident of the Titan submersible, Mr. Cassano said: "I really don't know." He also shared that the process of salvaging the wreck took many days and the cost of the salvage effort The number of ships is high, but he did not give specific figures.
Speaking while close to tears, he supposed that his entire team was grappling with a multitude of emotions after the disaster.
On June 28, the U.S. rescue force said it had found the wreckage of the missing Titan submersible and the remains of its body on the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
Rescue teams have reportedly managed to recover the wreckage of the Titanic submersible near the wreck of the Titanic following the accident that killed five people.
The successful recovery of debris from the Titan submersible is expected to shed further light on the cause of the catastrophic explosion.
Previously, many experts believed that the explosion was so powerful that the Titan's carbon fiber hull would "suddenly disappear" and gasify. But in fact, the Titan did not collapse as imagined.
OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible, could face federal investigation, a legal expert says.
