suspicions confirmed
Rear Admiral John Mauger announced that the remains of Titan only 488 meters from the rubble of the bow of the Titanica large ocean liner that has been in place since 1912 when it sank on its maiden voyage.
According to the authority, these remains found by a remote-controlled vehicle of the Horizon Arctic company are evidence “consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”
“We immediately notified the families,” the rear admiral said at the briefing from Boston. “On behalf of the Coast Guard of the United States and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences.”
It is also noted that the next phase would be to ensure that the families of the crew members on board the submarine Titan “understand as quickly as possible what happened and begin to find closure.”
“We will begin demobilizing personnel and vessels from the scene over the course of the next 24 hours. But we are going to continue with remote operations at the bottom of the sea,” he added.

More details are still unknown
At the moment, it is too early to know more details of the implosion.
According to Mauger, “it is too soon” to know when the disaster took place. “We know this because we have been conducting this search over the course of the last 72 hours. Beyond that, we have had sonar buoys in the water almost continuously and have not detected any catastrophic events when those buoys have been in the water.”
In fact, he also noted that “there does not appear to be any connection” between the underwater noises detected in the search and rescue mission and the location on the seabed.
What has been ruled out is that Titan have collided with him Titanic. “It’s a smooth bottom there. As far as I know and from everything I’ve seen, there are no remains of the Titanic in that area,” says Carl Hartsville of the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution.
