Some wreckage has been found in the area where the Titanic was. It is not confirmed whether the debris belongs to the Titan spacecraft. The information was released by the US Coast Guard. Officials will meet the media tomorrow at 3 pm. It is reported that more information about Titan will be known tomorrow. (Debris field found near Titanic)
Titan is a submarine owned by Oceangate Expeditions, a private company that organizes deep-sea expeditions.
British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani tycoon Shahzada Dawood, his son Sulaiman, the CEO of a submersible company, and a pilot were on board the submarine. Tourists went on an eight-day expedition to see the remains of the Titanic sunk in the Atlantic Ocean. 2,50,000 dollars (about two crore Indian rupees) was paid by each traveler for this adventure.
That trip was on June 18. It is estimated that one dive close to the Titanic took about eight hours. Titan, separated from the mothership as part of its search for Titan, plunged into the depths and ceased to signal within two hours. Since then, there has been no communication with Titan. Authorities smelled danger after losing communication from the Titan. Then there was an attempt to find Titan.

Searching the more than two-mile-deep North Atlantic Ocean, which spans 7,600 square miles (20,000 square kilometers) is not easy. ‘It is dark in the depths of the ocean. Bleedingly cold. Even if you hold your hand to your face, you won’t see it’ – Titanic expert Tim Maltin told NBC News. He says that ocean exploration is similar to going into space.
Keele University Professor Jamie Pringley says the ocean floor is not as flat as it appears in images, but has many hills and valleys. In addition to this, the pressure is 400 times higher than on land at a depth of four kilometers under water. This pressure, he says, puts stress on the equipment and very few submarines can withstand this pressure. Nuclear submarines typically only operate at depths of 300 meters.
Victor 6000 shines a silver lining on mission Titan with fading hopes Experts hope Victor 6000, an underwater robot capable of probing the ocean deeper than submarines can reach, will bring the elusive Titan back. Able to dive to depths of up to 20,000 feet, the Victor can effortlessly rescue stranded ships.
Victor’s arrival is no small relief, despite suspicions that the Titan might be trapped between the giant propellers of the RMS Titanic. Victor weighs four and a half tons. Victor may not be able to get Titan to the surface if he can find him, but Victor can connect Titan to the cable from the surface.
Victor is manned by a 25-man crew aboard the French ship Atalante. This 25-member team is on duty non-stop for 72 hours. Connected by an 8km long cable from Atlanta, Victor can also operate non-stop. Victor is moving at a speed of 1 km per hour. Victor was built in 1999 at a cost of 1,30,000 Euros.
The former employee’s revelation that the cause of the Titan accident was due to insufficient safety was discussed. And an onboard video has also surfaced, bolstering allegations that the entire submarine was controlled by a video game controller purchased from Amazon for just Rs 3,757.
