Pieces of shattered Titanic submersible brought ashore in Canada
OTTAWA: A Canadian-flagged ship on Wednesday brought ashore debris from the Titan submersible that imploded while on a voyage to the century-old wreck of the Titanic earlier this month, killing all five people on board.
Video from the Canadian Broadcast Corporation showed what appeared to be the nose of the submersible and other shattered fragments wrapped in white tarp pulled up by a crane off the Horizon Arctic vessel at the St John's harbor in Newfoundland on Wednesday morning. The debris is expected to shed more light on the cause of the catastrophic implosion that killed everyone on board - OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush; British billionaire Hamish Harding; Pakistani-born businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Suleman; and French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.The US Coast Guard said that "presumed human remains" have been recovered from the remains of the wrecked sub.
"United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of presumed human remains that have been carefully recovered," the agency said in a statement.
