WATCH: Presumed human remains and debris from the Titan were recovered from the ocean bottom and brought ashore to Canada on Wednesday (June 28), the United States Coast Guard said.
The possible remains and shattered bits of the submersible Titan, destroyed while diving into the century-old wreck of the Titanic, were carried to St John's, Newfoundland, about 650km north of the accident site, by the Canadian-flagged vessel Horizon Arctic, according to the Coast Guard.
US medical professionals also"will conduct a formal analysis of presumed human remains that have been carefully recovered within the wreckage at the site of the incident", the Coast Guard statement added.Video from the Canadian Broadcast Corp showed what appeared to be the nose of the submersible and other shattered fragments wrapped in a white tarp pulled up by a crane from the deck of the Horizon Arctic on Wednesday morning.
Examination of the debris is expected to shed more light on the cause of the catastrophic implosion that shattered the Titan earlier this month as the 6.7m vessel carried five people on a voyage to the Titanic shipwreck in the North Atlantic. The TSB also said it had"inspected, documented and catalogued" all the materials recovered from the accident site before they were turned over to US authorities.
