BREAKING: The U.S. coast guard says it will conduct a formal analysis of what it calls 'presumed human remains' that have been recovered from the wreckage area of the Titan submersible.
The Titan's nose cone was recovered from the sea floor, and handed over to investigators Wednesday in St. John's.
"The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy," said Jason Neubauer, chair of the Marine Board of Investigation. The remnants of the submersible — those pieces of carbon fibre and titanium — will now be turned over to investigators to figure out what went wrong. Transportation safety boards from the United States and Canada, as well as the U.S. Coast Guard and RCMP are now probing the incident.
"The Titan is only one component of the failure," Poisson said. "There could be multiple human factors involved that helped create the causes, conditions and contributing factors to the accident."
