Parts of Titan submersible brought ashore: Know everything in detail
Among the submersible debris were the presumed human remains of the five passengers that were killed on board due to the implosion after it went missing on June 18.
A submersible operated by OceanGate company, The Titan, was on a tourist trip to the Titanic wreckage before disappearing on June 18. Four days later, after days of search, it was found in pieces 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic wreck. Experts believe a catastrophic implosion behind the tragedy. All five members on board were declared dead. (Image: Reuters)

According to the Coast Guard, the potential remains and smashed pieces of the submersible Titan were taken by the Canadian-flagged vessel Horizon Arctic to St John's, Newfoundland, about 650 km north of the accident's location. It will be taken to a US port for further testing and analysis by a marine board of investigation to launch a formal examination into its disappearance. The examination will give an in-depth idea about what could have been the possible causes of the implosion. (Image: Reuters)
While conducting its own investigation, Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) announced that its inspectors had concluded interviewing the members of Titan's Canadian-flagged surface support vessel, Polar Prince, and had taken the vessel's journey data recorder. (Image: Reuters)
