Implosion of the submarine near the Titanic: the terrible drama leads to a big decision Dailymotion
The sequel after the ad
After days of worry and suspense, Thursday June 22, 2023, we learned that all the passengers of the Titan died. They had been missing since June 18 when they went to observe the wreckage of the Titanic. An international tragedy that claimed five victims: Paul-Henri Nargeolet – French scientist, who had been the director of one of the first research missions on the wreck of the Titanic -, Shahzada Dawood, who was accompanied by his son Suleman ( 19), Hamish Harding and Stockton Rush, the pilot of the submarine and boss of the company OceanGate which organized the trip.
Almost a month after the tragedy, the American company OceanGate announced on Thursday July 6 that it had “suspended its explorations and commercial operations” in a message on its website. It must be said that the company had been very criticized after the tragedy, with doubts emerging about the safety of the device. It had been said in particular that a window located at the front of the he device had been designed to withstand pressure at a depth of 1,300 meters and not at 4,000 meters. Images had also shown that the device was driven with a controller worthy of that of a game console and that the system of guidance was via Wi-Fi and SMS.
Research that had shocked some
Farewell, therefore, for tourists in search of adventure – and with well-filled wallets – the possibility of observing the most famous ocean liner in the world. Moreover, the means deployed for the operation to rescue the missing from the Titan had ulcerated several people like Hélène, the woman Omar Sy who had made it clear that never so much money would be spent to save migrants.
Regarding the victims, the submarine having imploded, there is a good chance that we will never find the bodies, or even not even a trace of DNA because the latter would have been “literally pulverized by the force of the sea” and this by 4000 meters of depth. “If you have the slightest crack, the slightest hole, the water will rush extremely brutally into the submarine. It will then be brutally invaded by the pressure and the shock is such that the structure will complete dismantling.“, declared Vice-Admiral Jean-Louis Vichot.
A macabre and terrible end which therefore marks the suspension of OceanGate’s explorations and commercial operations. But is it a definitive end?
