Titan sub’s debris brought ashore in Canada ten days after it suffered ‘catastrophic implosion’ in the Atlantic Ocean
Titan sub’s debris was brought ashore in Canada on Wednesday.
The development comes ten days after it suffered a catastrophic implosion 12,500ft below in the Atlantic Ocean near the Titanic wreckage.
As reported, the large chunks of metal were unloaded from the Horizon Arctic ship at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St John’s, Newfoundland, Canada, this morning.
According to the news source, the team handling the procedure quickly covered the recovered portions in large tarpaulins before being lifted by cranes onto trucks and took them away for assessment.

The pieces included a large, white section of curved metal, while another object was full of cables and other mechanical parts.
Titan submersible vanished during a tourist trip run by OceanGate Expeditions ten days ago.
All five people aboard a missing submersible were declared dead as the submarine had a catastrophic implosion, most likely due to the low-quality carbon fiber hull of the sub.
Coast Guard officials confirmed in a statement that all the passengers died on the spot in a catastrophic implosion after the debris of the missing submarine was found on June 23.
An unmanned deep-sea robot deployed from a Canadian ship discovered the wreckage of the submersible on Thursday morning about 1,600 feet (488 meters) from the bow of the century-old wreck, 2-1/2 miles (4 km) below the surface.
The deceased included British billionaire and explorer Hamish Harding, 58; Pakistani-born business magnate Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son, Suleman, both British citizens; French oceanographer and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who had visited the wreck dozens of times; and Stockton Rush, the American founder and chief executive of OceanGate, who was piloting the submersible.
