What Follows After The Titanic Sub Search?

The extensive search operation that was undertaken in the seas of the Atlantic Ocean has new priorities now that it has been confirmed that all of the crew members aboard the submersible that went missing during a dive to the Titanic over a week ago have died.

On Thursday afternoon, the US Coast Guard said that all five of the personnel aboard had died in what was likely a “catastrophic implosion” of the OceanGate Titan sub.

However, there are still many unanswered concerns about what actually occurred, and moving forward, all efforts will be made to attempt and address these.

Whether or if the US Coast Guard would be able to find the victims’ bodies was something Rear Adm Mauger said he couldn’t affirm.

He declared, “This is a really cruel place.

The affluent British businessmen Hamish Harding and Shahzada Dawood, whose son Suleman traveled with him to Titan, were on board.

Along with former French naval diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush was a member of the crew.

There is currently no system in place for handling occurrences involving submersibles, so it is unclear which agency will oversee the probe.

How will the search proceed?

There is currently no system in place for handling occurrences involving submersibles, so it is unclear which agency will oversee the probe.

Due to the incident’s location in a remote area of the ocean and the involvement of individuals from several nations, Rear Adm. Mauger stated it was exceptionally complicated.

However, the US Coast Guard is likely to continue to play a significant part in the operation given that it has so far taken the lead in it.

It declared that it will keep looking into the location of the debris field and that numerous vessels, medical staff, and technicians were still present. Within the next 24 hours, demobilization of teams will begin.

The remote operated vehicles (ROVs) that are currently circling the Titanic on the ocean below will stay in place as well.

Rear Adm Mauger stated, “At this moment, I do not have a date for when we would want to halt remote operations on the seafloor.

What about the sub debris?

To help the authorities piece together what happened, it will be crucial to collect as much of the wreckage as you can, particularly pieces of the carbon fiber that part of the vessel was composed of.

The area where pieces of Titan were found is still being mapped.

Underwater expert Paul Hankin revealed that the search had turned up five significant pieces of debris that may be used to identify the lost submarine.

The pressure hull’s nose cone and the front and rear end bells are among the components.

How is the situation going to be looked into?

The governments of the nations involved in the event, according to Rear Adm Mauger, have been convening to consider potential avenues for an investigation.

Any investigation will aim to determine whether the idea that an implosion led to the deaths of people onboard Titan is true, and if so, when and why it occurred.

The admiral continued, saying that although this fell outside of his purview, broader issues pertaining to standards and procedures for such undersea missions would probably be the subject of a subsequent assessment.

Hydrophones, which are underwater microphones meant to listen for unauthorized atomic weapons tests, could be another potential source of knowledge about Titan’s exact fate.

These assisted in proving that the Argentinian submarine San Juan, which vanished off the nation’s coast in 2017, had exploded.

Hydrophones might have detected the Oceangate Titan’s final signal, which would allow us to pinpoint exactly when the tragedy took place.

Shortly after OceanGate’s Titan submersible lost contact, the US military heard sounds “consistent with an implosion,” according to a military official.
