The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has announced that it is launching an investigation into the loss of the Titan sub. The US Coast Guard said a formal inquiry has not yet been launched because maritime agencies are still busy searching the area where the vessel fell apart. Here’s a recap of the latest developments:Ī day after revelations that the Titan submersible imploded, officials are searching the ocean floor for evidence and determining who will be responsible for investigating the international disaster. Boeing and the University of Washington have denied the company’s claim that they helped design the sub. OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible, exaggerated details of the industry partnerships behind the development and engineering of its sub. UK and US officials picked up a “large acoustic signal” indicating an implosion of the Titan sub days ago, but did not release the information to the public or some members of the rescue teams because it was classified, according to a UK naval source. A team of investigators is now traveling to St John’s, Newfoundland, to “gather information, conduct interviews, and assess the occurrence”, it said. Online commenters and journalists are calling out Stockton Rush, the CEO and co-founder of OceanGate who was killed onboard the Titan submersible, for his goals of using his deep sea exploration tourism as a cost-effective tool for oil and gas companies. The aunt of the 19-year-old killed aboard the Titan said the young man was gravely afraid of going on the exploration. 23.59 CEST Summary of the day's Titan submersible tragedy updates
