JUST IN: Debris recovered from the submersible that catastrophically imploded while on a voyage to see the Titanic wreckage contained 'presumed human remains,' the U.S. Coast Guard says.
The evidence will be transported to a port in the U.S. for "further analysis and testing" by the Marine Board of Investigation, the Coast Guard said.
"The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy," Marine Board of Investigation Chair Capt. Jason Neubauer said in a statement. "There is still a substantial amount of work to be done to understand the factors that led to the catastrophic loss of the TITAN and help ensure a similar tragedy does not occur again.
The Marine Board of Investigation has been in contact with the families of those who were aboard the Titan, a source familiar with the situation told ABC News. Debris from the Titan submersible, recovered from the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, is unloaded from the ship Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John's, Newfoundland, June 28, 2023.Debris from the Titan submersible, recovered from the ocean floor near the wreck of the Titanic, is unloaded from the ship Horizon Arctic at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John's, Newfoundland, June 28, 2023.
