Joe MacInnis, a member of the first expedition to locate the wreck of the Titanic, says the deep sea exploration community has been left ‘shattered’
OceanGate Expeditions, the US company that owns the submersible, said it was “exploring all options” to bring the crew back safely.
MacInnis is a veteran deep sea explorer who has completed two trips to the famed wreck with a Russian crew, as part of making the 1992 Imax documentary Titanica. “I’ll tell you for a while we were scratching our heads and hoping everything was OK. As soon as they got back from underneath the stern, we got radio contact back. And that was a big, big relief.”
“In any accident, you really want an analysis of what went wrong. And I suspect in this case, there will be a lot of head scratching and [if lost] we’ll likely see an effort to recover it if they can.”
