Titan Submersible Search: Debris Found Amid Controversy and Concerns | June 22, 2023

On Thursday morning, debris was located near the Titanic shipwreck site amidst the ongoing search for the missing Titan submersible, according to the US Coast Guard. Its connection to the Titan is uncertain, and experts are currently evaluating the situation. The Titan, carrying five passengers, lost contact 105 minutes after departure from the Polar Prince, a research vessel, off Cape Cod's coast. Since its disappearance, a massive search operation has been in progress, covering an area twice Connecticut's size in the North Atlantic Ocean.

The sudden communication loss from the Titan may have been due to a severe power outage or a hull breach leading to immediate implosion. Complications arise with no previous blueprint for rescue missions at such considerable depths, prompting a swift multinational response involving specialized ROVs from various private entities. Amidst the unfolding situation, controversies have been surfacing regarding whistleblower warnings, unconventional construction methods, and flawed communication systems associated with the Titan. Despite these concerns, it is yet unclear whether the Titan's emergency resurfacing mechanisms were deployed or if the recently discovered debris is linked to the missing submersible. #News
