Human remains found in Titanic sub wreck

Published

on

US Coast Guard says human remains have been discovered in the wreckage of Titan submersible.

The sub, which imploded on a deep dive to the Titanic, was unloaded in St John’s, Canada, on Wednesday.

Among the debris were the landing frame and rear cover of the sub.

A formal analysis of presumed remains will be conducted by US medical professionals, the coast guard announced.

Currently, the agency is investigating the causes of the disaster. It will be transported to a US port for analysis and testing by the Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation (MBI).

MBI Chair Captain Jason Neubauer said in a statement that 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”.

“I am grateful for the coordinated international and interagency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths,” Cpt Neubauer said.

Investigation continues

Approximately 90 minutes into diving to view the famous 1912 shipwreck in the north Atlantic, the vessel imploded, killing all five aboard.

Among the passengers were Stockton Rush, 61, the head of OceanGate, which organized the dive; Hamish Harding, 58; Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman Dawood, 19; and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77.

Initially, officials were skeptical about recovering any bodies.

“This is an incredibly unforgiving environment down there on the seafloor,” Coast Guard Adm John Mauger said, shortly after the loss of the vessel was confirmed.

According to Cpt Neubauer, investigators would take “all precautions” if human remains were found and the investigation would likely include a formal hearing.

The coast guard says five major pieces of the sub have been found in a large debris field near Titanic’s bow.

In a landmark ruling, the European Union has imposed a €120 million fine on Elon Musk’s social media platform X, citing violations of new digital regulations under the Digital Services Act (DSA). This fine underscores the EU’s increasing scrutiny of tech giants and sets the stage for a potential clash between Elon Musk, the European Commission, and even political figures like former President Trump.

Chris Berg from RMIT University joins us to break down the reasons behind the fine, including X’s controversial handling of the blue tick verification system, and what this means for transparency and user rights on digital platforms.

We also explore the broader implications of this ruling for other tech platforms like TikTok and how the EU is asserting its regulatory authority on an international stage.
