The wreckage found during the search for the missing Titan submersible is the submarine’s “landing structure” and aft cover.
A ship salvage specialist is certain that the debris field uncovered in the search for the “Titan” is from the missing submersible. In conversations with the BBC and Sky News on Thursday, David Mearns referred to statements made by the chairman of the Explorers Club in a WhatsApp group. The explorers are united in the association, and two inmate “Titans” are also members.
Mearns said the submersible’s so-called landing structure and aft cover can be seen. Initially, there was no independent confirmation of this. The US Coast Guard had previously announced that a submersible had found a debris field in the area near the wreckage of the “Titanic”. Experts are now evaluating the information, the official tweeted without giving further information.
The submersible has been missing since Sunday morning (local time). The “Titan” had five people on board on the way to the wreckage of the “Titanic” that sank in 1912 at about 3800 meters deep.
