Canada has initiated an investigation into the catastrophic internal explosion near the remains of the Titanic shipwreck, which posed a significant risk to the tourist-carrying submarine Titan. The country's authorities announced this last Saturday.


On June 18, the tourism submarine Titan embarked on a journey with five passengers to witness the remains of the Titanic in the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. However, two hours into the voyage, communication with the control room was lost, indicating a malfunction from the underwater destination.


Subsequent to that, multiple countries launched a search and recovery operation for the submarine. Officially, on the past Thursday, the United States Coast Guard reported that the submarine had been shattered into pieces due to a catastrophic internal explosion in the depths of the ocean.


Chairman of the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), Cathy Fox, stated, "Our responsibility is to determine what happened and why, and to identify any changes needed to prevent a recurrence of such incidents in the future."


Cathy further informed journalists at St. John's, Newfoundland, saying, "We understand that everyone wants to know what happened, especially the families and the public affected by the loss."


It may take around one and a half to two years to complete the full investigation of this accident. As part of the investigation, the investigators from the Transportation Safety Board (TSB) reached the Canadian flag-bearing ship, "Polar Prize," last Saturday. The journey of the ship began yesterday, Sunday.
