The United States Coast Guard believes that the remains of the deceased tourists can be found among the recovered artifacts from the Titan disaster. A statement by the American Coast Guard indicates that medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of the potential human remains.
Prior to this, local reports on Wednesday morning revealed that remnants of the Titan were being lifted onto a truck with the assistance of a crane from a Canadian vessel displaying the country's flag at the Saint John's Potash Terminal.
Those involved in the recovery confirmed that the bow section of the Titan, as well as other debris, were being transported in a manner reminiscent of a triple-jack setup from the ship called "Horizon Arctic," as seen in a video broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC).
The recovery of these remnants holds the hope of uncovering what truly transpired during the Titan's ill-fated journey. However, the specific location where the debris was found has not been immediately disclosed.
Last week, Canadian authorities announced an investigation into the Titan accident and expressed concerns about unauthorized expeditions of this nature. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) will conduct the investigation.
Following the loss of communication with the main vessel, multiple countries, including the United States and Canada, launched recovery missions. Within a span of five days, remnants of the disaster were located near the bow section of the Titan at a depth of 16,000 feet.
The video footage reveals a swinging cable connecting with the main structure of the ship and a severed portion of the Titan's framework and machinery. According to reports from BBC, five pieces of the devastated remnants have been successfully recovered.
