| Remnants of Titan Disaster Recovered |
Some remnants of the Titan disaster have been recovered from the depths of the ocean. Local reports on Wednesday morning show the remnants being lifted onto a truck with the help of a crane from a Canadian vessel carrying the country's flag at the Saint John's Potash Terminal.
On the path to visit the remnants of the famous Titanic ship that sank over a century ago, tragedy struck on June 18 as the Titanic exploded inward due to a catastrophic implosion in the North Atlantic's abyss. Five ascending tourists were killed in the incident.

In a video broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), it can be seen that the bow section of the Titan and other debris are being transported from the ship "Horizon Arctic" in a manner similar to a triple-jack setup.
It is hoped that the recovery of the remnants will shed light on what exactly happened to the Titan. However, the immediate location of the debris has not been revealed.
Last week, the Canadian authorities announced an investigation into the Titan accident. They have also raised questions about this type of unauthorized expedition. The investigation will be carried out by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB).
After communication with the main vessel was lost with the Titan, several countries, including the United States and Canada, initiated recovery missions. Within five days, the remnants of the disaster were found near the bow section of the Titanic at a depth of 16,000 feet.
The video shows a swinging cable from the ship connecting with the main structure and a severed portion of the Titan's framework and machinery. According to BBC reports, five parts of the devastated remnants have been recovered.
