The U.S. Coastguard Announces That ‘Presumed Human Remains’ Recovered From The Titan Submersible Implosion
News just broke that ‘presumed human remains’ of the passengers on the Titan Sub that imploded, have been recovered.
The U.S. Coast Guard announced that crews recovered the remains while searching through the wreckage.
According to the press release, the human remains will be formally analyzed.
After consultation with international partner investigative agencies, the Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) intends to transport the evidence aboard a U.S. Coast Guard cutter to a port in the United States where the MBI will be able to facilitate further analysis and testing.
United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of presumed human remains that have been carefully recovered within the wreckage at the site of the incident.

And if you’re wondering why they may still be trying to recover things from this incident, the U.S. Coastguard said:
“I am grateful for the coordinated international and interagency support to recover and preserve this vital evidence at extreme offshore distances and depths,” stated MBI Chair Captain Jason Neubauer. “The evidence will provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy. 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.”
Press Release
While the evidence and presumed human remains won’t bring any of the passengers back, hopefully it will bring closer to the families mourning the losses of their loved ones.
I truly cannot imagine how the families are feeling right now.
