OceanGate Implosion Update: First Photos of Titanic Sub Debris Revealed

The OceanGate implosion may have a few answers to some questions as some of the Titanic submarine's debris has been taken ashore. Several human body parts have also reportedly been found where the debris was.

A ship called Horizon Arctic was seen unloading parts of the missing Titanic sub called the Titan, in St John's, Canada, on Wednesday. Among the debris found were the sub's landing frame and a rear cover, says the US Coast Guard.

Photos of the wreck being unloaded included a piece that contained a porthole, but its window was missing. Also being unloaded was what appeared to be the Titan's tail section as well as a metal part full of the imploded submersible's wirings.

According to the BBC, five major pieces have so far been salvaged and have been taken to Canada. An investigation has already been launched to look into the disaster, though reports indicate that it is still in its initial stage. Officials are now trying to find out what caused the OceanGate implosion and make recommendations on how to prevent future tragedies.

All five aboard the submersible were killed, including OceanGate CEO and the sub's pilot, Stockton Rush. The others who died are British billionaire businessman Hamish Garding, Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, his teen son Suleman Dawood, and French diver and Titanic expert Paul-Henry Nargeolet.

Human Remains Also Found Among Titanic Submarine Debris

The Titanic submarine debris was not the only thing found near the Titanic wreck but also human remains. These presumed human remains were pulled from the ocean depths on Wednesday and are already in Canada.

NBC News reported that medical professionals are now studying what they believe to be human remains. It is still unknown if they indeed belong to one of the five missing Titan passengers or if those body parts found were human at all.

As for the Titan's wreckage, it was reportedly found around 12,500 feet underwater and already on the ocean floor. While experts are looking at the possible human remains, the pieces of the imploded OceanGate sub will be transported to the United States. where it will be investigated by the Marine Board of Investigation.

What Were the Banging Sounds Heard During Search for Missing Titanic Submarine?

With the sub's remains finally found, it raises a few questions: what was that banging noise picked up by a Canadian search plane while searching for the Titan?

Investigators found that the sub likely imploded less than two hours into the ill-fated trip. The implosion was heard by US Navy listening devices soon after the Titan departed, and it was believed that the implosion stemmed from its carbon fiber hull.

However, a Canadian P-3 aircraft detected some banging sounds on June 20, a few days after the sub went missing. According to The Independent, these banging sounds were heard every 30 minutes and were heard again four hours later.

So far, officials have ruled that the noises were "inconclusive." The noise is still being analyzed by Navy experts, though Captain Jamie Frederick of the First Coast Guard District admitted that they do not know what they are.
