The cause of the catastrophic implosion is being investigated and may be down to the carbon fiber used in the construction.
A remotely operated vehicle , Odysseus 6K from Pelagic Research Services, has been engaged in debris recovery operations. Since it arrived at the site, the ROV has made at least four dives to the debris field, and its heavy lift capabilities have been used to bring the remains onshore.
A debris field was discovered within the search area by an ROV near the Titanic. Experts within the unified command are evaluating the information. 1/2Images captured at the Canadian Coast Guard pier in St. John’s, Newfoundland, showed white panel-like pieces - taller than average humans being brought onto land. One piece was covered in a white tarp with multiple cords and wires attached. Details of which parts have been recovered have not been revealed so far.
Crew members have been working round the clock at the site, which is two miles deep in the North Atlantic, for the past ten days. Much work remains to be done, and investigations need to be conducted before the cause of the catastrophic implosion can be found.The US Coast Guard has convened a Marine Board of Investigation, the highest level it conducts to probe the cause of the implosion. Canadian police are also ascertaining if it needs to launch a criminal investigation into the matter.
While the findings of these probes will take months to be revealed, experts have pointed to the carbon fiber used in the construction of the vessel as the likely weakness that led to the incident.
