The passengers of the submersible “Titan”, descending to the wreckage of the “Titanic” in the Atlantic Ocean, died painlessly. Eileen Maria Marty, a former naval officer and professor at Florida International University, spoke about this on CNN. She also doubted that the bodies of the dead could be raised to the surface.
Everything collapsed before the people on board realized there was a problem, she said. Marty added that of all possible scenarios, this is considered the most painless.
Recall that the bathyscaphe “Titan” of the OceanGate company disappeared from the radar on June 18, almost two hours after the start of the dive to the wreckage of the “Titanic” in the Atlantic Ocean. Five people were on board the submersible: 58-year-old British billionaire and traveler Hamish Harding, 48-year-old Pakistani-British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman, CEO of OceanGate 61-year-old Stockton Rush and the pilot of the apparatus, a former military diver, researcher “Titanic” 77-year-old Frenchman Paul-Henri Narjolet.
A few days later, OceanGate reported that the crew and passengers of the Titan submersible were presumed dead. It was noted that the device was destroyed as a result of a “catastrophic implosion” of the hull under the influence of the water column. According to CNN, the device was found at a depth of 4,000 meters below sea level.
The Wall Street Journal also wrote that the US Navy recorded the sound of the destruction of the body of the bathyscaphe “Titan” a few hours after the start of its dive.
