The Coast Guard used screens to move large debris to the ground, but the dented structures and damaged internal organs were captured by media cameras.
The Coast Guard plans to launch a full-scale investigation into the cause of the accident with the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) of the United States and the National Transportation Safety Board of Canada.
Coast Guard Chief Jason Neubauer said in a statement that the wreckage of the Titanic “will greatly assist in the investigation of the cause of the tragic accident” and “we must find the cause of the accident and prevent a similar tragedy from recurring.”
Experts believe that a problem with the pressure chamber of the submersible could not withstand the pressure of the deep sea and caused an implosion. Implosion refers to a phenomenon in which a structure rapidly collapses inward due to external pressure and is destroyed.
The Coast Guard also explained that, judging from the shape of the wreckage, it seemed that there was a fatal problem in the pressure chamber.
