Edward Cassano, the deep-sea expert who led the team that found the remains of Titan’s lost submarine, is still deeply affected by what he faced during the search before discovering the deaths of those inside the submarine, according to the “Titan” website.Business Insider“.
Cassano, CEO of Blagique Research Services, recounted what happened, saying that Oceangate, the submarine’s operator, contacted his team shortly after the submarine lost contact on June 18.
He said that his company sent a remotely operated vehicle, which eventually found the remains of the submarine, noting that his team was ready to rescue the five passengers on board, “but it soon became clear that the passengers could not survive.”
Fighting back tears, he added: “Shortly after we reached the seabed, we discovered the wreckage of the Titan submarine. Unfortunately, the rescue operation turned to recovering the bodies.”
Cassano stopped talking and sighed heavily and seemed to hold back his tears, according to “Insider”, expressing his apology for his emotions, justifying that he and his team were still recovering from the shock. “There are a lot of feelings, people are tired.”
On June 22, the US Coast Guard reported that all five people on board the submarine had died after it suffered a “catastrophic explosion”.
