Titan submersible wreckage brought to shore 10 days after fatal implosion

The wreckage of the Titan submersible was brought to shore Wednesday in Canada, 10 days after it went missing with five people who were going to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

Canadian and U.S. investigators are expected to study the submersible's wreckage, which was brought via boat to St. John's harbor, to determine what went wrong. Officials said last week the five people died from a "catastrophic event" or "implosion," likely the same day the sub descended into the Atlantic.

"Just like an airline crash, they may try to reassemble the sub to put the parts together like a puzzle to determine where the failure point was," Underwater Forensic Investigations CEO Tom Maddox told CBC News. "In the case of a massive implosion that's not going to be an easy task because much of the craft would have disintegrated."

The deceased passengers on the sub operated by OceanGate include British billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, British Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, OceanGate CEO and founder Stockton Rush and French submersible pilot Paul-Henri Nargeolet.
