Still doubtful if bodies can be recovered
Titan submersible of OceanGate Expeditions, which was bound to the wreckage site of Titanic that rests 12,500 feet below the ocean’s surface, blasted after diving in the ocean.
The submersible was carrying its founder and CEO, Stockton Rush, 61; famed Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet; British aviator, Hamish Harding, 58; business tycoon Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman.
As per experts, the sub had reached nearly 10,000 ft below sea level when its contact with its OceanGate mothership was broken. The submersible had approximately covered an hour and 45 minutes of the 2-hour journey.

An immediate search operation was launched and after days, the searchers discovered a cluster of debris 1,600 feet away from the Titanic’s bow. It was stated that the sub went through a catastrophic implosion which led to the instant death of all occupants.
It is still doubtful if the dead bodies of the five passengers will be recovered ever. The authorities, meanwhile, are trying to determine whether a criminal investigation will be launched into the disaster, as stated by Kent Osmond, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent.
