Titanic: Latest News

A Canadian-flagged ship carrying debris from the imploded submersible Titan docked in Canada on Wednesday as the investigation into the fatal disaster continues.

Titanic wreckage suddenly imploded.All hopes for a positive outcome vanished Thursday when the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed it found debris belonging to OceanGate Expedition’s Titan near the famous ocean liner at the bottom of the North Atlantic.The submersible’s disappearance Sunday set off an international rescue mission that captivated the world’s attention given its link to the Titanic.

James Cameron, director of the blockbuster film Titanic, has criticized the engineering of the lost Titan submersible, calling its design “fundamentally flawed.”In an interview with ABC News, Cameron — who designs submersibles himself, some able to dive to depths three times below the Titanic site — said OceanGate Expedition’s vessel should not have been constructed from carbon fiber.OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who was one of five passengers killed onboard the Titan submersible that disappeared on Sunday, defended the use of carbon fiber in 2017, claiming the material was lighter, cheaper and easier to transport while still being durable under pressure. Traditionally, submersibles are constructed using titanium, steel or other materials that can withstand immense pressure underwater.Cameron, 68, told the news outlet that members of the “small” deep-diving community had been warning about safety flaws in the Titan’s design since Rush boasted about the use of carbon fiber in the hull.He claimed many “very concerned” engineers and deep-sea divers wrote letters to OceanGate insisting the Titan was too experimental to carry human passengers.The Titan launched on Sunday and was reported overdue that afternoon about 700 kilometers south of St.

Titanic submersible and its crew lost in the North Atlantic reached a critical point Thursday with oxygen aboard the vessel set to run out.The U.S. Coast Guard tweeted Thursday morning that Canadian vessel Horizon Arctic deployed a remotely operated vehicle (ROV) that has reached the sea floor to search for OceanGate Expeditions’ Titan. French vessel L’Atalante also deployed an ROV Thursday.Titan was estimated to have a 96-hour supply of breathable air when it launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic.

a missing submersible that was set to tour the Titanic wreckage off the coast of Newfoundland.The stakes are life and death for the five people on board OceanGate Expeditions’ underwater submersible Titan, which lost contact with its support ship shortly after it began its dive Sunday morning.An estimated four days of oxygen supply is feared to run out Thursday morning around roughly 6 a.m. Eastern, raising concerns about the passengers’ survival, assuming the vessel is still intact and had not already suffered a devastating decompression.A lot depends on how much oxygen can be preserved, which is no easy task in the cramped and nerve-wracking conditions, says Dr.

“Intense worry” is how a former passenger of the missing Titanic submersible describes his feelings as he waits with hope that the five people onboard, including two of his friends, will be found safely.

Titanic.A statement from the U.S. Coast Guard did not elaborate on what rescuers believed the noises could be, though it offered a glimmer of hope for those lost aboard the Titan as estimates suggest as little as a day’s worth of oxygen could be left if the vessel is still functioning.Meanwhile, questions remain about how teams could reach the lost submersible, which could be as deep as about 12,500 feet (3,800 meters) below the surface near the watery tomb of the historic ocean liner.

Titanic shipwreck has gone missing somewhere in the Atlantic Ocean.The U.S. Coast Guard told Global News Monday morning they had launched an operation to find the submersible.“We are coordinating search efforts for a submarine that lost communications yesterday while exploring the wreck of the Titanic,” said Lt.

Titanic like it’s never been seen before.Remarkable 3D visualization, achieved by deep-sea mapping technology, shows what the RMS Titanic would look like resting on the ocean floor if the water around it were removed.The hope with these images, according to researchers, is that the unprecedented views will shed new light on how the ill-fated ocean liner sank more than a century ago.The scan was conducted last year by deep-sea mapping company Magellan Ltd., in partnership with Atlantic Productions, a company that is currently making a film about the project.“I felt there was something much bigger here that we could get from the Titanic,” Anthony Geffen, the CEO of Atlantic Production, told CBS News. “If we could scan it, if we could capture in all its detail … we could find out how it sank and how the different parts of the boat fell apart and we can find a lot of personal stories down there as well.”The daunting task was a huge success, despite the ship lying 3,800 metres below sea level off the coast of Newfoundland.The photos show intricate details that are nothing short of astonishing.It’s the first full-sized scan of the wreck, which lies in two parts.

Titanic actress Kate Winslet has been taking the coronavirus pandemic very seriously from the beginning and recently she revealed the reason why. The 44-year-old actress, who played an epidemiologist in 2011’s Contagion, said the movie made her hyper-aware of the current pandemic when the virus started spreading in China and Europe.
