Authorities on Wednesday said they appear to have recovered human remains within the Titan submersible wreckage that was pulled from the North Atlantic and unloaded at a port in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador.
An American medical team will analyze the remains as the U.S. Coast Guard begins a high-level investigation into the cause of the Titan's implosion last week that killed five people, the branch said in a statement. The vessel's experimental carbon fiber design raised concerns among experts years before its destruction, and could prompt more regulatory oversight of the submersible industry.
