Why is video of the Titanic wreckage going viral? Plus, all about the new videos and images released of the Titan submersible debris.
Video of Titanic wreckage is trending after a submersible vessel supposedly catastrophically imploded during a dive to the wreck’s site.
In the above video posted by CNN on YouTube, you can see high-res footage of the Titanic wreck that was actually captured by OceanGate Expeditions last year. This is the same company whose submersible went missing with 5 men on board.
Titan Submersible
The Titan submersible went missing earlier this month with 5 men on board during a dive to see the Titanic wreckage. It is believed that the submersible imploded, killing all 5 men on the submersible. Debris from the submersible has been located on the ocean floor and is slowly being retrieved from the site. Check out the below video posted by CBS News on TikTok that shows the debris being retrieved.

Titan Submersible Debris
In recent news, some onlookers were wondering why the Titan was being covered with tarps when being retrieved from the water. According to user @theaustinayers’ video, it is because the Coast Guard stated that there are presumed to be human remains. As a result, they have likely found human remains inside the submersible wreckage. These remains will ultimately need to undergo medical testing and/or DNA matching.
@theaustinayers Just wow. #titan #titanic #submersible #oceangate
Titan Submersible Debris Bodies
Although during a catastrophic implosion, there will likely not be a lot of human remains recovered, human remains could mean anything from bone shards to hair to pieces of flesh, etc. as mentioned by some users in the comment section of the TikTok video.
