The Titan submersible offers up to 96 hours of battery life for five people
O Canada announced on Friday 23 that it was opening an investigation into the accident with the submersible titanwhich imploded on Sunday as it descended the waters of the North Atlantic to the wreck of the Titanic, causing the death of the five occupants. The investigation will be led by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB), which is responsible for investigating all accidents involving conveyances that occur domestically or affect Canadian vehicles and vessels. In a statement, the TSB said that as the responsible authority for the mother ship of the submersible, “it will conduct a safety investigation into the circumstances of the operation carried out by the Canadian flagship Polar Prince.” The Polar Prince was the mothership of the last Titan expedition, a submersible owned by OceanGate Explorations. Both ships left St. John’s Harbor at the site of the Titanic wreck. According to US authorities, the Polar Prince lost contact with the Titan 105 minutes after beginning the dive towards the submersible. A remotely operated vehicle (ROV), departing from the ship Horizon Arctic and belonging to the same company as the Polar Prince, yesterday discovered the wreckage of the Titan at the bottom of the Atlantic.
