The United States Coast Guard has recovered the rest of the wreckage from the submarine Titan, along with human remains presumed to belong to five passengers aboard the Titanic during its ill-fated voyage last June. The boat exploded while diving near the wreckage, instantly killing the five people in the small cockpit at the time.

The other four passengers who died were: British businessman Hamish Harding, 58; 77-year-old former French navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet; Pakistani entrepreneur Shahzada Dawood (48) and her 19-year-old son Suleiman. According to documents unearthed by US officials, Rush ignored safety warnings about the submarine. Following the disaster, OceanGate, which had previously organized dives around the world, suspended all its operations.
The Titan’s body was made of carbon fiber, with titanium end plates and a small window at one end.

The investigation commission investigating the incident continues its investigations, including analysis and interviews with eyewitnesses, while awaiting the first hearing on the tragedy, which is due to be held in the near future.
