The Coast Guard has recovered remaining debris, including presumed human remains, from a submersible that imploded on its way to explore the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five onboard, deep beneath the Atlantic Ocean’s surface, officials said Tuesday.
The Coast Guard said that the recovery and transfer of remaining parts was completed last Wednesday, and a photo showed the intact aft titanium endcap of the 22-foot (6.7-meter) vessel. Additional presumed human remains were carefully recovered from within Titan’s debris and transported for analysis by U.S. medical professionals, the Coast Guard said.
The salvage mission conducted under an agreement with the U.S. Navy was a follow-up to initial recovery operations on the ocean floor roughly 1,600 feet (488 meters) away from the Titanic, the Coast Guard said.
I’m not trying to be insensitive, but I thought the bodies turned to goo. And I assumed that included the bones.
I’m guessing “presumed human remains” means something close to “goo plus bones, we think”.
The bones would be dust after that shockwave
Just goo, then.
I’m guessing a few bits of flesh/goo got wedged in little nooks and crannies in the wreckage. Not very much…
Yeah this is what I thought too. Hard to imagine that whatever paste is left would be able to hold a shape or stay together if it’s free floating.
Given that it’s “presumed” human remains, and needs testing by medical professionals… It sounds like what they found is said goo
I remember that being said as well
