Debris from the submersible has been found 500 meters off the bow of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean.
The US Coastguard says that the debris indicate that a catastrophic event occurred, and it’s likely that the five people on board have perished.
Director of the Shipbuilding Hub at Adelaide University Eric Fusil told Heather du Plessis-Allan that it's unknown if a proper level of safety was implemented from the first time the Titan dove.
He said that the submersible was not certified in upholding the regulations that most, if not all, submersibles worldwide have to comply with.
