NEW evidence and presumed human remains have been recovered from the ocean floor months after five people died in the Titan submarine implosion.

The sub was on a deep sea trip to the Titanic wreckage site when it vanished, sparking a days-long search.

The OceanGate sub lost communication with its mothership one hour and 45 minutes after submerging in the North Atlantic Ocean off Newfoundland, Canada, on June 18.

The desperate bid to find the experimental sub ended days later when a debris field was found 12,500 below the surface.

The US Coast Guard announced on Tuesday that more evidence and presumed human remains from Titan were salvaged from the ocean floor.

Engineers with the Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) recovered the remaining debris and evidence from the North Atlantic Ocean seafloor on October 4, the US Coast Guard said.

“The salvage mission, which was conducted under an existing agreement with US Navy Supervisor of Salvage & Diving, was a follow-up to initial recovery operations following the loss of the Titan submersible,” the agency wrote.

“Investigators from the US National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Transportation Safety Board of Canada joined the salvage expedition as part of their respective safety investigations.”

Presumed human remains were “carefully recovered” from the debris and will be analyzed by US medical professionals.

The other evidence was transferred to a US port for cataloging and examination.

“The MBI is coordinating with NTSB and other international investigative agencies to schedule a joint evidence review of recovered Titan debris,” the Coast Guard said.

“This review session will help determine the next steps for necessary forensic testing.”

The Marine Board of Investigation is interviewing witnesses and working on additional evidence analysis before holding a public hearing on the tragedy.

TRAGIC TRIP

Titan’s passengers included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, and French diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet.

The four passengers had joined CEO Rush for an expensive $250,000 journey that took a select few 13,000 feet below the surface to view the wreckage of the Titanic.

Multiple agencies from several countries sent boats and specialized equipment to search thousands of feet under the ocean to try to rescue those onboard the Titan.

It was later revealed that the sub imploded yards from the Titanic, killing the crew of five in “milliseconds.”

On Thursday, June 22 at 11.48am, the Coast Guard announced debris had been discovered by a deep-sea robot sub.

Five major pieces of debris were initially found two miles beneath the surface, including the Titan’s pressure chamber, nose cone, front-end bell, and aft-end bell.

Rear Admiral John Mauger of the US Coast Guard said the debris were 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic – and “consistent with a catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.”

The agency previously said that the bodies of the passengers might never be recovered as investigators faced the grim task of trying to piece together what happened.

Asked about recovering the bodies, Mauger said the sea floor was an “incredibly unforgiving, incredibly complex environment.”

“We will continue to work and search the area down there but I don’t have an answer for prospects at this time,” he said at the time.

He said the implosion would have made a “significant, broadband sound that the sonar buoys would have picked up.”

And it would have killed the crew instantly, he added.
