Unanswered Questions Surrounding Titanic Sub Implosion Investigation

The US Coast Guard and Canadian authorities have begun investigating the cause of the fatal Titan submersible implosion, which killed all five people aboard. A formal inquiry has not yet been launched as maritime agencies are still searching the area where the vessel was destroyed. The deep-sea investigations promise to be long and painstaking, as is the nature of investigations in the murky depths of the ocean. The world of deep-sea exploration is not well-regulated, and questions have been raised about whether the vessel was destined for disaster because of its unconventional design and its creator’s refusal to submit to independent checks that are standard in the industry.
