On Wednesday, a ship sailing under the Canadian flag brought the found parts of the missing Titan submarine to the coast.
The video broadcast by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation showed the nose of the submarine and other parts of the wreck wrapped in a white blanket. The scroll was raised on dry land in the harbor of Newfoundland, Canada.
The found parts of the wreckage are expected to shed light on the reasons why the submarine collapsed.
The Titan submarine transported a crew of five to the wreck of the Titanic. However, the ship disappeared on June 18. Last Thursday, after four days of searching, search patrols found parts of the missing ship, and its crew was pronounced dead.
It is known that the submarine was destroyed as a result of the water pressure, but it is still unclear how exactly the accident happened and how soon after the start of the journey the ship capsized.
