until there was a certification done. interestingly, this was back in 2018. the first dive to the site of the titanic wreckage was in 2021, so this was several years before the titan started making these trips. and also, more recent concerns being raised in the last few days the director of the movie titanicjames cameron, who s also made several more than 30 trips to the titanic wreckage himself. he s been speaking out about similar concerns. so, this is a timeline dating all the way back five years or so, even before the titan was fully operational in terms of going to those depths. and carl, can you bring us date on recovery efforts to pick up the debris of the titan submersible? these recovery efforts are continuing and they re being led by some of these rovs remotely operated vehicles. there is at least one in the area that will continue to scour the ocean floor, some 2.5 miles below

we also heard concerns about the lack of certification of the titan, and even seeing they should stop use altogether until there was a certification done. interestingly this was back in 2018. the first dive to the site of the titanic wreckage was in 2021, so this was several years before the titan started making these trips. and more recent concerns being raised in the last few days, the director of the movie titanicjames cameron who s also made several, more than 30 trips to the titanic wreckage himself, and he s been speaking out about similar concerns, so this is a timeline dating all the way back five years or so, even before the titan was fully operational in terms of going to those depths. and can you bring us date and recovery efforts to pick up the debris of the titan submersible? these recovery efforts are continuing, and they re being led by some of these rovs, remotely operated vehicles, there is at least one
at the bbc between the two, rob mccallum, an expert in the field, and the ceo himself, the late stockton rush. and this was more of the same. we have heard this from several experts concerns about the materials that are used were used in the titan, in that hull, the carbon fibre used, outside of the norm for the industry. we also heard concerns about the lack of certification of the titan, and even saying that it should stop use altogether until there was a certification done. now, interestingly, this was back in 2018. the first dive to the site of the titanic wreckage was actually in 2021, so this was several years before the titan started making these trips. and also, more recent concerns being raised in just the last few days the director of the movie titanicjames cameron, who s also made several more than 30 trips to the titanic wreckage himself. he s been speaking out about similar concerns. so, this has a timeline dating all the way back five years or so, even before the
