fights to prevent its collapse. ministers are drawing up contingency plans while the supplier looks to secure extra funding amid debts running into billions of pounds. celia hatton has more. the future of the uk s biggest water company is far from watertight. but the government is reassuring thames water s 15 million customers they won t lose access to water as work continues behind the scenes to try to rescue it from collapse. thames water is £14 billion in debt and in crisis mode after the surprise resignation of its ceo on tuesday. no clear reason has been given for sarah bentley s departure. ministers are considering a plan to bring the utility giant temporarily under public ownership if it can t sort out its debts. we need to make sure that thames water as an entity survives. there s a lot of work that the government is trying to do on resolving sewage. certainly, up until now, the regulator has been focused on keeping consumer bills down, but there s a lot of infrastru
more tonight about the science of submersibles following that deadly titan sub tragedy. kristen dahlgren shows us the vessel that first took humans to see the titanic and just what it takes to safely explore the deepest parts of the sea. reporter: as pieces of the titan were raised, so were questions about safety and the future of vehicles that are sometimes unregulated, topics that hit close to home at the woods hole oceanographic institution. we support science. we support exploration, and we support national defense. reporter: perhaps nowhere on earth do they know more about submersibles. there s two things that you don t sacrifice in innovation, and that s quality and safety. reporter: carl hartsfield was an adviser on the search for titan. when you heard that titan was made out of a carbon fiber hull with a titanium end cap, what did you think? well, the first thing i thought is that it s two dissimilar materials and how they re joined

a titanium end cap from the cylinder shaped carbon fibre sub with a large hole where a viewing window was once positioned. the rear equipment bay thrown clear in the violent implosion that occurred nearly likm down. and the landing frame the sub used to sit on a flat surface. the question now is whether investigators have enough material to reconstruct what happened. i think the key parts to look at are the interface between the acrylic window and the titanium hemispherical domes, the end caps, and also the the area where the carbon fibre would have been bonded to the titanium flanges. so i could see from the footage that both of those components were recovered, which is as much as we can hope for. seeing the debris come ashore will have been a painful sight for the families of the five men who died. british explorer hamish harding,
