OceanGate, a company that specialises in submersible expeditions, has halted all exploration and business operations following the fatal implosion of one of its submersibles in June. The company s website now features a banner announcing the news, but no further details have been released.
Debris from the Titan submersible was returned to land Wednesday. The return of the debris to port in St. John s, Newfoundland and Labrador, is a key piece of the investigation into why the submersible imploded.
As discussions regarding potential flaws in the vessel arise, many have pointed out that there were supposed flaws with the vessel and that such an accident could have been foreseen. Amazingly, one Twitter user predicted the tragedy that has occurred this past week with frightening accuracy. Interestingly, this user was referring specifically to OceanGate, the company behind the vessel.
