First Images Of Titan Sub Wreckage Emerge After Pieces Of Vessel Pulled From Ocean Floor

Parts of the doomed Titan submersible that imploded during its voyage to the Titanic wreckage were pulled to shore in Canada Wednesday.

Photos and a video showed crews moving at least three large pieces of the OceanGate submersible off the Horizon Arctic ship in St. Johns, Newfoundland. The largest piece pulled from the depths of the Atlantic Ocean appeared to be full of mechanical parts and wires, while two other pieces looked similar to the sub’s external cover and landing frame, The Daily Mail reported

Search crews found parts of the Titan’s wreckage at the bottom of the ocean last Thursday, confirming that all five passengers aboard the vessel “had sadly been lost.” The debris field was discovered by a remote-operated vehicle (ROV) deployed by the Horizon Arctic. 

Rear Admiral John Mauger said that the debris discovered was “the tail cone of the Titan submersible approximately 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic on the sea floor.” Additional debris was found, and Mauger said it was “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber.” He said that upon the discovery, officials immediately notified the families that their loved ones were deceased.

Officials believe it’s likely the submersible imploded hours after its voyage began, and a top-secret U.S. Navy system detected an implosion a short time after learning that the sub lost communication with its mothership, according to The Wall Street Journal.

“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement. “While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”

Those aboard the Titan likely died “in milliseconds,” according to experts who spoke after pieces of the vessel were discovered. 

OceanGate CEO and founder Stockton Rush was piloting the submersible and was joined by billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, an esteemed French maritime expert with decades of experience diving into the Titanic wreckage.

Former NFL Quarterback Ryan Mallett Dies In Tragic Accident

Former NFL quarterback Ryan Mallett died in a drowning accident on Tuesday in the Gulf of Mexico.

The Okaloosa County Sheriff’s Office in Florida said first responders were called to the beach around 2 p.m. local time after lifeguards pulled an adult male out of the water who “went under” and had stopped breathing.

Authorities said “a group of people in the water near the second sandbar had reportedly been struggling to make their way back to shore.”

“Lifesaving measures were immediately undertaken but the man was pronounced deceased at the Destin Emergency Room,” authorities said.

Mallett, 35, played at the University of Michigan for one season before transferring to the University of Arkansas, where he threw for nearly 7,500 yards, according to ESPN. In 2010, he finished in the top 10 for the Heisman Trophy.

Mallett was chosen by New England Patriots in the third round of the NFL Draft in 2011. After serving as Tom Brady’s backup for three seasons, Mallett was traded to the Houston Texans in 2014, where he played for two seasons. In 2015, Mallett signed with the Baltimore Ravens, where he played in eight games over three seasons.

Mallett had recently served as the head football coach at White Hall High School in White Hall, Arkansas.

“It is with great sadness that we share the loss of Coach Ryan Mallett,” White Hall said in a statement. “Coach Mallett was a beloved coach and educator. We ask that you remember his family, team, students, fellow coaches, and the White Hall School District staff in your prayers.”

The University of Arkansas said in a statement that those at the program were “shocked and saddened” by his passing.

“He was a Razorback legend with larger-than-life talent and a personality to match,” the school said. “He led our program to some of our best moments in recent memory. He will be missed by everyone who knew him. Our thoughts and prayers are with his mother Debbie and his extended family.”
