America opens an investigation into the explosion of the submarine Titan

Authorities from the United States and Canada have begun the process of investigating the cause of the fatal explosion (implosion) of the submarine Titan, which killed its five passengers.

The wreck of Titan is about 12500 feet (3810 meters) underwater, hundreds of meters away from the wreckage of the Titanic, which the submarine was on its way to explore.

On Thursday, the US Coast Guard said that all five people on board the submarine died after it suffered a “catastrophic explosion” and the wreckage was found on the sea floor, 500 meters from the wreck of the “Titanic”.

And the Titan submarine was not specifically subjected to an explosion (which occurs from the inside to the outside), but to an “explosion” (which occurs from the outside to the inside), which is a process that causes the body to collapse on itself as a result of pressure from the outside to the inside.

The explosion is often caused by the difference between the internal and external pressure (water pressure, in the case of Titan), which is so strong that the body's structure collapses inward on its own.

The explosion occurs very quickly, within milliseconds, so it is likely that the passengers of "Titan" did not notice any abnormality.

A number of accounts on social media have posted videos of other eruptions or videos simulating what might have happened to Titan.

As for the remains of the deceased Titan passengers, Captain Jason Neubauer, the chief investigator of the US Coast Guard, said that the US authorities are in contact with the families of the five dead, and that the investigators “take all precautions at the site if we want to find human remains.”

The submarine Titan itself is likely to be a key part of any investigation. Questions have been raised about whether the submarine was destined for disaster because of its unconventional design and its designer's refusal to submit to independent checks that are standard in the industry.

Titan is not registered as a US submarine or with international safety rating agencies. Nor has it been rated by any marine industry group who set standards in matters such as hull construction.

Stockton Rush, CEO of Oceangate, who was piloting Titan when it exploded, complained that regulations could stifle progress.
