A year after an experimental submersible imploded en route to the Titanic, unanswered questions linger -- with no immediate answers.
A year after an experimental submersible imploded en route to the Titanic, unanswered questions linger -- with no immediate answers.
Tuesday marks one year since the Titan vanished on its way to the historic wreckage site. After a five-day search that captured the world's attention, officials said the craft had been destroyed and all five people on board killed.
The U.S. Coast Guard quickly convened a high-level investigation into what happened. Concerns leading up to the investigation included the Titan's unconventional design and its creator's decision to forgo standard independent checks.
A look at the one-year anniversary of the Titan tragedy:
The investigation is taking longer than expected
U.S. Coast Guard officials said in a statement last week that they would not be ready to release the results of their investigation by the anniversary. A public hearing to discuss the findings won't happen for at least two more months, they said.
Investigators "are working closely with our domestic and international partners to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the incident," Marine Board of Investigation Chair Jason Neubauer said, describing the inquiry as a "complex and ongoing effort."

At a large Toronto supermarket known for its Iranian and Middle Eastern staples, shelves remain full of customers’ favourites—at least for now. But the store’s longtime operator warns that could change later this year as the war in the Middle East disrupts some food supplies and drives up global prices.
