A SINGULAR ITEM HAS BEEN RECOVERED FROM THE WRECKAGE OF THE OCEANGATE SUB IMPLOSION – THE US COAST GUARD HAVE REVEALED HOW THEY HAD TO WORK THROUGH HUMAN REMAINS TO GET THROUGH THE WRECKAGE

12:08, 29 May 2025 The US Coast Guard has recovered one surviving item from the wreckage of the Titan submersible after the OceanGate sub "popped like a balloon" during its final

voyage in June 2023. The investigation team pulled the lid back on the pain-staking recovery process and revealed the sole survivor of the OceanGate tragedy was a singular black pen

belonging to the deceased OceanGate CEO, Stockton Rush. Alongside the intact pen investigators were able to locate various other objects from the wreckage site including business cards,

Titanic-themed stickers, the remnants of clothing remnants and human remains. These artefacts alongside debris and wreckage from the incident have been catalogued by the Coast Guard's

Marine Board of Investigation. In a TikTok video posted by Discovery a US Coast Guard revealed the details behind the recovery of the wreckage of the OceanGate sub implosion. “Let's

consider the endcap to be a bowl, a mixing bowl," the Coast Guard official explained. He added: “Items that were inside of the Titan at the time now become encased inside of the endcap.

“We were all just kind of getting all-hands-in and separating what needed to be considered as human remains and what was just other wreckage pieces. “As we were pulling it apart that is how

we realized it was Mr. Rush's clothing. “It was a piece of his sleeve that survived, not the whole suit, just that. Inside of the sleeve of it was the ink pen, business cards and

stickers for the Titanic and there was nothing else but that.” Titan lost all communication with its support vessel on Sunday, June 18, 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland in Canada

during a trip to the wreck of the Titanic – which is 12,500 feet beneath the surface. A few days later tourists Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Sulaiman Dawood, 19,

French Navy pilot Paul-Henry (PH) Nargeolet and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush were all confirmed to have died on the Titan. Spanish submarine expert José Luis Martín has explained what the

final moments for those on the sub would have been like after the power went out. "In that period of time they are realizing everything. And what's more, in complete darkness.

It's difficult to get an idea of what they experienced in those moments," he said. Article continues below "After those 48 seconds, or one minute, the implosion and

instantaneous sudden death occur," the expert added while comparing the implosion to "puncturing like a balloon". The boss of the doomed Titanic submarine, Stockton Rush, has

been dubbed a 'fame-hungry psychopath' by some with former engineering director at the firm Tony Nissen described him as "a borderline psychopath".
