In the text of one of the last messages transmitted by the crew of the Titan bathyscaphe before the crash, it was said that everything was in order. This is reported by CNN with reference to data from the US Coast Guard (USCG).

"Communication was intermittent, but about an hour after the dive, Titan transmitted a message: "Everything is fine here," the Coast Guard said.

After that, another text message was sent, which referred to the dropping of two loads by the bathyscaphe: "I lost two weights." At that moment, the ship was at a depth of 3346 meters, six seconds after receiving it, the Polar Prince base ship lost contact with the device.

Also at the hearing on the case of the Titan crash, photographs of the wreckage discovered after the crash of the bathyscaphe were presented for the first time. The pictures were taken by the research company Pelagic Research Services.

The photo shows the tail section of the bathyscaphe resting on the bottom. A barely identifiable fragment of the vessel is visible nearby. The wreckage was found a few hundred meters from the Titanic that sank 112 years ago.

As reported by EADaily, the Titan deep-sea vehicle, owned by a private marine research company, crashed on June 18 while diving to a depth of several thousand meters with five people on board when approaching the wreckage of the Titanic. The Titan spacecraft was searched for several days in the hope that its passengers could be safely rescued. However, all five people died in the disaster.

Fragments of the structure, along with the alleged remains of crew members, were later raised to the surface.
