Grim discovery rescue robot made ‘almost immediately’ after finding doomed Titan sub

The ROV Odysseus 6K was deployed to travel deep underwater after it was used in the rescue operation to find OceanGate’s Titan submersible after it imploded

A rescue robot that was deployed to find the remains of the doomed OceanGate Titan sub made a grim discovery “almost immediately.”

After it was sent on a deep-ocean dive in the hope of finding evidence to clear up what had happened to the five people onboard, it found remains of the sub straightaway.

Speaking at the time, Ed Cassano, the chief executive of the New York-based Pelagic Research Services, revealed the company’s ROV vehicle discovered the submersible very quickly.

The ROV Odysseus 6K easily made its way to the site of the Titanic wreck at 5am on June 22 – four days after the vessel lost contact with the mothership 45 minutes into its deep-ocean dive.
