"Rescue turned to recovery": Titanic sub search crews recounts emotional discovery of debris | FULL

The owner of the remotely operated vehicle that recovered pieces of the Titan submersible said at a Friday update that the company found the wreck on the ocean floor soon after arriving at the search site on June 22.

Ed Cassano, CEO of Pelagic Research Services, said its ROV Odysseus 6K had the capability to dive to the wreck of the Titanic, and that another ROV descended into the water to search but never made it out.

“And by 12:00, sadly, a rescue turned into a recovery. I have to apologize — we're still demobilizing a lot of emotions. People are tired,” Cassano said as he momentarily teared up.

He says a 24-hour recovery operation to find the Titan submersible ran from June 22 until Tuesday of this week. Cassano says his crew returned to St. John’s on Wednesday on board the Canadian Ship Horizon Arctic with the pieces of Titan wreckage that it found on the ocean floor — including presumed human remains.
