On Thursday, June 22, debris from the Titan submarine was found near the wreck of the Titanic. At the same time, the five people on board the submersible had been officially announced dead, including Frenchman Paul-Henri Nargeolet, underwater explorer. According to Michel L’Hour, “a dive on the Titanic without Paul-Henri was almost unimaginable, he was the man from the Titanic”.
guest of Focus Sunday on RTL, the underwater archaeologist says he kept hope “because information did not circulate that the US Navy recorded the sound of an implosionat the time when we had lost communications.” If that had been the case right away, “I would have had no hope at all,” he said.
According to him, “a structural accident was almost unimaginable. It deserves to be looked at very closely”. And to add: “Serious technical problems, we can have on this type of machine. Paul-Henri is quite the man to handle this kind of situation, but not a structural problem“.
