The creator of the sunken bathyscaphe “Titan” wanted to bribe a congressman

During the hearings into the crash, McCoy explained that Rush did not want to send the sub for certification to the U.S. Coast Guard. He considered it unnecessary bureaucratic red tape and planned to avoid inspection by planning the expedition’s route through Canada and the Bahamas.

US authorities have previously declassified a photograph of the wreckage left behind by the explosion of a submersible that sank last summer while diving in the North Atlantic. It shows the stern of the sunken submarine. The footage was taken by a remotely operated vehicle four days after the disaster. The wreckage was discovered by the vehicle’s operators at a depth of 3.6 kilometers.

Meanwhile, retired US Coast Guard officer Captain Jason D. Neubauer said after the disaster that the recording of conversations with passengers of the bathyscaphe that exploded in the Atlantic was a fake. According to him, the passengers were not warned about  the disaster .

Also in the US, the public part of the investigation into the bathyscaphe tragedy has begun. It has become known that a few minutes before the tragedy, the crew transmitted the message ” everything is fine .”
