Ed Cassano, CEO of Pelagic Research Services, described the sequence of events leading to their discovery of the Titan wreckage on the ocean floor.
Cassano spoke about the moment on June 18 when they realized the submersible had likely suffered a catastrophic implosion, inevitably killing all five men on board. Cassano said they immediately mobilized their team, sending some straight to Newfoundland to stand by for the search, and some to their headquarters in New York to prepare their remotely-operated vehicle, Odysseus.
They set out on Wednesday morning, and arrived at the site of the Titanic wreckage by Thursday morning, where they were immediately tasked with leading the underwater search. They went into the water fully prepared to save the vessel, however. The crew had secured a lifting mechanism to the core of the Odysseus, which would have allowed them to get a hold of the submersible if it was found in tact.
