A robot is combing the sea floor for debris from the fatal implosion of the Titan submersible as authorities in both the US and Canada turn their attention from search and rescue to investigating what led up to the maritime disaster and whether any laws were broken.

Voice recordings and data from the mother ship that carried the Titan submersible before it imploded will be examined, investigators say

As the investigation continues into how and when the Titan submersible imploded while on a deep-sea voyage to the Titanic wreckage last weekend, a submersible expert says he warned the vessel’s CEO about safety concerns after a trip years ago.

A day before the disappearance of the doomed Titan submersible, a British businessman and explorer wrote of his pride to be “going down to the Titanic” as a mission specialist.

The international investigation into the fatal Titan submersible implosion broadened on Saturday, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police saying it’s looking into whether “criminal, federal, or provincial laws may possibly have been broken.”

OceanGate Expeditions, which operated the submersible that went missing Sunday on its way to view the Titanic wreckage, strayed from industry norms by declining a voluntary, rigorous safety review of the vessel known as "Titan," according to an industry leader.
