at them closely, examine any present carbon fibre they can find, see if that material had been stressed or fatigued, maybe that led to catastrophic implosion. also interestingly there will be looking at the debris fields, a couple of them that they found, they can tell by the size and shape approximately at what point that vessel may have imploded, a wider field would indicate that vessel may have imploded, a widerfield would indicate it imploded earlier into its time in a much smaller field would imply that it made it nearly to the bottom before some sort of catastrophe took place. live now to ocean explorer tom dettweiler. he led the team that found the wreckage of the titanic and he was also a friend of pierre henri nargeolet, one of the men who very sadly passed away on the titan. thank you so much for being with us, at what i can imagine is a difficult time and i want to say how sorry we are for the loss of your friend loss of yourfriend pierre henri. loss of your friend pierre-he
in the area that will continue to scour the ocean floor, some 2.5 miles below the surface, looking at the debris itself, we know that five key pieces of the titan have been detected already, they ll take a closer looks, maybe send some images back above and eventually tried to recover those items altogether, bring them up to the surface and look at them closely, examine especially any bits of carbon fibre they can find, see if that material had been stressed or fatigued, maybe that led to catastrophic implosion. also interestingly they will be looking at the debris fields, a couple of them that they found, they can tell by the size and shape, approximately at what point that vessel may have imploded. a widerfield would indicate it imploded earlier into its dive. a much smallerfield would imply that it made it nearly to the bottom before some sort of catastrophe took place. joining us now is parks stephenson, the executive director at uss kidd veterans museum. he s an explorer and exper
