Canada’s Transportation Safety Board has released a 136-page report detailing critical design flaws and unsafe practices in OceanGate’s Titan submersible, citing “groupthink” and “confirmation bias.” The inquiry echoes prior U.S. investigations and confirms that the craft’s carbon-fibre hull could not withstand repeated deep dives. Five people died in the 2023 catastrophe near the Titanic wreck.
In St. Mary’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, crews have begun draining and treating about 110 tanks containing roughly 3,000 gallons of fermented fish waste left behind by the Atlantic Seafood Sauce Company more than 20 years ago. The $1.7 million cleanup will transfer the waste to an engineered disposal site after peat moss absorbs the liquid.
