Part 2/14:
Two primary investigative bodies released extensive reports on the Titan disaster: the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation. Manley emphasizes the richness of these documents—spanning hundreds of pages—that delve into every conceivable aspect of the submersible's design, operation, and demise.
The NTSB's Findings
The NTSB's report includes exhaustive documentation—materials analysis, electronic device examinations, and a meticulous reconstruction of the sequence of events. Notably, the NTSB sought data recovery from devices recovered from the wreckage, such as onboard computers and electronic systems, to understand what was happening during the fatal descent.
