The US government was accused of delaying the delivery of equipment to search for Titan submarines

The Magellan was described as potentially «invaluable» in the rescue operation. delivery of vital equipment to the site of the search for Titan.

The British company said that the deployment of a rescue robot to search for a submersible missing in the Atlantic Ocean was prevented by bureaucratic red tape, despite the race to the clock.

On Thursday evening, the US Coast Guard confirmed that a «catastrophic explosion» killed everyone aboard the Titan that was diving towards the Titanic's wreck.

British Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, was on board and his 19-year-old son Suleman, Paul-Henri Nargolet, a 77-year-old veteran French diver, and 61-year-old Stockton Rush, founder of OceanGate, the ship's management company. /p>

Passengers paid about $250,000 each for an excursion more than two miles under the ocean to visit the wreck of a liner that sank in 1912.

Guernsey-based Magellan Ltd has assembled a deepwater team waiting to depart the Channel Islands airport on Monday evening, but permission to take off was given by the US government only on Thursday morning.

The Explorers Club, a group helping with the search, said Magellan's remotely operated vehicle (ROV) was finally assigned to the Atlantic Kestrel in St. John's, Newfoundland, on Thursday morning.

However. , its launch was delayed because the ship needed to «change flag» — essentially change its national registration, according to the group.

Trevor Hale, one of the search team, said The Telegraph: «There seems to be some issues with the ship to transport it and we're trying to help with that now.»

The ROV has a «manipulator arm» that the group says would be «invaluable» to attach to a submarine. The Magellan has been on the Titanic site more often than any other ROV and has recently been involved in mapping the entire area, including the wreckage field.

Resource management was «painful to see,» the former boss said the company responsible for preservation of the wreckage of the Titanic.

Bretton Hunchak, former president of RMS Titanic Inc, told The Telegraph that he was trying to «push through to ensure proper use of assets» and that asset management has been «sick» so far.

The US Coast Guard has defended against criticism. Asked why the British rescue robot wasn't dispatched sooner, Rear Admiral John Mauger told NBC: «We really had to start from scratch and use every opportunity we had to deal with this problem.

«So we made some decisions to prioritize gear that was closest to the location and could get there.»

Titan Search and Rescue Equipment

Concerns about bureaucratic delays by US officials were echoed by a former OceanGate adviser. David Concannon said: “We have solutions and we are working very hard to implement them.

“I hope to sleep for a few hours, wake up and see very positive responses from the US government in my mailbox. . If I don't, the whole world will know the names of the people who didn't do their job.»

Earlier this week, Mr. Concannon said the ROV Magellan had been waiting «on the runway for hours.»

News of the Titan explosion came after growing concerns over its experimental design and safety concerns that were raised against OceanGate. , his cameraman.

A video surfaced Thursday showing Mr Rush boasting he «broke some rules» in his quest to offer thrill-seekers a chance to see the Titanic wreck first hand.

“I would like to be remembered as an innovator,” he told a TeleMundo journalist last year when he showed him Titan. “And you know, I broke some rules to do it. I think I broke with the logic and good engineering behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium — there's a rule that you don't — well, I did.» security.

Attorney and former U.S. Secret Service agent Timothy Allen of Federal Lawyers said the firm could be held accountable for the tragedy.

Titan passengers signed a lengthy waiver, which several times mentioned the risk of death before descending to the bottom of the ocean. But Mr. Allen said there are times when «waivers may be deemed unenforceable or invalid, especially if they involve gross negligence, willful mischief or public disorder.»

He added that, if a waiver is deemed unenforceable «this usually means that the party seeking the defense cannot escape liability for their actions or negligence.»
