Why the US opposed removing the Titanic shipwreck: Many things have been said about the Titanic disaster. A film has been made about this incident. Its craze is such that people are still eager to know about the latest update related to the Titanic accident or any unheard story associated with Titanic.
The big news related to this is that, on the one hand, preparations are being made to remove the debris from the Titanic, and on the other hand, America wants to stop this work with full force. Various things are being said about the problem of an almighty country taking out the wreckage of Titanic.
It Reached The Point Of Legal Battle
According to the report published in ‘The New York Times’, a Georgia-based company named RMS Titanic Inc. is preparing to remove the wreckage of Titanic in 2024. The US government is against it, citing federal law and international agreements. Federal law and international agreements have recognized the shipwreck as a burial ground.
America has taken this step at a time when, after the death of 5 people in the Titan submarine accident that happened some time ago, the question was raised: Who decides who can go to the remains of Titanic, i.e. through this tourism? Whose interests are involved, and how much?
Let us also update you here that only RMST has the authority to save the wreck of the Titanic. This company removes the wreck of Titanic and displays it, which contains precious and antique things. Why does this company want to take out the debris, though? People are waiting for his new reaction regarding this also.
Fight For Rights
According to the report, the US government is taking legal action to stop the company’s campaign to determine who can recover artefacts from the ship. This legal action also becomes important because there are many complications regarding it.
The US government wants to stop this campaign by becoming a party to the Titanic disaster case. In this connection, the US Secretary and an official of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) department say that he has the right to decide whether he allows anyone to reach the Titanic.
The wreckage of the Titanic ship was first found in September 1985, 12500 feet below sea level. Then, American officials started demanding legal authority to access and regulate the wreck of the Titanic.
Later, in 1994, RMST was given many rights related to this. The then government had called for a global agreement. The government had also announced that no one should commit any wrongdoing related to the shipwreck. However, in the last few years, many remains of the ship have been brought out.
Everyone knew that huge income was being made here in the name of tourism. But this matter gained momentum when, in June this year, five people died in a submarine named Titan of OceanGate company, which went into thousands of feet deep water to see the wreck of the Titanic ship. After that, many questions were raised regarding such operations. Since then, the matter of taking out this debris has become hot.
