Ed Cassano led the team that recovered the wreckage of the Titan sub. Cassano told a press conference that ocean exploration "was a passion and a joy for exploration." Odysseus 6K was the only ROV that took part in the search effort able to reach the depths of the Titanic wreckage. He said that they had prepared to rescue the Titan sub, but it soon became clear that the passengers could not have survived the journey. "Shortly after we arrived on the seafloor, we discovered the debris of the Titan submersible," he added.
