A “catastrophic explosion” involving the Titan mini-submarine.
“Inpléascadh tubaisteach” a bhain do mhion-fhomhuireán an Titan.
A “catastrophic explosion” involving the Titan mini-submarine was responsible for the death of the five people on board, according to the United States Coast Guard.
“Inpléascadh tubaisteach” a bhain do mhion-fhomhuireán an Titan ba chionsiocair le bás an chúigir a bhí inti, dar le Garda Cósta na Stát Aontaithe.
Yesterday evening, pieces of the submarine were found four kilometers underwater and half a kilometer from the Titanic’s wreckage shoulder in the North Atlantic.
Tráthnóna inné, aimsíodh píosaí den fhomhuireán ceithre chiliméadar faoin uisce agus leathchiliméadar ó ghualainn raiceáil an Titanic san Atlantach Thuaidh.
The Titan was taking a trip under the raking when the communication between her and her helmsman was cut on top of the sea last Sunday.
Bhí an Titan ag tabhairt turas faoin raiceáil nuair a gearradh an chumarsáid idir í agus lucht a stiúrtha ar bharr na farraige Dé Domhnaigh seo caite.
According to Rear Admiral John Mauger of the United States Coast Guard it appears that the submarine’s pressure chamber has exploded.
Dar leis an Seachaimiréal John Mauger ó Gharda Cósta na Stát Aontaithe go ndealraíonn sé gur inphléasc cuasán brú an fhomhuireáin.
It is still not possible to say, however, why the explosion happened or when exactly it happened, said Rear Admiral Mauger.
Ní féidir a rá fós, áfach, cén fáth ar tharla an t-inpléascadh ná cén uair go baileach a tharla sé, a dúirt an Seachaimiréal Mauger.
He confirmed, however, that sonar buoys had been in the water for three days before the wreckage of the submarine was found yesterday and that they had not detected any major noise or trouble during that time.
Dhearbhaigh sé, mar sin féin, go raibh baoithe sonóra san uisce ar feadh trí lá sular aimsíodh smionagar an fhomhuireáin inné agus nach raibh aon torann mór ná troimpléasc braite acu i gcaitheamh an achair sin.
On the contrary, it emerged yesterday evening that the United States Navy sonar plant detected a disturbance in the sea area close to the Titanic on Sunday.
Os a choinne sin, tháinig sé chun solais tráthnóna inné gur bhraith gléasra sonóra Chabhlach na Stát Aontaithe troimpléasc sa limistéar farraige gar don Titanic ar an Domhnach.
It is to be understood from all that, therefore, that the vessel seems to have exploded shortly after being lowered into the water by the steering ship.
Tá sé le tuiscint ón méid sin ar fad, mar sin, gur cosúil gur inphléasc an t-árthach go gairid tar éis di a bheith ligthe síos san uisce ag an long stiúrtha.
There is currently no word on finding the bodies of the five men who were in the submarine.
Níl aon chaint faoi láthair ar choirp an chúigear fear a bhí san fhormhuireán a aimsiú.
Those five are the toki from Britain Hamish Harding, 58 years; the Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his nineteen-year-old son Sulaiman; the French pilot Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77 years; and the American Stockton Rush, 61 years, the founder of the OceanGate company that owns the vessel.
Is iad an cúigear sin an toicí as an mBreatain Hamish Harding, 58 bliain; an fear gnó as an bPacastáin Shahzada Dawood, 48 bliain, agus a mhac Sulaiman a bhí naoi mbliana déag; an píolóta as an bhFrainc Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77 bliain; agus an Meiriceánach Stockton Rush, 61 bliain, bunaitheoir an chomhlachta OceanGate ar leo an t-árthach.
