Why Killer Whales Can’t Be Responsible for Missing Titanic Sub

Rumors have spread on social media that orcas could be responsible for a missing submersible in the North Atlantic Ocean, but experts told Newsweek that it’s a false theory and is damaging the animals’ reputation.

A submersible equipped with five passengers disappeared after it went on a deep-sea expedition to the RMS Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic Ocean on Sunday. There has been no communication from the crew members. A rescue mission has been launched, and people are quick to theorize what might be the culprit behind the missing marine vessel.

People inaccurately speculated that perhaps killer whales are behind the missing submersible given the pod of orcas off the Strait of Gibraltar that have sunk three ships, but experts were quick to debunk this theory.

Marine Mammal Research Unit Director Andrew Trites told Newsweek that although orcas do live in the North Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Canada, they don’t dive deeper than 100 meters into the ocean. The Titanic is approximately 4,000 meters deep in the ocean.

“There is no way that this population of killer whales could be involved with what’s happened to the [submersible],” Trites said.- Source
