OceanGate Documentaries Dive Into Questions About Sub Tragedy

  • On June 18, 2023, OceanGate's Titan submersible imploded near the Titanic wreck, killing CEO Stockton Rush and four passengers including a teenager.
  • The implosion followed years of warnings by engineers and crew about flaws in the Titan's carbon fiber hull and Rush's refusal of safety protocols.
  • Key witnesses recalled Rush downplaying hull cracks and safety concerns while firing dissenting employees like engineering director Tony Nissen, who refused to pilot the Titan.
  • The Titan lost contact about 90 minutes into its descent and was crushed by ocean pressure, while documentaries on Netflix and Discovery recount these events with interviews from involved parties.
  • After a two-year investigation, the U.S. Coast Guard is expected to release a final report soon, with OceanGate having permanently ceased operations since the disaster.
