‘What was that bang?’ Footage captures sound of Titan sub’s implosion

  • The Titan submersible imploded on June 18, 2023, near the Titanic wreck, killing all five people on board instantly.
  • Experts and former OceanGate employees had raised warnings about Titan's carbon fiber hull and unconventional design before the fatal dive.
  • Investigators believe the carbon fiber hull began breaking apart during a previous dive a year earlier, leading to the catastrophic implosion about 90 minutes into descent.
  • Video capturing the sound of the submersible's implosion has been submitted as part of the evidence in the investigation being conducted by the U.S. Coast Guard’s Marine Board, which has been examining the case for two years.
  • OceanGate permanently ceased operations, expressing condolences and cooperating with investigations while questions remain about safety standards and decision-making before the tragedy.
