US EditionTitan Submersible: Items that Survived the Implosion
- The Titan submersible imploded on June 18, 2023, during its first dive of the year near the Titanic wreck at 3,800 meters depth, killing all five aboard.
- The implosion followed limited testing of the craft, which OceanGate primarily conducted at their Everett, Washington marina headquarters starting in early 2018.

- These findings indicate substantial risks at extreme depths and raise concerns over company priorities, as some former employees and officials stated that OceanGate prioritized profit over safety.
