US Edition‘What was that bang?’ Footage captures sound of Titan sub’s implosion
- On June 18, 2023, approximately an hour and a half into its journey down to the Titanic shipwreck, the Titan submersible suffered a catastrophic implosion, resulting in the immediate deaths of all five individuals aboard.
- The catastrophic failure followed warnings from experts and former OceanGate employees about the sub's unconventional carbon fiber hull which had shown damage a year earlier.
- The vessel had not undergone standard independent safety certification, and the US Coast Guard released footage capturing the sound of the implosion reaching the ocean surface.
- OceanGate extended heartfelt sympathy to the families affected, permanently shut down its operations, pledged full cooperation with ongoing investigations, and revealed that new footage will be featured in a forthcoming BBC film about the Titanic submersible tragedy.
- This incident highlights ongoing concerns about deep-sea vessel safety, especially regarding untested materials and refusal to submit to industry-standard safety checks before dives.
