Coast Guard Investigates 2023 Titan Sub Implosion, Reveals New Footage
Sep 20, 2024, 06:02 AM
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a public hearing to investigate the 2023 Titan submersible disaster, which resulted in the deaths of all five passengers. The hearing has revealed new footage and images of the wreckage, including the tail cone, confirming the catastrophic implosion of the sub. Testimonies from mission specialists and former passengers have highlighted multiple malfunctions and issues leading up to the fatal dive. Notably, the submersible had to abort a dive days before the fatal mission due to mechanical failures. Experts have also challenged the notion that the passengers were aware of the imminent danger. Witnesses recalled seeing the crew smiling before the implosion. The hearing continues to raise questions about the operational practices of OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible.
