US Coast Guard Probes Titan Sub Disaster 15 Months Ago, Reveals New Footage
Sep 20, 2024, 08:42 AM
The U.S. Coast Guard is conducting a formal inquiry into the Titan submersible disaster that occurred 15 months ago, resulting in the deaths of five people. During the hearings, new video footage and images, including the first photo of the tail cone, have been released, revealing the catastrophic damage to the vessel. Testimonies from experts and former employees have provided insights into the potential causes of the implosion, including a malfunction that occurred days before the fatal dive. A mission specialist testified that the submersible had to abort a previous dive due to mechanical issues. Additionally, the inquiry has challenged the notion that the passengers were aware of their impending danger. The hearings continue to raise questions about the operational practices of OceanGate, the company behind the Titan submersible.
