Jaw-Dropping Report Reveals Chilling New Details On The Titan Sub Implosion
Two years after the tragic implosion of the OceanGate Titan submarine, investigators have produced more documentation revealing what went wrong on that fatal day.
In June 2023, five individuals hoping to view the wreckage of the Titanic up close inside the 22-foot-long, 25,000-pound submersible made of titanium and carbon fiber. But the sub spontaneously collapsed in on itself, killing OceanGate owner Stockton Rush and all his guests on board.
Two years later, the release of audio and video capturing the Titan’s final moments paints a bleak picture of a vessel that was experiencing hardware failures while the company received warnings that went unheeded.
The U.S. Coast Guard is leading the government’s investigation into the matter and has helped recover wreckage from the Titan, which was strewn across the ocean floor more than 13,000 feet below its surface.
A series of hearings held by the Coast Guard last year indicated that the Titan was being guided by an altered gaming controller. Meanwhile, testimony from expert witnesses shows that OceanGate was given multiple warnings about the quality and safety of the submersible before its final descent.
Central to criticism of the vessel is its design. While deep-sea submarines are typically designed with steel, Rush had maintained that his revolutionary combination of carbon fiber would prove to be both durable and lightweight.

Wreckage from the sub was “consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” Rear Admiral John Mauger of the U.S. Coast Guard said shortly after the accident.
Rush, 61, perished alongside Hamish Harding, 58, a British billionaire who was chair of Action Aviation, a global sales company focused on aviation. He left behind a wife and four children.
Shahzada Dawood, 48, a wealthy Pakistani businessman, died alongside his son Suleman Dawood, 19, who was excited to travel with him to visit the site of the famous ship that sank in 1912.
Two new documentaries, “Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster” and Netflix’s “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster,” have included new video from the submarine’s final moments, including the moment when Rush’s wife heard the “suspected acoustic signature” sound of the Titan.
“What was that bang?” Wendy Rush could be heard asking as the Titan was 400 meters away from its destination on the ocean floor.
That sound, the Coast Guard said, “later correlated with the loss of communication and tracking,” and “is believed to be the sound of the Titan’s implosion reaching the surface of the ocean,” USA Today reported.
In one Coast Guard hearing, the final transmission from the Titan relayed to the surface, “All good here.”
