Titan Submarine: All crew on broad found dead in Catastrophic Implosion

In a tragic incident, the five crew members onboard the missing Titan submarine died in a “catastrophic implosion,” stated the US Coast Guard.

‘Titanic’ director James Cameron, who completed 33 dives to the oceanliner’s ruin, told the BBC that the deep submergence community has alerted OceanGate of safety concerns.

According to a BBC report, OceanGate co-founder Guillermo Söhnlein denied questions about his company’s safety and certification, claiming they weren’t around during the Titan sub’s 14-year development.

According to OceanGate’s website, the expedition to the wreck, which has been operating since 2021, costs $240000 per person.

Submarine Titan:

The Titan Submarine, which began its journey to the Titanic catastrophe site at a depth of 12,500 feet in the Atlantic Ocean on Sunday, lost contact after about two hours.

According to OceanGate, all five crew inside the submersible died. On Thursday, rescue teams were working against the time to find the ship and its five-person crew. The submarine was outfitted with a four-day emergency oxygen supply, and the rescue is now nearing the critical stage.

According to India Today, When the Titan submersible launched Sunday morning in the North Atlantic, it was expected to carry a four-day supply of breathing air. Sadly later, the submarine went missing.

Aircraft, ships, and underwater equipment from the United States, Canada, and France have joined the search for the missing submersible.

On Thursday, the US Coast Guard said that an underwater vessel has discovered a debris field near the Titanic while searching for a lost submersible with five people aboard.

However, the Coast Guard’s Twitter message provided no specifics, such as whether officials believe the debris is linked to the Titan, which was on an excursion to inspect the Titanic’s wreckage.
