The Titan submersible disaster of 2023 captured public attention as it evolved from a last-ditch search for its missing passengers to a tragic recovery effort after the vessel imploded at great depths. The five individuals onboard, including well-known explorers and businessmen, were killed instantly. Reports surfaced about pervasive safety concerns regarding OceanGate, the operating company, including prior warnings about design flaws. The Netflix documentary "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" reveals that the implosion was almost certain, stemming from the innovative but flawed construction of the submersible.
According to the new Netflix documentary Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, the sub's implosion was virtually guaranteed by its design. I'm convinced that the submersible Titan could have imploded at any time, said the film's director, Mark Monroe.
Even as the search for the sub continued, concerning reports about OceanGate’s safety record emerged, including claims that a whistleblower had warned of a likely implosion years earlier.
