On June 18, 2023, the Titan submersible and its five passengers went missing during a dive to the Titanic wreck. Days of searching by the US Coast Guard, using advanced sonar and remotely operated vehicles, concluded with the discovery of debris indicating a 'catastrophic implosion.' This tragedy led to the belief that all passengers, including notable billionaires and explorers, died shortly after launch. The Titan was designed for deep-sea explorations, and the expensive ticket price highlighted the high stakes of such missions, which ultimately ended in disaster.
