The Titan suffered a catastrophic implosion due to intense ocean pressure, leading to the tragic deaths of five individuals, including notable explorers and businessmen.
The Marine Board of Investigation has cited the detached tail cone and other fragments discovered on the ocean floor as definitive evidence of a catastrophic implosion.
In the moments leading up to the incident, the crew communicated that everything was fine, indicating a misunderstanding of the perilous situation as they descended.
Former engineering director Tony Nissen expressed his belief that there was pressure to launch the Titan quickly, raising questions about the safety protocols that were followed.
