The submersible was attempting to ferry tourists to the wreckage of the Titanic when it vanished on June 18th of last year. After days of scouring the Atlantic, the Coast Guard determined that the Titan had suffered a 'catastrophic implosion.'
The Coast Guard shared an ROV image of the Titan's tail cone protruding from the seafloor as part of a presentation during the first day of a public hearing that started on September 16th. This discovery led to conclusive evidence of the catastrophic loss of the submersible TITAN and the death of all five members aboard.
The US Coast Guard is still investigating whether any misconduct, negligence, or violation of law occurred that contributed to the loss of the vessel and deaths of everyone on board. It also wants to know whether there is any evidence of a physical failure or design flaw dooming the vessel.
