Among the last messages from the crew of the Titan were 'all good here.' The submersible lost contact shortly after discussing its depth and weight on descent.
The Titan imploded on June 18, 2023, leading to discussions about private undersea exploration's future. The submersible was inadequately reviewed while in storage.
Tony Nissen, engineering director for the Titan's company, felt rushed to begin operations. He confirmed immense pressure to deploy '100%.' Safety decisions were complex.
Nissen revealed that the Titan had been struck by lightning during a test in 2018, sparking concerns about its safety prior to the fatal dive.
