The vessel suffer a “catastrophic implosion” during its journey toward the iconic Titanic shipwreck.
The debris of the submersible has discover on the sea floor, approximately 500 meters away from the bow of the historic Titanic wreckage.
The Titan submersible was subject to a devastating “catastrophic implosion” of immense force and speed, attribute to the overwhelming pressure experience in the ocean’s depths.
As the exact depth at which the implosion occur is uncertain, the Titanic’s remains lie on the North Atlantic seabed about 3,800 meters (12,400 feet) below the surface, where water pressure reaches a staggering 6,000 pounds per square inch (psi).
As the average sea-level pressure stands at 14.7 psi and the bite of a large great white shark exerts around 4,000 psi.
The Titan would have collapses upon itself within milliseconds, crush by the unfathomable water pressure characteristic of the deep sea environment, trigger by a potential flaw in the hull or design.
Titan manufacture by OceanGate, had undertaken previous expeditions to the famous Titanic wreck.
But, during its recent dive to explore the site, the vessel, which had limit oxygen reserves, went missing, triggering a frantic search and rescue mission orchestrate by the US, Canadian, and French authorities.
The operation conclude as the US Coast Guard officially confirm the discovery of Titan’s wreckage in the vicinity of the Titanic wreck site.
Officials noted that the recover debris fragments from the submerge vehicle were “consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” shedding light on the grim fate that befell the missing submersible.
Just minutes before the confirmation of the tragic deep-sea expedition by the US Coast Guard, OceanGate express profound sorrow in a heartfelt statement honoring the five individuals on board.
As per OceanGate’s statement :
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost.”

Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time. We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.”
