In most cases, personal drive and ambition take you to all the right places, but sometimes, as is examined in the forthcoming Netflix documentary, Titan: The OceanGate Disaster, it can be a double-edged sword that can drive things too far, bringing on a disaster.

Based on true events and presenting new information, this story that captivated news all over the world will premiere on the streaming network on June 11, 2025.

In 2023, led by entrepreneur and inventor Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, the company that produced a small submersible, Titan, a five-person team went into the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean with a goal to view the wreck of the Titanic. On June 18, two hours into the expedition, near the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, the submersible lost contact with its surface ship.

Discovery’s new documentary “Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster” premiered Wednesday night, revealing that “Expedition Unknown” host Josh Gates actually toured the OceanGate Titan submersible two years before its infamous 2023 implosion — and the adventurer deemed what he found concerning.

In 2021, Gates began working on an “Expedition Unknown” episode with OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, who tragically died along with four other passengers on a planned deep sea expedition to tour the wreckage of the Titanic. They intended on putting a spotlight on Rush’s seemingly game-changing underwater explorations. Things did not go according to plan, however, as Gates’ first trip underwater in Rush’s sub was mired by enough technical problems that he ultimately decided to scrap the episode altogether.

After giving the world two years to breathe following the devastating, fatal OceanGate tragedy, Netflix is releasing a documentary about what went wrong underwater. “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” hails from Story Syndicate, the producing team behind “Gone Girls” and “Britney v Spears.” Mark Monroe directs the feature which will premiere at the Tribeca Festival on June 6 before streaming on Netflix June 11.

The Titan submersible was voyaging to the ruins of the Titanic in June 2023. All of the members onboard died. The submersible was operated by American sea tourism and expedition company OceanGate; the Titan went missing for four days while carrying five passengers, including OceanGate CEO Rush. On June 22, debris of the vessel was discovered on the ocean floor.

The synopsis for the doc reads: “‘Titan: The Oceangate Disaster’ delves into the psyche of billionaire OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and explores his relentless quest to bring oceanic exploration to the masses — at any cost.

The first footage showing the wreckage of the Titan submersible was released by the US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation (Mbi), as part of a public hearing into the vessel’s 2023 implosion. This footage, which was captured on June 22, 2024, shows the Titan submersible’s severed tail cone and other debris from the incident. The wreck is located several hundred yards from the location of the Titanic shipwreck, officials said. All five people on board the vessel were killed in their ill-fated attempt to dive to the Titanic. The passengers included Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate; British businessman Hamish Harding; British-Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood; and French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

The wife of Shahzada Dawood, the heir to a $1.6 billion business who died when the OceanGate Titan submersible imploded, will be receiving less than $122,090 due to technical problems with the will.

Dawood, alongside his 19-year-old son Suleman, died in the submersible implosion, just 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic. Also aboard was OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, UK billionaire Hamish Harding and French explorer Paul Henry Nargeolet. A ticket on the sub cost $250,000.

The heir to the Dawood business dynasty, among one of the richest families in Pakistan, Dawood’s personal net worth was an estimated $347 million and his family business had a revenue of $1.6 billion. Dawood and his family lived in a Surrey, England, mansion with his wife Christine and their two children.

However, as Dawood was domiciled in Pakistan, he died without a valid British will and left barely any of his fortune to Christine in Britain. A...

A previously undisclosed documentary about the Titan submersible disaster is in post-production, with producers aiming for a 2025 debut at film festivals “and distribution across major platforms.”

Dirty Dozen Productions, working in collaboration with RadicalMedia, is behind the project, which is being directed by Aron Arngrimsson; according to a release, Arngrimsson “was the last person to see the Titan crew alive, closing the submersible hatch and waving the crew on its way.”

The OceanGate vessel piloted by company founder Stockton Rush and carrying five people including Stockton dipped below the waves of the North Atlantic in June 2023 on a mission to visit the wreckage of the Titanic. But within about 90 minutes of the dive, the submersible lost communications with the mother ship, triggering a desperate rescue mission that riveted the world’s attention. Four days later, a remotely operated underwater vehicle discovered the Titan wreckage and investigation revealed the craft had imploded on descent,...

The final messages sent from the OceanGate submersible have been revealed, just before the tragic catastrophe occurred on board in June of 2023, claiming the lives of 5 passengers.

The five on board were British billionaire Hamish Harding, British businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman, former French Navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and chief executive of OceanGate (the company running the voyage) Stockton Rush. Our continued thoughts are with their families and loved ones.

The submersible was headed to the Titanic wreck site to explore. The submarine imploded while thousands of meters underwater.

Now, during a two-week hearing which began on Monday (September 16), U.S. Coast Guard officials revealed the sub’s final message to the surface. Waiting for the submersible at the surface of the water was a ship called the Polar Prince.

In the aftermath of the unexpected implosion of the Titanic deep-sea submersible in the North Atlantic in June 2024, the family of one of the five victims has sought compensation from the operator, Oceangate.

The relatives of French scientist Paul-Henri Nargeolet – one of the leading experts on the Titanic wreck – have demanded $50 million in compensation.

The lawsuit was filed in a Seattle court in the U.S. state of Washington, alleging gross negligence on the part of the operator and the plaintiffs. The submarine’s implosion occurred 88 years after the Titanic’s initial demise in 1912.

In the aftermath of the implosion of the Titan submersible, which claimed the lives of all five individuals on board, a purported log of the crew’s final moments emerged online, only to be swiftly discredited by federal investigators.

A team of federal investigators “found no evidence” that the passengers aboard the Titan were aware of the impending catastrophic failure of the vessel on June 18, 2023. The detailed transcript that began to circulate shortly after the submersible went missing in the Atlantic Ocean has now been deemed a complete fabrication.

“I’m confident it’s a false transcript,” said Captain Jason Neubauer, a retired member of the U.S. Coast Guard who serves as chairman of the Marine Board of Investigation, told The New York Times. “It was made up.”

The viral transcript suggested the Titan’s occupants, which included OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, billionaires Shahzada Dawood and Hamish Harding, Dawood’s son Suleman,...

Newly surfaced comments made by OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush before the fatal Titan submersible incident, which claimed the lives of five individuals, have resurfaced ahead of an upcoming documentary.

The documentary, titled Minute by Minute: The Titan Sub Disaster, set to air on the U.K.’s Channel 5, provides a detailed account of the day when the OceanGate submersible vanished in the depths of the North Atlantic. The film features an interview with Rush on St. John’s Radio in Canada, where he reportedly made the ironic remark about the upcoming expedition, “What could go wrong?”

In the interview, Rush also mentioned that they chose to schedule the expedition in June to the wreck of The Titanic and cited the calmer waters around the ship at that time.

On June 18, Rush, along with Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman and billionaire British explorer Hamish Harding,...

Nearly four months after the Titan submersible imploded on June 18, the U.S. Coast Guard believes it has found more human remains of the five submarine passengers onboard.

In what was likely a final attempt to salvage the bodies, the Coast Guard has recovered more “presumed human remains” retrieved from inside the debris field. The remains are set to be cataloged and analyzed by the Coast Guard’s medical professionals to make an official determination.

Since the incident, the US, Canada, UK and France have been leading an investigation to find and recover the remains of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son 19-year-old Sulaiman Dawood.

Rush had charged each passenger $250,000 per ticket for the experience. He claimed that the Titan’s design would meet or exceed industry standards for subs.

Deadline reports that MindRiot Entertainment is developing a movie based on the OceanGate Titan submersible tragedy, which caught the attention of the world in June 2023.

The OceanGate Titan submersible lost contact with its mothership nearly two hours into its deep-sea dive near the wreckage of the Titanic. A massive search took place in an attempt to locate the submersible and rescue the occupants before their air ran out, but four days later, debris was discovered that led investigators to believe the vehicle had imploded, claiming the lives of all five onboard: OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British businessman Hamish Harding, former French Navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman.

The movie will be titled Salvaged, and will focus on the events before, during, and after the five-day tragedy, which made headlines over one week in mid-June.

The OceanGate Titan submersible went missing on June 18, and it set off a huge search for the vessel, which was occupied by five people – Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, Paul-Henry Nargeolet, and CEO of the company, Stockton Rush.

Remains of the wreckage were found near the Titanic just days later, which the vessel was going to view at the bottom of the Atlantic.

Here’s all that occurred during the tragedy.

MindRiot Entertainment is developing a movie based on the OceanGate submersible implosion tragedy that occurred in June, with the film currently titled Salvaged. The filmmakers aim to honor those involved in the tragedy and address the flaws of the media system that convicts people without due process. The movie will cover the events before, during, and after the tragedy, shedding light on the truth and dispelling salacious narratives.

Living up to the idea that a real-life tragedy will be turned into the next big movie as quickly as possible, MindRiot Entertainment is now developing a project based on OceanGate and the submersible implosion tragedy that happened back in June. Yes, just a few months ago. The project has tapped E. Brian Dobbins of comedy slasher The Blackening and the TV series Black-ish to co-produce.

MindRiot’s own Justin MacGregor and Jonathan Keasey are on board to co-write the script, which currently has the title Salvaged,...

A film about the OceanGate Titan submersible incident is in the works. The tragic event, which claimed the lives of five people who were attempting to visit the wreck of the Titanic, has sparked interest from Hollywood producers.

According to Deadline1, the film will be based on the book “Titan: The Final Voyage” by journalist Jessica Parker, who covered the search and rescue operation for the BBC. Parker’s book, which will be published in October, is described as a “gripping account of the human drama, the technological challenges, and the ethical dilemmas” surrounding the incident.

The film will be produced by Mark Gordon and Amy Pascal, who have previously worked on films such as “The Martian” and “Spider-Man: Homecoming”. The director and cast have not been announced yet, but Deadline reports that several A-list actors are interested in the project.

The missing OceanGate Titan submersible tragedy from earlier this year is being made into a movie.

MindRiot Entertainment and producer E. Brian Dobbins are making a movie about the OceanGate incident. Dobbins will co-produce and MindRiot’s Justin MacGregor and Jonathan Keasey will write the film.

The Titan submersible caught the world’s attention in June 2023 after it went missing during a deep sea underwater excursion near the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean. The submersible lost contact with its mother ship 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive, and the five-man crew was feared dead as the oxygen supply was dwindling in the high-pressure conditions. Four days after the sub went missing, a remotely operated underwater vehicle discovered debris near the Titanic wreck, and the Titan submersible was believed to have imploded.

All five of the crew members aboard the Titan died; they were British businessman Hamish Harding...

A video by AiTelly describing the Titan submersible implosion has become a sensation on Youtube, hitting five million views in only 11 days.

The six-minute video uses animations to show how the implosion that killed five men, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, Paul-Henry Nargeolet and Stockton Rush, would have occurred, including the different factors leading up to the incident.

One of the issues with the submersible was the material used to create it. Instead of utilizing steel, aluminum and titanium, which has successfully been used in other submarines, Ocean Gate used “an experimental design.” Carbon fibers were applied, which can be advantageous as it is a light material, but it has not been studied for deep sea use. The main concern with it is that “it can crack and break suddenly,” which is probably why it is not frequently experimented with.

Due to the use of carbon fibers and the extreme pressure,...

After its Titan submersible imploded and killed all five passengers on board, OceanGate has announced that it has suspended commercial operations.

But the company’s website still shows highlight clips of expeditions as well as tour offerings to the Titanic. No additional information was provided, and OceanGate has not responded to any media outlets for comment.

The company hosted $250,000 tourist voyages on its Titan submersible to the remains of the Titanic, which are located approximately 2.4 miles below the ocean’s surface.

On June 18, the Titan was about 1.75 hours into its journey when it lost communication capabilities with its mother ship. The submersible did not return, starting an international search that lasted for the next couple of days.

But on June 22, authorities stated that the Titan had undergone a “catastrophic implosion.” The five victims onboard were later identified as OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British businessman Hamish Harding,...

James Cameron has dispelled rumors that he is making a movie about OceanGate, the company that built a submersible meant to sustain tours of the Titanic wreckage that imploded last month with five passengers on board.

“I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now. I’m Not in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be,” Cameron tweeted.

Cameron famously directed Titanic, the romantic epic about the 1912 shipwreck, and has himself traveled underwater to the crash site over 33 times. He has even visited the Mariana Trench, one of the deepest points in the ocean, in a submersible he designed and built himself. Following the Titan implosion, he joined a chorus of voices who criticized OceanGate for going ahead with a vehicle that wasn’t up to traditional safety standards.

“Many people in the community were very concerned about this sub,...

James Cameron loves the water, but he isn’t diving into the story of the OceanGate submersible anytime soon. The “Avatar” and “Titanic” director has denied false reports that he is developing a new project based on the Titan submersible explosion.

On Thursday, British tabloid The Sun published an “exclusive” story claiming that Cameron is in discussions with a major streaming service to direct a drama series based on the destruction of the Titan, which occurred in June. In a tweet Saturday, Cameron denied the story, calling it an “offensive” rumor and saying he will never direct any project about OceanGate.

“I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now,” Cameron wrote. “I’m Not in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be.”

James Cameron is one of the world’s preeminent filmmakers largely thanks to the record-smashing, awards-grabbing success of 1997’s “Titanic” — but don’t expect a deep-sea follow-up covering June’s OceanGate submersible tragedy anytime soon.

Responding to online rumors that he’s attached himself to a film project covering the so-called “Titan” submersible’s tragic undersea implosion while on a tourist expedition to view Titanic ruins on June 18 — an event that left five dead, including controversial OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush — Cameron heatedly said that there is no such project in the works. He appeared angry he had to respond to the rumors at all.

“I don’t respond to offensive rumors in the media usually, but I need to now. I’m not in talks about an OceanGate film, nor will I ever be,” the director tweeted early Saturday.

OceanGate Expeditions, the company whose Titan submersible imploded last month, announced Thursday that it will be shuttering most of its business offerings. “OceanGate has suspended all exploration and commercial operations,” a note on the company’s website reads.

The Titan submersible went missing on June 18, prompting worldwide media attention. Four days after its disappearance, the company announced that it believed five people, including its own CEO, Stockton Rush, has died while on an expedition to visit the Titanic’s wreckage, southeast of Newfoundland. The U.S. Coast Guard said the submersible suffered a “catastrophic implosion.

New Delhi, July 5 (Ians) US-based global sandwich chain Subway has faced criticism for creating an advertisement based on OceanGate’s Titanic submarine tragedy, which resulted in the presumed loss of all five occupants due to an implosion.

The ad which reads: “Our subs don’t implode” was displayed on the outdoor sign in a Subway restaurant in Georgia in the US.

The move has faced widespread criticism from internet users, with many condemning it as ‘distasteful’. “Subway, this is at your store in Rincon, Ga (Georgia). Not only is it distasteful, it’s just sad.

Do better,” a user tweeted with an attached image of the outdoor sign that read the ad. “I’ll never eat at Subway ever. It is distasteful and disrespectful to families who lost loved ones,” a user commented.

“What an absolute disgrace for Subway to do this they should be ashamed that people lost there...

Stockton Rush, who was the OceanGate CEO and Titan submersible pilot, offered discounted tickets to his billionaire friend, Jay Bloom, for seats on the Titan submersible.

Bloom, who is a Las Vegas investor and real estate developer, took to Facebook to share screenshots of texts that he and the late CEO exchanged months before the fatal trip to Titanic.

In February, Rush asked Bloom if there was any “progress on joining” their Titanic dive this year, to which Bloom replied that his son’s friend “researched what could go wrong and put a little scare in him.”

He then said that he was trying to “talk him down” and added that his son, Sean, was “excited to go, but concerned about the danger.”

The OceanGate CEO then offered to have a video call with Sean and said he was “curious” about what the “uninformed” had to say, wondering if the...

“Presumed human remains” have been located after more debris from the Titan submersible was discovered.

On Wednesday, the Coast Guard released a statement detailing their next steps in the investigation.

“United States medical professionals will conduct a formal analysis of presumed human remains that have been carefully recovered within the wreckage at the site of the incident,” the statement read.

This contradicts a previous statement made by a Coast Guard official that it is unlikely the victim’s bodies would be recovered.

It was determined after a multi-day search and rescue that garnered international support that the five victims died on June 18 from an implosion.

Before this information was uncovered, authorities were racing against the clock as the sub only had 96 hours of oxygen available.

The Coast Guard received the debris from the implosion last Wednesday after it arrived in Canada. The wreckage was seen mangled in large chunks while...

The “presumed human remains” of the passengers aboard the Titan submersible have been recovered.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Coast Guard announced that crews recovered the remains while searching through the wreckage.

Per a news release from the Coast Guard, medical professionals will conduct a “formal analysis” of the “presumed human remains” that have been carefully recovered within the wreckage at the site of the incident.

Additionally, the Marine Board of Investigation (Mbi) intends to transport the evidence aboard a U.S. Coast Guard cutter to a port in the United States, where the Mbi will be able to facilitate further analysis and testing.

While an investigation is ongoing, Mbi Chair Captain Jason Neubauer says the evidence uncovered from the submersible’s wreck will “provide investigators from several international jurisdictions with critical insights into the cause of this tragedy.”

The statement continued, “There is still a substantial amount of work to...

Fans of the classic animated series The Simpsons claim that an episode of the show foreshadowed the OceanGate submersible Titanic expedition.

According to Daily Mail, fans of the iconic TV show have asserted that the 10th episode of season 17 bears striking similarities to the real-life occurrence. The episode "Homer's Paternity Coot" sees Homer reconnecting with his long-lost father, Mason Fairbanks. Fairbanks recovers lost sea treasure and bonds with Homer on a treasure expedition. The pair discover a shipwrecked boat split in half, similar to the Titanic. After recovering two treasure boxes, Homer realizes that Fairbanks is missing and follows a luminous fish to find him. Homer finds himself stuck and running dangerously low on oxygen as he drifts out of consciousness. He eventually wakes up in a hospital, surrounded by his family, after being in a coma for three days.

Among the handful of new titles arriving on Netflix on July 1 is James Cameron’s “Titanic,” an addition that is rubbing some people the wrong way given last week’s tragedy aboard the OceanGate Titan submersible. Five members traveling inside the Titan were killed when the submersible imploded while en route to visit the wreckage of the Titanic in the Atlantic Ocean.

Some users on social media have criticized Netflix for bringing Cameron’s “Titanic” to the streaming platform so soon after the submersible tragedy. As one user wrote, “Netflix is overstepping the boundaries of decency on this timing.” Many people are accusing the streamer of attempting to capitalize on the Titan deaths by adding “Titanic” to its library.

“People died in a tragic accident at the Titanic site and now to capitalize on the moment to garner viewers is beyond distasteful,” another Twitter user wrote.

“He said, ‘I’m going to solve the Rubik’s Cube 3,700 metres below sea at the Titanic’,” she recalled.

Suleman was a student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow.

Christine said her son carried a Rubik’s Cube with him everywhere, and was able to solve the complex puzzle in just 12 seconds.

According to BBC, Suleman applied to Guinness World Records and his father, Shahzada, had brought a camera to capture the moment.

Toronto, June 24 (Ians) Canadian authorities on Saturday launched a probe into the fatal occurrence involving the Canadian-flagged vessel Polar Prince and the privately-operated submersible Titan, which would have imploded and killed all five people on board.

The Canadian-flagged cargo vessel Polar Prince was at the Titanic wreck site, 325 nautical miles south-southeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland and Labrador, providing surface support to the submersible Titan.

There were 17 crew members and 24 people on board the Polar Prince.

Five people from the Polar Prince were on board the Titan and approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes after the submersible began its descent, the support vessel lost contact, according to the Transportation Safety Board of Canada (Tsb).

The US Coast Guard on Thursday confirmed that the debris found on the ocean floor near the Titanic wreckage consisted of pieces of the missing submersible. As a result, the five people on board the Titan are presumed dead.

Did The Simpsons “predict” the OceanGate Titanic submersible tragedy?

The animated series has been surprisingly prophetic when it comes to past historical events, from the global pandemic and “invasion” of murder hornets to the election of President Donald Trump and Lady Gaga’s high-flying Super Bowl performance. It appears the show may have also “predicted” the disappearance of the OceanGate submersible, which lost contact Sunday while descending to the site of the Titanic wreckage with five on board.

Amid news of the OceanGate tragedy, a 2006 episode of The Simpsons, titled “Homer’s Paternity Coot,” resurfaced on social media, presenting striking similarities to current events. In the episode, Homer Simpson embarks on a deep-sea expedition to search for long-lost treasure with his biological father in tiny submersibles. After searching for a while, they come across an abandoned ship site that’s filled with treasure.

But soon, things get hairy for the...

The search for a submersible sent to tour the remains of the Titanic dominated coverage across cable news networks all week, along with the tragic news that the vessel most likely suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing all five on board.

According to the latest figures from Nielsen, all three cable news networks saw a viewership increase versus their averages from last month.

On Thursday, Fox News averaged 1.43 million viewers throughout the day, compared to 996,000 for MSNBC and 706,000 for CNN. In the 25-54 demo for total day viewers, Fox News averaged 184,000, compared to 179,000 for CNN and 124,000 for MSNBC. The audiences were slightly higher than on Wednesday.

In primetime, Fox News averaged 1.88 million, compared to 1.52 million for MSNBC and 859,000 for CNN. In the 25-54 demo, Fox News averaged 193,000, tied with CNN at 193,000. MSNBC averaged 155,000.

Since news broke on Thursday that the missing Titan submersible had imploded near the site of the Titanic, Celine Dion’s Titanic theme “My Heart Will Go On” has seen a dramatic bump in streams.

Per TMZ, the Oscar-winning song has racked up more than 500,000 Spotify streams since the search and rescue effort for the OceanGate sub ended when a debris field was found on the ocean floor.

According to the Associated Press, the US Navy had analyzed acoustic data and found an anomaly “consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost.” The Navy then passed on the information to the Coast Guard, who continued the search until the debris was found.

The Titan was last seen on Sunday, June 18th before losing communication with a research ship. Its operator, OceanGate, offers tourism rides to the Titanic for $250,000 each.

Those who lost loved ones on the Titan submersible have been sharing emotional tribute messages.

OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet are thought to have all died after the submarine imploded as they headed out to see the Titanic’s wreckage.

Harding’s family and Action Aviation, the global sales company he was the chairman of, said of the British billionaire: “Today, we are united in grief with the other families who have also lost their loved ones on the Titan submersible.

“Hamish Harding was a loving husband to his wife and a dedicated father to his two sons, whom he loved deeply. To his team in Action Aviation, he was a guide, an inspiration, a support, and a Living Legend,” they added in the statement to People.

San Francisco, June 23 (Ians) Death likely came very fast to the five passengers on board the Titan submersible and according to submarine experts, the vessel would have imploded and killed its crew so fast that those aboard “never knew it happened”.

Ofer Ketter, an expert in submersibles, told The New York Post that said the “implosion would occur within a millisecond, if not a nanosecond, if something breached the hull of the vessel to cause a loss in pressure”.

“They never knew it happened, which is actually very positive in this very negative situation. It was instantaneous — before even their brain could even send a type of message to their body that they’re having pain,” Ketter, co-founder of a private submersible company called Sub-Merge, was quoted as saying.

Debris from the OceanGate Expeditions’ Titan submersible was found late on Thursday, confirming all those aboard had died.

By the time communication was lost,...

New York, June 23 (Ians) OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, one of the five passengers killed after an “instantaneous implosion” of the Titan submersible tour to the Titanic, once said that he has “broken some rules” to make the deep-sea submarine.

“I’ve broken some rules to make this (Titan). I think I’ve broken them with logic and good engineering behind me,” Rush was quoted as saying in the video that has now surfaced on social media after the tragedy.

Rush said that deep-sea submersibles “as a rule” should not be made with carbon fibre and titanium but he did anyway, reports Fox Business.

He continued: “For us, it’s a very similar tragedy where warnings went unheeded. To take place at the same exact site with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing.

The five passengers who were aboard the Titan submersible have reportedly been killed after a “catastrophic implosion,” officials have confirmed, as per the Independent.

The US Coast Guard announced on Thursday that several parts of the Titan were found in a “debris field” approximately 1600 feet from the bow of the Titanic wreckage at the bottom of the sea floor, which is what the passengers submerged to view as part of the experience. The Coast Guard determined their death following the discovery of the tragic incident.

The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed today that the debris field discovered near the wreckage of the Titanic was from the Titan submersible. The occupants of the sub, Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, are feared dead after a “catastrophic implosion.” Titanic filmmaker James Cameron has weighed in on the loss of the Titan, commenting to ABC News that he was struck by the similarity to the Titanic disaster itself.

“I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself,” James Cameron said. “Where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field.” Cameron has been to the site of the Titanic wreckage many times to capture footage, and he commented that he had “spent more time on the [Titanic] than the captain did back in the day.“

The debris field found near the Titanic wreckage has been confirmed to belong to OceanGate’s Titan Submarine. “The debris is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the pressure chamber,” Rear Admiral John Mauger told the press. “Upon this determination, we immediately notified the families. On behalf of the United States Coast Guard and the entire unified command, I offer my deepest condolences to the families. I can only imagine what this has been like for them, and I hope that this discovery provides some solace during this difficult time.” OceanGate, the company in charge of the expedition, has also stated that the five passengers onboard are dead. A statement from the company reads, in part, “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.” See it in full below.

Oscar-winning Titanic director James Cameron has weighed in on the Titan submersible tragedy that now appears to have claimed the lives of four passengers and its pilot.

Cameron told ABC News on Thursday: “Many people in the community were concerned about this sub and even wrote letters to the company saying that what they were doing was too experimental and what they were doing needed to be certified,” Cameron said. “I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night and many died as a result. It’s a very similar tragedy at the exact same site. It’s astonishing and really quite surreal.”

Cameron noted he’s a submersible designer himself and that he understands the challenges of making such a...

James Cameron is speaking out on the tragic Titan submersible voyage.

The Oscar winner and avid underwater adventurer told ABC News that after participating in over 33 dives, he is well-acquainted with the dangers of deep-sea exploration.

“I’m struck by the similarity of the Titanic disaster itself, where the captain was repeatedly warned about ice ahead of his ship, and yet he steamed at full speed into an ice field on a moonless night. And many people died as a result, and for a very similar tragedy, where warnings went unheeded, to take place at the same exact site, with all the diving that’s going on all around the world, I think it’s just astonishing,” Cameron said. “It’s really quite surreal, and of course, Ph [Paul-Henry Nargeolet], the French legendary submersible dive pilot, is a friend of mine. It’s a very small community. I’ve known...

The pilot and four passengers of a missing submersible that disappeared en route to the wreckage of the Titanic are believed to be dead, the expedition company said Thursday.

Pilot and chief executive Stockton Rush, along with passengers Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding and Paul-Henri Nargeolet “have sadly been lost,” OceanGate Expeditions said in a statement.

OceanGate did not provide details when the company announced the “loss of life” in a statement or how officials knew the crewmembers perished. The Titan’s 96-hour oxygen supply likely ended early Thursday.

OceanGate has been chronicling the Titanic’s decay and the underwater ecosystem around it via yearly voyages since 2021.

Later Thursday, U.S. Coast Guard officials said the search had uncovered parts of the Titan consistent with an implosion. The Coast Guard said the pieces were discovered within the search area by a remotely operated underwater robot.

Updated with latest: The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed at a news conference today that “a debris field was discovered within the search area by an Rov near the Titanic” is, in fact, from the Titan submersible. The five people aboard are feared dead after what one official termed as a debris field consistent with a “catastrophic implosion.”

The Coast Guard briefing was led by Rear Adm. John Mauger, who offered his deepest condolences to the families. Mauger also offered the following details: The first piece of wreckage identified was the tail cone of the Titan. It was discovered 1600 feet from the bow of the titanic. The Rov subsequently found the front end barrel of the pressure hull.

“The debris is consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” he added.

Multiple media outlets received a statement from OceanGate, the company which operated the sub, that read in part, “We now...

Updated: The U.S. Coast Guard has located “likely human remains” from the Titan submersible, and will be transporting the evidence back to the United States, the Associated Press said Wednesday.

All five members of the missing Titan submarine are believed to be dead, the company OceanGate said in a statement on June 22.

“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,” OceanGate said in a statement. “These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure, and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans. 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.”

Update (June 22): A debris field has been found in the search area around the Titanic shipwreck, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed on Thursday.

The debris was discovered by a remote-operated vehicle (Rov) commandeered by the Horizon Arctic. The U.S. Coast Guard has scheduled a press briefing at 3 p.m. Est to provide a full update on the findings and what they may signal about the fate of the Titan submersible.

The frantic search for the vessel, which went missing on Sunday almost two hours into its dive to see the Titanic, reached mission critical on Thursday as the five crew members reached the final hours of their estimated air supply overnight.

The search area for the truck-sized vessel is now 10,000 square miles of ocean but rescue teams are still struggling to locate the sub. Noises picked up on Tuesday and Wednesday in regular intervals provided some hope that...

Rapper Nicki Minaj has expressed her dismay over the ‘Titan’ submersible that went missing with five people on board while on a deep sea mission to spot the wreckage of the sunken ship Titanic. Minaj has also voiced criticism of the luxury activity.

Minaj also sent prayers for the five missing passengers and hoped for their safe return.

“I’m keeping all five passengers in my prayers and wishing all the...

The search for the OceanGate submarine is nearing a critical stage with the submersible’s oxygen supply due to expire this morning.

The Titan sub went missing hours after setting off for the Titanic wreckage off the coast of Canada earlier this week. Rescue teams using high-tech robotic equipment have been desperately searching for the five crew members on board the sub, which can provide about 96 hours of oxygen.

The possibility exists the crew have been conserving energy and noises have been detected deep underwater but so far the sub has not been located. It’s believed oxygen onboard will last until about 7am Et/4am Pt, though sea captains have said the projected supply could last longer.
