U.S. Coast Guard Investigates Titan Submersible Tragedy

News summary

The U.S. Coast Guard hearings into the Titan submersible tragedy revealed significant findings regarding the June implosion that killed all five passengers. Key moments included the final communication from the Titan's crew stating 'All good here' just before losing contact at a depth of 3,346 meters. Emotional testimony from mission specialist Renata Rojas highlighted the crew's optimism before the dive, while former OceanGate operations director David Lochridge criticized the company's safety practices, suggesting the disaster was 'inevitable' due to the sub’s carbon fiber construction. A chilling simulation illustrated the Titan's final journey, showing its communications dwindling until the support vessel lost tracking altogether. The hearings underscore the urgent need to address safety protocols in deep-sea explorations to prevent future tragedies.
