The U.S. Coast Guard has released the first images of the Titan submersible wreckage, which imploded during its descent to explore the Titanic wreck on June 18, 2023. The images show the vessel's tail cone embedded in the seabed over 12,000 feet deep, coinciding with ongoing hearings into the incident. Evidence presented in the hearing confirmed a 'catastrophic loss' of the submersible, which resulted in the deaths of all five passengers, including notable figures like OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and explorer Hamish Harding. Initial reports indicated the U.S. Navy detected the Titan's implosion shortly after its communications were lost, but this information was not made public until days later. During the hearings, testimonies revealed pressures on OceanGate's operations and indicated that previous incidents, like a lightning strike, may have compromised the submersible's integrity. The hearings are aimed at understanding the events leading to the tragedy and the operational decisions made by OceanGate.
