‘What Was that Bang?’ Footage Captures Sound of Titan Sub’s Implosion
- On June 18th, 2023, the Titan submersible suffered a catastrophic implosion during its descent to explore the Titanic wreck in the North Atlantic, resulting in the deaths of everyone aboard.

- Following the tragedy, OceanGate ceased operations and cooperates with investigations aiming to prevent similar disasters in the future; related documentaries are forthcoming.
