Titan submersible disaster that killed 5 on way to Titanic ruins was preventable, Coast Guard says
- On June 18, 2023, the Titan submersible piloted by OceanGate's founder Stockton Rush began a dive to the Titanic wreck with five people aboard.
- The submersible lost contact during the dive, triggering a days-long international search that ended with the discovery of debris near the Titanic on June 22.
- A 335-page investigation report concluded that OceanGate's poor vessel design, inadequate maintenance, harmful workplace culture, and insufficient regulatory oversight contributed significantly to the Titan submersible's fatal implosion.
- Jason Neubauer, the board chair, stated, "the loss of five lives was preventable," attributing the most likely cause to failure of the submersible’s carbon fiber pressure hull.
- The investigation offers lessons to improve risk awareness and oversight while enabling innovation to prevent future tragedies in deep-sea expeditions.
