What REALLY Happened To That Submarine? - The REAL Story of OceanGate
from Ray William Johnson: True Story Podcast · host Ray William Johnson
OceanGate submersible Titan catastrophically imploded during a descent to the Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic, killing all five people aboard, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush. The vessel lost contact approximately 1 hour and 33 minutes into its dive, and debris was later found about 1,600 feet from the Titanic's bow. Investigations revealed that the sub's carbon fiber hull had begun delaminating as early as June 2022, compromising its structural integrity. Despite warnings from experts and former employees about design flaws and safety concerns, OceanGate continued missions without obtaining third-party certification.
