from Soundside · host KUOW News and Information
The U.S. Coast guard says it is still investigating the cause of a catastrophic implosion that destroyed the Titan submersible on a dive in the North Atlantic, killing all five passengers onboard. Titan was built and operated by Everett-based OceanGate. The company was a player in the nascent deep sea tourism industry, shuttling people to the site of the Titanic wreck at a cost of $250,000 a ticket. A new article in WIRED magazine details that, for years before Titan disappeared, engineers and experts in the submersible industry had warned OceanGate, and its CEO Stockton Rush, that Titan had potentially fatal design problems.
