OceanGate Titan Submersible Implosion (2023)

The Titan submersible implosion was a tragic accident that occurred on June 18, 2023, when a deep-sea vessel operated by OceanGate imploded while diving to the Titanic wreck, killing all five people on board. The submersible, named Titan, was designed to withstand the immense pressure of the ocean depths, but it failed to do so and collapsed inward at a very high speed. The cause of the implosion is still under investigation, but some experts have raised questions about the safety and reliability of the submersible’s carbon fibre hull. The incident sparked a massive search and rescue operation, involving several countries and agencies, but no survivors were found. The debris of the submersible was located near the Titanic wreck, confirming the fate of the vessel and its occupants
