Final report pins Titan tragedy on OceanGate’s flaws and weak oversight

Canada’s Transportation Safety Board’s final report blames OceanGate’s failures, design flaws, and inadequate regulatory oversight for the Titan submersible disaster, finding that the carbon-fiber hull properties were never validated and the construction/testing did not follow standard engineering practices, leaving the pressure hull vulnerable during repeated dives; five passengers died in 2023 and OceanGate subsequently ceased operations, with findings echoing the prior US NTSB assessment.
