Titanic Submersible Search Uncovers Chilling Discoveries and Potential Catastrophes

Former passengers who have ridden on board the Titan, the submersible that disappeared Sunday with five on board while en route to the wreckage site of the Titanic, have described in detail the chilling flaws they encountered during their trips—with one passenger calling the voyage a “suicide mission.” Many spoke of electrical and communication failures, and some shared equally-chilling tales from other submersibles, highlighting why trips that traverse miles below the ocean’s surface are so rare. Shocking details about the Titan and OceanGate have emerged this week, including the surfacing of comments from the company’s founder, Stockton Rush, bemoaning regulations and calling safety efforts a “pure waste.”
