OceanGate, a deep-sea exploration company, has deleted its website and social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter. The company's website now displays a message stating that it has suspended all exploration and commercial operations. The reason for this sudden disappearance is unclear. OceanGate had previously offered submersible trips to the Titanic shipwreck, but it is now speculated that the company's CEO, Stockton Rush, was more interested in funding his obsession with the Titanic's decay rather than building a tourism business.
