Titanic Submersible: New Clip Reveals Implosion Before Final Message [View all]

More details about the Titan submersible tragedy have come to light.

Nearly two years after the OceanGate Expedition’s vessel imploded with five people onboard—including CEO Stockton Rush—new footage shows the moment when the sound of the catastrophe reached the ocean’s surface.

As Wendy Rush, the director of OceanGate and Stockton’s wife, monitored data and text communications at a computer alongside employee Gary Foss on June 18, 2023, they heard a muffled thump as the submersible reached 3,300 meters. She asked Foss in the footage released by the U.S. Coast Guard on May 22, “What was that bang?”

The USCG—which used the footage as evidence to the Marine Board of Investigation as for the 2024 case into the incident—wrote alongside the clip that the sound heard “later correlated with the loss of communications and tracking” and explained that it “is believed to be the sound of the Titan’s implosion reaching the surface of the ocean.”
