Titanic Submersible: Timeline of Implosion Revealed in Audio Recording
Originally appeared on E! Online
Investigators may have uncovered when exactly the 2023 Titan submersible implosion took place.
The U.S. Coast Guard released a 20-second audio recording of what is believed to be the implosion of the underwater vessel on June 18, 2023, offering a more detailed account of the ill-fated trip to explore the wreckage of the RMS Titanic.
The watercraft descended into the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada around 8 a.m. EDT with a 96-hour oxygen supply, according to ABC News.
At the beginning of the audio clip—consisting of a muffled boom sound followed by an eerie silence—an onscreen note indicated the audio was recorded at 9:34 a.m. EDT on the morning that the voyage began, suggesting the Titan imploded at that point.
Prior to the audio release, OceanGate Expeditions—the company who organized the excursion—was believed to have lost contact with the vessel roughly one hour and 45 minutes into its journey, which would be 9:45 a.m., according to the outlet.
After the Titan's 3 p.m. return time had passed, the Coast Guard received a report of an overdue submersible at 5:40 p.m. EDT.

The following day, a search for the Titan and its passengers—including Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood—was officially underway. As the rescue mission went on, a Canadian aircraft 'detected underwater noises in the search area,' according to a post from the Coast Guard on X (formerly Twitter), leading rescue efforts to be relocated 'in an attempt to explore the origin of the noises.'
But sadly, those efforts proved to be futile. On June 22, four days after the Titan's disappearance, the Coast Guard announced that debris from the submersible was recovered in the search area, followed by a statement from OceanGate declaring their belief that all five passengers 'have sadly been lost.'
'Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time,' the company said in a statement at the time. 'We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.'

Sydney Sweeney Reacts to Her Used Bathwater Going Viral
Originally appeared on E! Online Sydney Sweeney is soaping up the attention. The Anyone But You star recently made waves—literally—when she announced a partnership with Dr. Squatch for a limited-edition line of bar soaps that include an unusual, key ingredient: her actual bathwater. And in the time since, the collab has made quite the splash online. 'I think it's more fun to see everyone else talk about it,' Sydney admitted to E! News at the premiere of her new film Echo Valley on June 4, adding on how the product came to be, 'I pitched it.' (For more with Sydney, tune into E! News tonight, June 5 at 11 p.m.) After all, as Sydney pointed out in her announcement post, when she first partnered with Dr. Squatch back in December—in a commercial she filmed from a bathtub—fans couldn't get enough. 'You kept asking about my bathwater after the @drsquatch ad…' she captioned her May 30 post. 'So we kept it.' The end result? A teal-colored bar of soap called Sydney's Bathwater Bliss (available June 6). More from E!

One such endeavor has been her new Apple TV+ film Echo Valley, where the Euphoria star plays daughter to as the two battle to keep a dark secret hidden. It was a project she said gave her 'so many reasons' to say yes. 'The character, Claire, is such a multi-layered, troubled young woman,' she explained. 'And being able to explore a character that has so many dimensional relationships with their mother, it's fun.' And working opposite such a powerhouse like Julianne, which Sydney described as 'such a dream,' was an added perk. 'She is beyond kind,' the Euphoria actress gushed. 'Like one of the kindest human beings I've ever met.' Echo Valley premieres on Apple TV+ June 13.

Canadian couple tied knot during New Jersey's Pokémon GO Fest
Something borrowed, something … Pikachu? A Canadian couple who hooked up while playing the widely-popular smartphone game Pokémon GO, tied the knot in New Jersey on Friday — in front of thousands of other players, who've flown in from around the globe for this weekend's Pokémon GO Fest. Sandra Maroszek and Les Dorgo from Windsor, Canada, met as they were trying to catch virtual versions of the mysterious, magical beings that grace collectible Pokémon cards and populate the beloved Japanese video games, which also inspired an animated series. 3 Sandra Maroszek and Les Dorgo found each other — and ultimately love — playing the popular 2016 game. AP Content Services for Niantic Members of their families also flew in from Poland and Hungary for the ceremony. The happy couple has been traveling the world on their vacations — in search of elusive Pokémon. They travelled to France to catch a Klefki, and ventured into Florida to get a Maractus. They'll spend the first couple of days of their honeymoon on the hunt for even more. More than 100,000 players have invaded Jersey City this year in hopes of catching the imaginary creatures. 3 The happy couple got engaged during the 2024 fest. AP Content Services for Niantic Pokémon GO Fest was held at Randall's Island last year, and saw players scouring the Big Apple for Pokémon GO. Maroszek and Dorgo actually got engaged at last year's festival, and decided to come full circle by exchanging vows at this year's event in Liberty State Park. 'Pokémon GO has quietly become a surprising engine for real-world connection — combating loneliness, encouraging physical activity, and sparking friendships (and yes, relationships) rooted in shared adventure,' claimed the festival's organizers in a statement. 3 The couple shot their wedding photos at Liberty State Park. AP Content Services for Niantic 'But this couple's journey from strangers to walking down the aisle during GO Fest offers a rare and joyful lens into how connection is evolving outside the swipe-right culture.' Festival goers will be able to catch characters during the weekend, and explore habitats from the game, recreated inside the park.
