Coast Guard Releases Ominous Audio From Titan Submersible Implosion
Newly released audio appearing to be from the 2023 Titan submersible implosion that killed five people has emerged.
The U.S. Coast Guard's Marine Board of Investigation released the harrowing audio courtesy of NOAA/NPS Ocean Noise Reference Station Network on Feb. 7 as the investigation into the deadly implosion continues. The 23-second clip, recorded from approximately 900 miles away, featured white noise interrupted by an ominous rumble.
The Titan submersible was on a deep sea journey to view the sunken Titanic ship on June 18, 2023, when it lost communication nearly two hours in. There was an extensive search and a countdown to find the missing submersible, but ultimately the Coast Guard found presumed human remains and debris.
In previous audio from the time, listeners could hear repeated, rhythmic banging. The banging was suspected to be a cry for help from the Titan occupants. However, a U.S. Navy analysis later concluded that the banging was likely from ocean noises or other search ships, and didn't indicate that the occupants were still alive.
Despite the search — and the banging — experts said that the five occupants likely died instantly in the implosion.
The tragic incident occurred after several red flags indicating major vehicle safety issues were glossed over, costing the lives of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood.
A ticket on the foredoomed submersible reportedly cost up to $250,000.
OceanGate's website says that it has suspended all of its operations.

Woman Whose Husband and Son Died in 'Titan' Sub Implosion Speaks Out: ‘I Will Never Be the Same'
Christine Dawood lost her husband, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and her son, Suleman, 19, in the Titan submersible implosion Now, she's speaking out in a new documentary, Implosion: The Titan Sub Disaster Later this year, the U.S. Coast Guard is expected to release its final report detailing the results of the investigationOn June 18, 2023, the Titan submersible imploded during a dive to visit the Titanic wreckage, killing all five passengers inside. Christine Dawood lost her husband, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and her son, Suleman, 19, in an instant. Christine is now speaking out in a new documentary, Implosion: The Titan Sub Disaster, as the second anniversary of the tragedy approaches. Later this year, the U.S. Coast Guard is expected to release its final report detailing the results of the investigation. But Dawood said nothing can return her loved ones. 'They're never going to come back. Their voices are still in the house, their memories are in the house,' Dawood said in the documentary, which was released on May 28. 'No matter what the investigation is, the rooms are still empty.' In addition to the Dawoods, the disaster also claimed the lives of Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, and French diver and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. In late June 2023, investigators recovered Titan wreckage debris from the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. Dawood told the BBC she was initially supposed to go on the excursion with her husband, but allowed her son to go in her place, 'because he really wanted to go.' She and her daughter Alina, then 17, were on a support vessel when it lost the ability to communicate with the Titan, per the BBC. Reflecting on the fatal excursion, she's struck by the attitude of those responsible for executing the trip. 'This arrogance of the people in charge – when they think they're above everything, that really gets to me,' Dawood said. 'Like why is ego and arrogance more important than safety? The irony is not lost on me that the Titanic sunk for exactly the same reason. History repeats itself.'

In the aftermath, Dawood said she's been reshaped by the loss of her husband and son. 'I think I will never be the same. I don't think that anybody who goes through loss and such a trauma can ever be the same,' she said. Dawood added that one particular message from officials comforted her in the wake of the tragedy. 'One of the most important things that came out for me was when the Coast Guard also assured us as a family that we couldn't have known. For me that was – yeah, I guess the most important reassurance they could have given me,' she said. Now, she's hoping to move on knowing that no results from the investigation will change her new reality. Dawood suggested that the person responsible for the deadly tragedy can no longer be held accountable, seemingly alluding to CEO Stockton Rush without naming him. 'We're not looking for blaming,' Dawood said. 'We all know who the culprit is. [But] it's not changing anything, does it? The culprit died with them, right? So who am I to blame?'

Pair of rare royal pistols to be sold at auction
A pair of rare pistols from the private collection of an 18th Century prince are to be sold at auction later. The guns were owned by Prince Augustus Frederick, the first Duke of Sussex, the sixth son of King George III. They were made in the 1790s by the esteemed Spanish gunsmith Francisco Targarona and are believed to have been given to the prince as a diplomatic gift. The pair are estimated to fetch between £20,000 and £30,000 at a special sale of medals and coins, arms and armour at Woolley & Wallis, in Salisbury. The duke was well liked and noted for championing societal freedom and reform. He was also known for his large weapons collection, which was put up for auction on his death in 1843, including the pistols. The guns are Spanish 22 bore convertible 'Madrid' lock pistols, which date from about 1795. They are highly decorative, with geometric and floral accents, and can be fitted together to create a short, single gun. They are housed in a fitted mahogany case with velvet lining. On the outside, the case has an oval silver plate on its lid engraved "Purchased at the sale of His Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, 1845". Ned Cowell, head of arms and armour at Woolley & Wallis, said the selling the guns was a privilege. "We are honoured to be offering such an outstanding pair of pistols by such a distinguished gunmaker and with such a historic background," he added. Other items in the sale include a selection of military medals, rare coins, swords, cannons and a coronation robe worn in 1937 and in 1953. Follow BBC Wiltshire on Facebook, X and Instagram.
