Netflix's 'Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster' footage leaves viewers horrified, netizens call it' death trap'
A video footage shared by
Netflix
from inside the Titan submersible has left viewers shocked and horrified and has revealed exactly how dangerous the sub which claimed the lives of five people really was. June 18 will mark two years since the Titan submersible tragedy, which claimed the lives of all five people aboard during a deep-sea expedition. The Titan, an experimental vessel built for underwater tourism, was intended to take passengers close to the Titanic wreck for $250,000 each.
Among the victims were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, a university student, as well as Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. The catastrophic implosion that caused their deaths captured the world's attention and sparked widespread mourning and debate.

Titan: The Oceangate Submersible Disaster
The new documentary on Netflix titled 'Titan: The
Oceangate Submersible
Disaster' examines what ultimately led to the 2018 disaster in which Oceangate's CEO, Stockton Rush, also died when attempting to visit the wreck of the RMS Titanic.
The documentary shows a number of shocking moments including exclusive footage showing how Rush had fired one of his senior divers, David Lochridge, for raising health and safety concerns about the submersible, reports Ladbible.
Live Events
One detail in the documentary series has surprised viewers: a distinct 'popping sound' heard at various moments during footage from inside the Titan submersible.
This sound is especially noticeable in a clip showing Stockton Rush piloting the sub alone during an underwater test.

The late CEO reacts to the unexpected noises, referring to the pops as 'attention-getting' and appearing visibly unsettled by them.
But later in the documentary, however, Rush informs passengers of the vessel to simply 'ignore' any pops, insisting the sub was safe. Fans took to Reddit to discuss the documentary, with many expressing their utter shock at hearing the noises from inside the sub.
One commented saying: 'The Netflix [Titan Sub] doc is the best yet. Those cracks & pops. My gosh,' while another said: 'My gosh. I've been following the Titan story since the sub went missing." Viewers called the Titan Sub a 'death trap' after watching new footage
They continued: 'Those cracking sounds though. How could anyone think that death trap was safe? The data showing how bad it got with each dive and still he went ahead.

The cracking and pops are explained in the documentary to be due to the decision made by Stockton to outfit the submersible with a carbon fibre hull.
Titan's OceanGate's doomed expedition
In June 2023, a tourist expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic went missing off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada. Over the following four days, the world came to know about Titan, the diminutive submersible its charismatic inventor, Stockton Rush, had touted as the key to unlocking
deep-sea exploration
for the masses. When pieces of the vessel were found at the bottom of the North Atlantic Ocean, experts determined Titan had imploded during its descent, likely killing all five of its passengers instantly.
The documentary film Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster focuses on the years leading up to the incident that dominated headlines, examining Rush's quest to become the next world-renowned change-maker, and culminating in the doomed underwater endeavor. The documentary film premiered on June 11 on Netflix.

‘Nowadays, purity is lacking in our work. It's all about creating one franchise after another': Arjun Rampal
No one in today's film world can slip into a complex, grey character with as much ease and style as Arjun Rampal. There's some level of poetry in the way he carries sadness, as if it's a part of him. There's some degree of panache in the way he asserts himself on screen. We've seen him live this in films like Rock On, Om Shanti Om, Don, and D-Day. And then there's his work on the small screen, where something like Bandish Bandits Season 2 showed another shade of his talent. Now, Rampal is back with Raina Naidu Season 2 on Netflix, standing tall opposite Rana Daggubati and Daggubati Venkatesh. In an exclusive chat with SCREEN, he shares how he steps into these layered roles again and again, what it's like to live inside Raina Naidu's world, and what audiences can expect from his next film Dhurandhar. Edited excerpts for brevity and clarity Q: Your portrayal of morally grey or intense characters has really struck a chord with my generation. There's this undeniable charm in how you bring complexity to the 'baddies'. Say whether it's in Om Shanti Om, or more recently Raina Naidu. I have this theory that if we ever remade John Wick in India, you'd be perfect to headline it — there's an effortless, simmering intensity you bring that feels tailor-made for roles like that. So I want to start by asking: How do you approach these layered, often dark characters? Is there a particular process you follow to find that spark within them? Arjun: Haha! I agree with your theory. When I play any character, it would be unfair for me to get into it if I didn't know where this guy's belief system lay. For example, when I'm playing a bad guy, that's not me, that's that character. When you're playing a good guy, that guy is not him either. That's just a character. How many of those kinds of characters truly exist in the world? If you're so good, you'd be a saint, and I haven't seen many around. And if you're so bad, you'd be the devil, and I don't see many of those kinds of people either. It happens because of circumstances, choices, this, that, the other. In these characters, I search for the backstory. Where have they come from? What must have made them this way? You don't necessarily need to see that in the film, but for me to fall back upon, to know how to play them, it has to come from that. What must have transpired between them? And they have to have a certain element of humanness. That human quality, I think, is what makes it attractive. Q: You were one of the early mainstream actors to explore OTT back in 2018, long before it became a norm. Now in 2025, you're doing Raina Naidu Season 2. However, there's a growing concern that OTT content is becoming formulaic, even saturated, especially with how storytelling is handled at the moment. Do you agree with this sentiment? How do you personally view the evolution of OTT as an actor and viewer? Arjun: Yeah, that's true. But I mean, we've also had some incredible content that's dropped on OTT. You know what I mean? There's some really, really good work happening. Yes, there was a golden period of writing, say, about 7–8 years ago, when it was really, really great. But to maintain that level of consistency is impossible. Because suddenly there's a generational change. New writers are coming in, new people, new actors, and the world itself has changed so much in 8 years. So to put that kind of process and intention back on the table, it'll take time. But that doesn't mean we're doing bad work. I think it's easy to say, 'This is it, we've hit saturation, nobody wants to go to the movies anymore,' that's just not true. People will always want to go to the movies. What we need is to be more conscious about the kind of work we do, to focus more on the art, not just the product. For example, when you watch a show like Adolescence, it's mind-boggling. It's one of the best things I've seen in many, many years, and that came out this year. So how can you say there's no talent, or that people aren't thinking or investing in great content? Yes, OTT today is catering to many different kinds of audiences, and trying to maintain a certain quality while doing that. I think as long as we don't drop the quality, and we encourage more people to think from an artistic point of view, you'll see the upsurge again. But if we end up only trying to to turn non-franchisable content into franchises, then you're going to land yourself in trouble. That's why, when I did a season 2 with Rana Naidu, or when I did a cameo in Bandish Bandits, it was because I genuinely enjoyed what they had done with season 1. When I read the writing for Imroz's character, I felt confident they were going to take it to another level. It was a guest appearance, just two days of work, and I went and did it. I didn't expect this kind of love and adulation for it. But it came from a pure place. And I think the more pure we are in our intent — the kind of work we choose to do, the more that shows. That's what's lacking sometimes. We're always focused on making something huge, putting it out there, and creating franchise after franchise. Also Read | Arjun Rampal says Shah Rukh Khan has 'seen a lot in life', highlights SRK's X-factor: 'He has a tremendous amount of depth' Q: What can you tell us about your character in Raina Naidu Season 2? Arjun: With Rana Naidu season 2, what I appreciated is how the team really worked hard, first, taking the risk of making season 1, and then taking an even bigger risk with season 2. Season 1 worked, now the pressure is even greater. But they've stayed true to what they created in season 1 and enhanced it in season 2 with a completely different story and some really interesting new characters. It's a solid watch with great writing, that same unpredictability, a flawed protagonist, and a terrifying antagonist who's extremely unpredictable. And if you like bad guys, I think you'll really like Rauf. And personally, I felt I've never played a character like this before, so it was incredibly refreshing to do it. Shared post on Time Q: It's a show that already had a huge following. Was it intimidating stepping into an already successful franchise, and did that add any pressure? Arjun: Yeah, of course. I mean, there's a responsibility, right? When they come to you and offer you something, there is definitely pressure. Because you know they've already done a whole season 1 — so you're like this adopted child coming into the family in Season 2. But they were amazing. All of them. It was honestly so much fun working with Rana, with Venky, with everyone. The whole cast and crew were incredible. Most of my scenes were with Rana and Venky, but yeah, it was just a phenomenal team. There's Karan Anshuman, there's Suparn, there's Abhay. Three people with very different mindsets making the same show. So one day you have one director, the next day another. And it's so interesting, because even though they bring different insights, we're all on the same page. Q: Your film with Honey Trehan, Punjab 95, has been stuck in limbo due to censor issues. It's a story that a lot of people are eager to see. What's your take on the delay, and if it does finally get a release, what kind of film should we expect? Arjun: It's a beautiful movie, such a fantastic film. But, you know, it is what it is. It's not like the censor feels it's a bad film, or that there's something wrong in it. I think they have their own reasons — reasons known best to them. So you should ask them, what is the reason this film isn't really coming out? Because I'd genuinely love to know. It's a true story. We put our hearts and souls into it. I really love it. It's a beautiful, really beautiful story. There's not even a very strong message in it that could be seen as problematic. So I don't know why this is happening. I'm still not clear about it. But I'm sure they'll find a way to figure it out. Sometimes, I think, people worry that a film might evoke an emotional reaction, something that could go south after watching it. And I don't think the filmmakers ever intended anything like that when they made this film. But if someone feels that way, if they think there could be security issues or concerns of that sort, then I suppose they're justified in thinking like that. Still, I do believe the film will find its way sometime soon. I hope so Q: Before we wrap up, I have to ask about Dhurandhar. Just the cast, you, Ranveer Singh, and Akshaye Khanna, Sanjay Dutt, R Madhavan, is reason enough to be excited. It looks like a gritty thriller, something in the zone of D-Day maybe? What can you tell us about the film and your experience shooting it? Arjun: Well, I think you all should just be really happy that this film is being made, we all are. Aditya Dada is a genius, truly. I've worked with him, and he never ceases to surprise me, every single time. The whole team is phenomenal. Ranveer is in top-top form. Sanju is in top-top form. Akshay is in top-top form. Madhavan is in top-top form. And I'm trying to be in top-top form myself! So yeah, it's going to be a ride — a ride that everyone should get ready to take.

Squid Game Final Season Poster Sets Stage For Gi-hun Vs The Front Man
Last Updated: The image shows Seong Gi-hun or player #456, played by Lee Jung-jae, on one side and The Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun, on the other. The wait is almost over. The third season of Korean drama Squid Game is just days away from its release on Netflix. This season will mark the conclusion of the series that will pick up from the intense cliffhanger that ended Season 2. Now, Netflix has released a brand-new poster for Squid Game 3, which is powerful and intense. It gives a hint about what the final season has in store. The image shows two key characters. On one side is Seong Gi-hun or player 456, played by Lee Jung-jae. On the other side is The Front Man, played by Lee Byung-hun. Both faces are serious which shows the tension between the two. In the background, we see the giant pig-shaped money tank which is filled with stacks of cash. This same tank tempted many into playing the deadly game. There are also rows of guards in pink uniforms and their faces are covered with masks. The caption shared along with the poster reads, 'Masks off, for this face-off." Take a look here: View this post on Instagram A post shared by Netflix India (@netflix_in) Season 3 picks up after the shocking ending of Season 2. Gi-hun is on a mission as he wants to destroy the game once and for all. The Front Man had killed his best friend, Jung-bae (played by Lee Seo-hwan) and now Gi-hun wants to end the madness. A few days ago, Netflix also released the trailer for the new season. The trailer shows Gi-hun in a state of panic and rage. He has just learned the truth about the Front Man's identity. Fans already know that the Front Man is In-ho. In Season 2, he became player 001 and got close to Gi-hun. That betrayal now fuels Gi-hun's anger. In one of the trailer's key scenes, Gi-hun yells at the guards, 'Why didn't you kill me? Why did you keep me alive? Why did you let me live?" He is held down by the guards while In-ho silently watches. The show is created by Hwang Dong-hyuk. Squid Game first came out in September 2021. It became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix. Season 1 is still the most-viewed TV season on the platform. Season 2, which was released in December 2024, is the third-most-watched. Along with Lee Jung-jae and Lee Byung-hun, the final season includes Yim Si-wan, Kang Ha-neul, Wi Ha-jun, Park Gyu-young, Park Sung-hoon, Yang Dong-geun, Kang Ae-sim, Jo Yuri, Lee David and Roh Jae-won. Squid Game Season 3 premieres on Netflix on June 27. First Published: June 13, 2025, 16:55 IST

Arnold Schwarzenegger is open to working with son Patrick and son-in-law Chris Pratt, but only on THIS condition
Hollywood icon Arnold Schwarzenegger isn't ruling out a big-screen collaboration with his family just yet. While attending the Season 2 premiere of his Netflix series FUBAR, the action icon said he'd be open to starring in a film with his son Patrick Schwarzenegger and son-in-law Chris Pratt—provided the right script comes along. 'It's one of those things that if there's a great script, then of course, we would do it,' Arnold told E! News during the red carpet event which took place in the US on Thursday evening. 'But you can't just make up this stuff. You can't just say, 'OK, let's just put the three together in a movie and not have a great script',' he added. The 77-year-old actor also had a message for filmmakers who might be dreaming up the possibility. 'You don't have to talk about it, just do it,' he said during the interview. A post shared by Variety (@variety) Arnold, who shares four children with ex-wife Maria Shriver—Patrick, Christina, Christopher, and Katherine (who married Chris Pratt in 2019)—also has a son, Joseph Baena, from a previous relationship. The idea of a Schwarzenegger-Pratt team-up certainly has potential, but for the Terminator star, story remains king. At the same event, the actor opened up about what fans can expect from FUBAR's second season, which released on Netflix on Thursday. 'The second season is a lot, a lot of great, great action. And also really funny moments,' he said. Filming wasn't always easy, though, as Arnold recalled. 'The actual sequences are very, very tough to do, especially when you do night shoots and all that. But it's a lot of fun,' he said. Asked whether he'd consider a role on The White Lotus, following Patrick's recent appearance, Arnold left the door open: 'Whenever I see something good, I am interested in it. So we will see,' he said.
