What Investigators Found Inside Titan Submersible Wreckage After Explosion
It has been nearly two years since OceanGate Expeditions' Titan tourist submersible imploded, and new details about the tragedy continue to emerge. On June 18, 2023, a submersible trekking toward the bottom of the ocean to view the wreckage of the Titanic imploded approximately 90 minutes into the trip. All five people onboard—including OceanGate's CEO Stockton Rush, Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British businessman/adventurer Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman/philanthropist Shahzada Dawood, and Dawood's 19-year-old son Suleman—died in the accident. Now, as E! News shared on Thursday, we're getting even more information about the tragedy via a new Discovery documentary, Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster, which premiered earlier this week. One of the many fascinating details revealed include what items actually survived the implosion intact—including Rush's clothing. 'It was actually caked inside of sand,' U.S. Coast Guard investigator Lt. Kelly Steele says in the documentary. 'It was the piece of his sleeve that had survived. No, not the whole suit. And inside of the sleeve of it was [an] ink pen, business cards and stickers for the Titanic.' Sadly, those were the only items investigators found. 'There was nothing else but that,' said Kelly, though he seemed to marvel at the fact that 'Each one of those pieces, even the pen, was still intact. It hadn't been broken. All of this debris, all of these things shattered, but his pen was still intact.' Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster, directed by Pamela Gordon, is a recounting of the doomed journey, its aftermath, and the details investigators and others are still learning. The 90-minute documentary is streaming now on Discovery+ and HBO Max. What Investigators Found Inside Titan Submersible Wreckage After Explosion first appeared on Men's Journal on May 30, 2025

Originally appeared on E! Online New details about from the Titan submersible tragedy continue to emerge. Nearly two years after the implosion of OceanGate Expeditions' small tourist sub killed all five passengers, investigators shared what was found in the wreckage, including personal items belonging to the company's CEO Stockton Rush. "Mr. Rush's clothing—it was actually caked inside of sand,' U.S. Coast Guard investigator Lt. Kelly Steele said in the new Discovery documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster, which premiered May 28. "It was the piece of his sleeve that had survived. No, not the whole suit. And inside of the sleeve of it was ink pen, business cards and stickers for the Titanic." Steele continued, "And there was nothing else but that. But each one of those pieces, even the pen, was still intact. It hadn't been broken. All of this debris, all of these things shattered, but his pen was still intact." The documentary detailing the doomed voyage to visit the Titanic wreckage also features footage of what the Coast Guard believes is the moment the Titan sub imploded. More from E!

Addressing employee Gary Foss, she asked, "What was that bang?' The Coast Guard, which released the OceanGate-recorded video just ahead of the film's debut, noted in a Department of Defense news release that the sound the two heard from the monitoring station "later correlated with the loss of communications and tracking" and that it "is believed to be the sound of the Titan's implosion reaching the surface of the ocean." In addition to the CEO, 61, billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, 58, French oceanographer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood also died in the tragedy, which occurred more than two miles beneath the surface off the coast of Newfoundland.
