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

'OceanGate Disaster' Netflix Trailer Sparks Criticism
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Netflix's Titan: The OceanGate Disaster trailer has sparked criticism online. Newsweek reached out to a Netflix representative for Titan: The OceanGate Disaster via email for comment on Friday. The Context In June 2023, Titan—a submersible operated by OceanGate Expeditions—imploded while on an expedition to view the wreck of the Titanic, which is located in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, at a depth of 12,500 feet. About 1,500 people died when the Titanic sank in 1912 after hitting an iceberg on its maiden journey from England to New York. On board the Titan were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, French Titanic expert and deep sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, British businessman Hamish Harding, 58, Pakistani-British businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his 19-year-old son Suleman. All five were killed, likely instantly from the implosion. Titan's wreckage was found four days after contact was lost, the U.S. Coast Guard said.

Recording captured the chilling sound of the Titan submersible's final moment
The federal government released a chilling audio recording of the doomed Titan submersible as it imploded in the North Atlantic Ocean, killing five people nearly two years ago, officials said. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recording was made by a passive acoustic recorder about 900 miles from where the OceanGate vessel met its end. NOAA'S Ocean Noise Reference Station Network is made up of 13 passive acoustic monitoring sites within the Northeastern continental United States. A steady static was suddenly interrupted by a boom that the Coast Guard said it believes is the Titan buckling under the water's pressure, instantly killing all aboard. The audio clip 'records the suspected acoustic signature of the Titan submersible implosion' on June 18, 2023, the Coast Guard said. OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, 61, who was piloting the Titan; deep sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, who was experienced in visiting the Titanic wreck site; British tycoon Hamish Harding, 58; and Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son, Suleman, 19, were killed on the doomed journey to view the Titanic wreck site in the North Atlantic Ocean off Canada. The voyage was nearly two hours old when the vessel lost contact with its support ship, setting off a frantic search. Public fascination about the submersible was sparked by reports of 'banging noises' that had been detected, sparking talk over how long passengers could sustain themselves in a cramped tube running out of oxygen.

Audio from Titan submersible implosion released by NOAA
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration on Wednesday released an audio recording of what it suspects is the moment the Titan submersible imploded on in June 2023. NOAA says the sound comes from a moored passive acoustic recorder approximately 900 miles from the site of the implosion, which killed all five people on board the submersible that was making its way to the wreckage site of the Titanic. In the 23-second recording, the sound of static can be heard, followed by a booming noise — then more static. Owned by OceanGate, the Titan lost contact with its support vessel an hour and 45 minutes into the dive at 12,000 feet below the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. Officials searched for the submersible for four days, until evidence of an implosion was found on the ocean floor. OceanGate co-founder Stockton Rush was among the five who died. Other victims included Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman Dawood. After the incident, Washington state-based OceanGate suspended its operations. A Wired investigation revealed Rush overstated the project's timeline and lied about issues with the vessel's hull. NewsNation is owned by Nexstar Media Group, which also owns The Hill.
