Titan, which tragically imploded during a mission to explore the Titanic wreck site, has raised pressing questions about regulatory oversight and industry standards. This incident not only highlights the inherent risks associated with deep-sea tourism but also underscores the urgent need for comprehensive safety protocols in underwater exploration ventures. The image serves as a somber reminder of the potential dangers faced by adventurers and researchers alike.

The Titan sub was attempting to dive 2.4 miles to reach the Titanic shipwreck which lies 380 miles from St John’s in Newfoundland, Canada, when it lost contact on June 18 2023. After four days, debris of the submersible was found close to the wreck.
The implosion claimed the lives of British explorer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, OceanGate’s CEO Stockton Rush and French deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet.

An international search and rescue mission unfolded in the following days, in remote waters several hundred miles southeast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The hearing will include “pre-accident historical events, regulatory compliance, crew member duties and qualifications, mechanical and structural systems, emergency response and the submersible industry,” the Coast Guard has previously said.
While the hearing’s main aim is to “uncover the facts surrounding the incident,” board chair Jason Neubauer acknowledged Monday that the group is also tasked with identifying “misconduct or negligence by credential mariners.”
“And if there’s any detection of a criminal act, we would make a recommendation to the Department of Justice,” he said.
