The U.S. Coast Guard’s investigation into the fatal Titan submersible implosion has unveiled new information on the events leading up to the tragedy, painting a troubling picture of ignored warnings, operational oversights, and risky decision-making.
All five passengers aboard the submersible died after the vehicle imploded during a voyage to the Titanic wreck site last year.
The missing submersible is operated from the inside by a single button, is about the size of a minivan and costs $250,000 for a ride.
The race to find the submersible that went missing on an expedition to the Titanic wreckage intensifies as oxygen time is expected to run out in less than 10 hours.
