Coast Guard Hearing Reveals Critical Failures in OceanGate's Titan Submersible Tragedy

Testimonies highlight safety oversights, financial struggles, and CEO's risk-taking behavior leading to the catastrophic implosion.

The Titan submersible imploded during a deep-sea dive to the Titanic wreck in June 2023, killing all five on board.
Former OceanGate employees testified that CEO Stockton Rush prioritized profits and cut costs over safety, leading to the disaster.
The Titan was never inspected by an industry organization, and its carbon fiber hull was deemed unsuitable for deep-sea pressures.
Safety concerns raised by employees and experts were often ignored, with the company facing significant financial pressures.
The Coast Guard's final report may recommend new safety regulations and could lead to criminal charges.
