Overview
- The documentary “Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster” reveals investigators recovered an intact pen, business cards and Titanic-themed stickers from a fragment of Stockton Rush’s sleeve.
- Forensic analysis showed the sub’s carbon fiber hull was completely destroyed under pressure while its titanium endcap remained intact, preserving the artifacts.
- Remotely operated vehicle footage documented the submersible’s tail cone embedded more than 12,000 feet deep on the Atlantic seabed.
- Records from the final dive indicate the Titan confirmed weight drops and clear visuals of the Polar Prince support ship moments before the implosion.
- The U.S. Coast Guard and NTSB continue to investigate the June 2023 tragedy, with a final report expected later this year.
