Overview

• The footage, released by the US Coast Guard, shows Wendy Rush, wife of OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, reacting to a metallic thud during the Titan's descent to the Titanic wreck site.
• Investigators confirm the sound was the implosion of the Titan submersible, which occurred 90 minutes into its dive, killing all five passengers instantly.
• A delayed text message from the sub, received seconds after the sound, misled the support team into believing the dive was proceeding normally.
• The Titan's carbon fiber hull had shown signs of delamination as early as 2022, a key factor in the catastrophic failure, according to experts and whistleblower testimony.
• Upcoming documentaries on Netflix and the BBC will feature new footage and testimonies, exploring the technical failures and decision-making that led to the tragedy.
