She is seen alongside OceanGate team member Gary Foss on the support ship, Polar Prince.<\/p>\n<p>About 90 minutes after the dive began, a faint \u201cbang\u201d is heard in the video. Mrs. Rush is seen reacting to the sound and asking, \u201cWhat was that bang?\u201d That noise was later confirmed to be the sound of the Titan\u2019s hull collapsing under intense deep-sea pressure, at a depth of roughly 3,300 meters.<\/p>\n<p>Shortly after the bang, a delayed message was received from the submersible. It mentioned the release of two ballast weights, which, for a brief time, gave the surface team hope that the dive was progressing normally.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/63qOX-AG1Nk?si=Ls89Y6vMtTe7rNuP\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>However, investigators later confirmed that the message had been sent just moments before the sub imploded and was delayed due to transmission lags.<\/p>\n<p>The five people who died in the Titan submersible were French diving specialist Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British billionaire and adventurer Hamish Harding, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Pakistani-British businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son Suleman.<\/p>\n<p>The disaster led to a large international search operation. Debris from the sub was eventually located near the Titanic wreck on the seafloor.<\/p>\n<p>Investigators later revealed that there had been repeated warnings about the Titan\u2019s design, particularly its carbon fiber hull. Experts had raised concerns about the material\u2019s vulnerability to pressure-related fatigue during deep-sea dives.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/zthE22b9JHk?si=ToX6mZ_0ZtMKhlCN\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Despite the warnings, OceanGate continued to offer the Titanic expeditions, charging passengers $250,000 per seat.<\/p>\n<p>The Coast Guard\u2019s full investigation, which took two years and included this newly released footage, is featured in the BBC documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster.<\/p>\n<p>A Netflix documentary on the tragedy is also expected to be released soon, offering further insight into one of the most widely discussed maritime disasters in recent years.<\/p>\n<p><em>References: CNN, BBC<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><br \/>\n    MI News Network<br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n<BR><\/BR><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.marineinsight.com\/shipping-news\/us-coast-guard-releases-video-of-titan-subs-final-moments-before-implosion\/?utm_source=rss&#038;utm_medium=rss&#038;utm_campaign=us-coast-guard-releases-video-of-titan-subs-final-moments-before-implosion\">Go to marine insight<\/a><br \/>\n \t<BR><br \/>\n <BR><\/BR><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Coast Guard Releases Video Of Titan Sub\u2019s Final Moments Before Implosion Image Credits: Wikipedia A newly released video from the U.S. Coast Guard reveals the final moments before OceanGate\u2019s Titan submersible imploded during its deep-sea dive to the Titanic wreck site on June 18, 2023.
