On June 18, 2023, a catastrophic event unfolded in the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean when the Titan sub, operated by USbased company OceanGate, imploded during a dive into the Titanic wreck. Unfortunately, all five individuals on board lost their lives. The disaster not only marked a dark day for the world of underwater exploration, but it also raised serious questions about the safety policies of the company behind the expedition.
In June, the world was shocked when the Ocean Gate Titanic submarine carrying five billionaires vanished into the depths of the ocean. The submarine was on a mission to explore the wreck of the Titanic, but after nearly two hours, it disappeared without a trace.
A frantic search is currently underway in the North Atlantic for a missing submersible that was scheduled to take passengers on a unique visit to the Titanic wreckage. Concerns for the safety of the five people on board are increasing as time passes, given that the vessel only has a limited oxygen supply of 96 hours. Each passenger paid a hefty sum of $250,000 for the opportunity to explore the underwater remains of the illfated Titanic.
