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.
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.
