Tr.gic final words uttered by crew onboard

As the two-year anniversary of the Titan sub disaster approaches, new details have emerged about the final moments before the submersible imploded, killing all five passengers. The Titan, operated by OceanGate Expeditions, lost contact on 18 June 2023 during a dive to the Titanic wreck site. The last known message from the sub, “all good here,” suggests the crew was unaware of any imminent danger. Communication between the sub and its support vessel, the Polar Prince, became increasingly erratic before contact was lost. Debris was later found near the Titanic site, and the US Coast Guard confirmed a “catastrophic implosion.”

New BBC footage from the upcoming documentary Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster reveals the moment OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush’s wife, Wendy Rush, heard the sound of the sub’s implosion while onboard the support ship. At around 3,300m depth, a loud bang was captured—later confirmed as the implosion. A delayed text from the sub stating it had dropped weights initially led the crew to believe the mission was proceeding normally. The footage is part of the US Coast Guard’s investigation, which continues to examine the tragedy that claimed the lives of all five people on board.
