New Titan footage shows wreckage of viewport on ocean floor

A U.S. Coast Guard hearing into the catastrophic implosion of a tourist sub en route to the Titanic wreck has released underwater footage of the stricken experimental vessel in which five people died.

The deep-sea vessel less than two hours into its descent towards the wreck of the Titanic when it imploded i June 2023.

Earlier this week, a hearing revealed that one of the final messages from the five-person crew before they lost contact with the Titan’s mother ship for good was “all good here”.

Thursday 19 September A mission specialist for the company that owned the Titan submersible has spoken about the last time she saw its doomed passengers as they left to explore the wreck of the Titanic.

“I saw five people smiling on the way to their journey,” Renata Rojas told a US Coast Guard inquiry on Thursday. “They were just happy to go, that’s the memory I have.”

Ms Rojas, on a surface support vessel, said everything was “working very smoothly” before the sub began its descent.

But she told the probe that she remembered losing communications, asking colleagues: “We haven’t heard from them, where are they?”
