The implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible, killing all five onboard, is attributed to a series of safety failures and negligence. A new BBC documentary reveals evidence of structural damage to the carbon fiber hull long before the fatal dive. CEO Stockton Rush, who prioritized cost and speed over safety regulations, is largely blamed for ignoring warnings and critical issues. The documentary features testimony from crew members and family members, highlighting a pattern of disregard for safety protocols. A US Coast Guard investigation is underway, potentially leading to criminal charges.
