The moment that Oceangate’s Titan submersible was lost has been revealed in footage recorded on the sub’s support ship.
Titan imploded about 90 minutes into a descent to see the wreck of the Titanic in June 2023, killing all five people on board.
The footage was recently obtained by the USCG and shows Wendy Rush, the wife of Mr Rush, hearing the sound of the implosion while watching on from the sub’s support ship and asking: “What was that bang?”
Asking “what was that bang?” instead of saying “oh shit” was extremely professional of her.
She probably had no idea, doesn’t look like she has any background in this type of work. If you watch the video, you can tell the two guys with her instantly know something has gone wrong.
That guy walking out didn’t want to be the one to tell her.
Ah. I’m still at work and haven’t watched the video yet.
If you have someone you love on there, you are going to think of everything possible before you admit they are gone and no one can help them.
