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?”

    The sound of rain means many things. The sound of the Titan imploding means one thing.

      No comment on the further context from the rest of the thread, I would simply point out that the ocean is a rich and vibrant place with abundant life that wastes nothing, even more so at the sea floor. Also, the pressure wave from the implosion and subsequent contamination and any other fallout related to the rapid unscheduled disassembly probably harmed more than those just inside the vessel. The sound means more than one thing.
