The last words heard from the Titan sub crew before the heartbreaking implosion have been revealed in the court hearing.
In June last year, five people sadly died after they went on a deepwater expedition on the OceanGate submersible to see the Titanic shipwreck.
CEO of OceanGate Stockton Rush, along with British explorer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, and veteran French diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet were among those who sadly lost their lives.
After topside lost connection with the sub, a massive search and rescue expedition went underway and the world waited to see those missing, rescued.
Sadly, the US Coast Guard confirmed that the Titan had been completely destroyed after a ‘catastrophic implosion’.
A hearing into the loss of life is currently being held in Charlestown, South Carolina.
During the hearing, the crew’s last words were shared. The Titan crew were communicating with support staff via ‘text messages’. The ‘Polar Prince’ sent the sub messages asking if they could still see the ship on their onboard screen, to which the Titan’s response and last message read ‘all good’.
The Coast Guard said that the aim of the hearing is to ‘uncover the facts surrounding the incident and develop recommendations to prevent similar tragedies in the future’.
