Titan submersible footage captures moment of implosion | BBC News

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 BBC has had unprecedented access to the US Coast Guard's (USCG) investigation for a documentary, Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster.

The footage was recently obtained by the USCG and shows Wendy Rush, the wife of Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush, hearing the sound of the implosion while watching on from the sub's support ship and asking: "What was that bang?"

Stockton Rush was on board the Titan sub, along with British explorer Hamish Harding, veteran French diver Paul Henri Nargeolet, the British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleman.
