Hearings by the U.S. Coast Guard's Board of Investigations commenced Monday in South Carolina, as officials seeks answers about the deaths of five people killed in an undersea implosion of the Titan experimental submersible in June 2023. Investigative hearings will last two weeks, which have so far revealed new images of debris of the Titan submersible on the ocean floor, as well as the crew's final communication: "all good here."
On Tuesday, David Lochridge, a former employee at OceanGate, the private ocean exploration company that operated the Titan, testified to the U.S. Coast Guard panel that Stockton Rush, OceanGate's chief executive and founder, previously crashed another submersible into a shipwreck before angrily throwing the controls, as reported by the New York Times.
