At the moment when the moment was lost, the “titanium ocean” was discovered on the frames recorded on the Sub support ship.
In June 2023, Titan was built up about 90 minutes into the descent to see the “Titanic” crash, died aboard all five people.
Passengers paid Oceangate to see a ship lying 3800 m.
On board were Oceangate CEO Stokon Rash, British researcher Hamish Hamis, French Water-Waddress Paul Henri Norgeolet, British-Pakistan Businessman Shahzad Davud and his 19-year-old son Suleman.
The BBC had unprecedented access to the US Coast Guard (USCG) for the IMPUY: The Titanic Sub Catastrophe.
The footage was recently obtained by USCG and shows that Wandy Rush, the wife of Mr.
The video was presented as evidence for the USCG Maritime Council, which has spent the last two years, looking at the catastrophic Sub failure.
The documentary also implies that the carbon fiber used to build submersible began to break the year before the deadly dive.
Support for the Titanium ship was with Sub while it dived in the Atlantic Ocean. The video shows Mrs. Rash, who was the director of Oceangate together with her husband, sat in front of a computer that was used to send and receive text messages from Titan.
When Sub reaches a depth of about 3300 m, a noise sounds like a door drew. Mrs. Rush is evident to pause, and then look and ask other Oceangate crew that noise.
She then gets a text message from Sub, saying that he fell two weights, which seems to have made her mistakenly think that immersion continues as expected.
USCG says the noise actually was the sound of titanium. However, a text message that was probably sent before the SUB failed, it took more time to get to the ship than the sound of the imbusion.
All five people aboard the titanium instantly.
Deep Sea experts and some former Oceangate employees about Titan’s design were warned to the deadly immersion. One described it as “Bryvka” and said the disaster was “inevitable”.
Titan has never passed an independent safety assessment known as certification, and the main problem was that its housing – the main building where the passengers were sitting – was made of layers of carbon fiber mixed with resin.
USCG claims that it has now determined the moment when the housing has started to fail.
Carbon fibers are a very unusual material for deep marine immersion because it is unreliable under pressure. The known problem is that carbon fiber layers can be separated, a process called bundle.
The USCG believes that the layers of the carbon fiber began to break during the immersion to the Titanic, which occurred the year before the catastrophe – the 80th dive made by Titan.
Passengers on board reported that he had heard a loud blow when he was driven back to the surface. They said at a time when Mr. Rush said that the noise was shifted in his frame.
But USCG states that the data collected from the sensors set to the titanium shows that the explosion was caused by stratification.
“The department in the Dive 80 was the beginning of the end,” said Lieutenant’s commander Katie Williams with USCG.
“And everyone who stepped on the” titanium “after the immersion of 80 risk their lives.”
In the summer 2022, Titan took the passengers for another three lowering – two to the Titanic and one to the neighboring reef before he fell on the next deep lowering, in June 2023.
Oin Faning’s businessman was aboard “Titan” over the last two immersion before the disaster.
“If you ask a simple question:” I would go again, knowing what I know now? ” ” – No answer,” he said BBC News.
“A lot of people would not have gone. Very intelligent people who lost their lives, which, if they had all the facts, would not have done this journey.”
A deep sea researcher Viktor Veskov said he had serious doubts about Titan, and that he told the people that the diving at noon was like playing Russian roulette.
“I myself warned people from getting into this submerged. I specifically told them it was just a matter of time before it fell catastrophically. I said Stockton Sam that I believed in it.”
After the divided, its grim fragments were discovered on the atlantic sea bottom.
The USCG described the process of sifting the restored debris – and said that Mr. Rasha’s clothing was found, as well as business cards and Titanic stickers.
Later this year, the US Coast Guard will publish the final report on the results of the investigation, which is aimed at establishing what went wrong and prevent such a catastrophe, similar to what will happen again.
Speaking to the BBC documentary team, Christina Davud, who lost her husband Shahzad and son Suleman in the catastrophe, said she had changed her forever.
“I don’t think anyone who is experiencing a loss and such an injury may be the same,” she said.
Ripple Oceangate disaster is likely to continue for years – some private lawsuits will already be filed and can lead to criminal prosecution.
Oceangate said the BBC: “We again offer our deep condolences to the families of those who died on June 18, 2023, and all who suffered from a tragic accident.
“Ever since the tragedy has taken place, Oceangate has constantly ceased its activity and has focused its resources in full cooperation with investigations. It would be inappropriate to respond further while we are waiting for agencies.”
You can watch the name: Titanic Sub disaster on Tuesday 27 on BBC Two. It will also be available on BBC iPlayer.
