OceanGate: How Stockton Rush Ignored Every Warning Before The Titan Imploded

They heard the carbon fibre cracking on every dive. They fired the engineer who raised the alarm. They ignored letters from the Marine Technology Society, from experienced submariners, and from the very passengers who had ridden in the sub. And then on June 18th 2023, they sent five people to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. This is the complete story of OceanGate and the Titan submersible disaster — from Stockton Rush's obsession with opening the deep ocean to the public, to the construction of a carbon fibre sub that experts repeatedly warned could not withstand the pressure, to the extraordinary stories of those who turned down the trip, and the five who didn't come back. Stockton Rush, Hamish Harding, Shahzada Dawood, his 19-year-old son Suleman — who took his mother's ticket — and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet. We cover the ignored safety reports, the whistleblower who was fired and sued, the passengers who heard cracking sounds on every dive, and the moment the US Navy detected the implosion acoustically — and said nothing for days. 🔔 Subscribe for weekly true crime and mystery documentaries 📧 Business enquiries: [email protected]
