NTSB: Engineering Flaws Caused Titan Submersible's Fatal Implosion during Titanic Mission

The National Transportation Safety Board determined that engineering flaws caused the Titan submersibles catastrophic implosion during its Titanic mission, resulting in the instant deaths of five passengers.

• The Titan submersible imploded in June 2023 while descending to the Titanic wreck in the Atlantic Ocean, killing all five people on board instantly.
• The National Transportation Safety Boards final report highlighted faulty engineering and the use of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers as major contributors to the submersibles hull failure.
• The United States Coast Guard coordinated the recovery efforts following the Titan incident, which raised serious concerns about safety standards in submersible engineering.
