NTSB Report: Engineering Flaws Caused Titan Submersible's Fatal Implosion

The National Transportation Safety Board concluded that engineering flaws caused the Titan submersibles fatal implosion, resulting in the deaths of five individuals near the wreck of the Titanic.

• In June 2023, the Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean during its descent to the wreck of the Titanic, killing all five people on board instantly.
• The National Transportation Safety Boards final report identified faulty engineering as the primary cause of the catastrophic hull failure of the Titan submersible.
• Key factors in the implosion included issues with the pressure vessel, constructed from carbon-fiber-reinforced polymers, leading to its inability to withstand oceanic pressures.
