ALBAWABA - OceanGate's Titan submersible is once again the talk of social media after one of the final messages from a crew member was revealed before it imploded on 18 Jun. 18, 2023, resulting in the death of its five passengers.
One of the final messages from the crewmate was "All good here" following news images from the US Coast Guard of the Titan submersible resting just 1,600 feet away from the Titanic.
One user took to a comment section discussing the picture in question and said, "I thought it imploded" to which another replied with, "The section you’re seeing wasn’t the structure that was pressurized, what you’re seeing is the very outer shell that was purely for cosmetic appeal."
Last words from Titan submersible crew revealed
According to The Guardian, The US Coast Guard revealed the animation on Monday in hopes of investigating the reason behind the devastating implosion that cost the passengers their lives. It's expected to be a two-week hearing in the investigation of the incident.
The crew lost contact with the surface after an exchange of texts about the submersible's depth and weight as it further descended into the water and when asked if the Titan could still see the ship it took off from, one crew mate said, "all good here."
