Shocking details emerge from Titan hearing

In a bone chilling hearing held on Monday, OceanGate’s former engineering director, Tony Nissen, painted an even darker picture. He revealed a series of shocking safety concerns that he claims were brushed aside by Stockton Rush himself, OceanGate founder who was operating the Titan when it met its tragic end. Titan was left exposed to weather and elements while in storage for seven months an was never subject to third party checks.

Even more disturbing is the revelation from former finance director Bonnie Carl, who testified that OceanGate’s so-called “mission specialists” were essentially just wealthy customers with no real qualifications. Carl, like Nissen, left the company due to these glaring safety oversights.

The Coast Guard also presented an animated video recreating the final, tragic moments of Titan’s descent. The sub’s last message to its support ship, the Polar Prince, read, “All good here,” before it suddenly went dark just two minutes later.

Several lawsuits have been filed by the families of the victims, including a $50 million wrongful death claim from Nargeolet’s family. This disaster continues to raise painful questions about OceanGate’s gross negligence and how the tragedy may have unfolded.
