Fired Employee Just Reveal DISTURBING New Details About the Titan Submarine Disaster!

As the new day of testimony begins, the U.S. Coast Guard continues its investigation into the tragic implosion of the Titan submersible. Today, Fred Hagen, a mission specialist who was on the Titan in 2022, and several other key figures will share their experiences and insights into the safety and operations of OceanGate's experimental deep-sea submersible.
Fred Hagen, a mission specialist from Pennsylvania, recounted his experience aboard the Titan during the 2022 expedition. While reflecting on the moment he saw the Titanic wreckage, Hagen described it as an "iconic moment" that he had long dreamed about. "You've dreamt about it, and you've read about it, and suddenly it's there, and you've achieved this dream," he told local media before the hearing.
As Hagen took the stand to provide his testimony, the hearing focused on the technical challenges and incidents he witnessed during his dives aboard the Titan.
Fred Hagen openly acknowledged the risks associated with the Titan submersible, likening the experience to an "adrenaline rush" rather than a safe expedition. "It's kind of like jumping out of an airplane," Hagen explained, adding that "you don't do it because it's safe."
During his testimony, Hagen recounted several alarming incidents that occurred during his dives:
Front Dome Incident:
Hagen described a particularly dangerous moment when the front dome of the sub sheared off after the platform hit the deck with force. "It basically sheared off several bolts, and they shot off like bullets," Hagen said, explaining that the titanium dome "fell off."
Spiraling Dive:
On another dive, due to incorrect weighting, the sub was off-balance and began spiraling thousands of meters to the sea floor. Once the sub reached the bottom, the starboard thruster failed, and the crew found themselves spinning in circles as they attempted to navigate.
Stuck Weights:
The weights, designed to help the sub ascend by dropping, became stuck during the same dive. Fortunately, the Titan eventually made it back to the surface despite these issues.
Titanic Wreckage and Loud Bang:
Hagen also described how the Titan briefly became caught in the wreckage of the Titanic during one of the dives. On a separate ascent, the crew heard a loud bang, adding to the tension of the journey.

Listening to Stockton Rush talk for five minutes would be enough for me to know not to do anything potentially life threatening that he was involved in.

Stockton ignoring safety and disregarding everyone's concerns doesn't make you an "innovator or a cowboy." You took paying customers (no matter what silly title you gave them) who trusted you and your company and paid with their lives. If you were alive you would be in jail and on trial for murder. In the end, this to me is very much just like a murder-suicide.

Will the model implode during bathtub missions?

[mattaddison]

Suddenly every employee of Oceangate is very expressive about how dangerous it all was. I think they're just trying to shift all blame on Stockton to save their asses.

[Symoungaming]

Implosion should have prevented if Stockton Rush use Flex Seal instead of Thick Peanut Butter

[joeblowjohnny]

That 3d model Oceansgate submersible is NOT gonna implosion in my tub is it ?
😂😂😂😂😂

[MuckRatz]

His wife isnt there because she isnt responsible. Think this is more a "how did this happen" than who's fault is it.

[tyishalashay]

The fact that Wendy Rush hasn’t came out and said ANYTHING lets me know how much of a coward she is.

[matthewrowe]

Hagen wasnt a ' mission specialist ' he was a paying passenger his testimony should be treated as such certainly real experts experience of Stockton completely is at odds with Hagens giddy excitement over nearly dying

[friedatheiling]

either this script was written by AI or its author does not give a single shit about his audience. My gods

[masonrz]

We don't even need to create a custom gate name for them (bend gate, etc.) They created one for themselves by naming the company "Ocean Gate"

[PoipoleEntertainment]

This is what happens when Stockton Rush made something out of the garbage bin from his mom’s house. This was an accident waiting to happen and could have been prevented, the moment Stockton introduced the game controller as the navigation system was a red flag

[toadamine]

im fine with anyone building anyting they want and testing it however they want, using or not using whatever safety practices they deem prudent.... but they shouldn not be able to sell commercial rides on it till its certified.

[MatthewOnAMissionFromGod]

Does the mini submarine model come with chopped meat inside?

[robertpresha]

I wonder what is going on in his wife's mind loosing her grandparents and husband at the titanic 😮. No one in her family should ever go near the titanic again.

[jonhelmer]

Anyone who trusts Father Ted to build a submarine is asking for trouble.

[kiaayo]

I'm just grateful the Titan situation gave us a lot of entertainment and a year+ down the road now they are reviving that enjoyment to give us more information about this idiotically predictable outcome.

[sunninho]

If only the model was properly CNC'd with titanium representing what the real Titan should have been

[LuckySpinster.]

do we get a Stockton with that sub? Asking for a friend...

[MarknoblesAcidhouseparty]

you're wild for selling that model
