New deep-sea footage gives stunning look at doomed Titan submersible wreckage

Stunning new deep-sea footage shows the sunken Titan submersible’s severed tail cone resting on the ocean floor after its doomed voyage last June.

The Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation released the never-before-seen footage on Tuesday as part of the ongoing public hearing over the wreck, which killed all five passengers on a foolhardy voyage to see the wreckage of the Titanic around 2.5 miles down.

The eerie footage shows a fragment of the sub’s tail cone wedged into the sand, with the remotely operated camera marking it as being more than 3,775 meters (around 12,500 feet) deep.

“This video led to the conclusive evidence of the catastrophic loss of the submersible Titan and the death of all five members aboard,” the Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation wrote alongside the video.

Another creepy thing for the next group of billionaires to "explore"

[garywi.]

Just a 10th grade level of understanding of science would have prevented this. So beyond stupidly.

[ronhill]

The tailpiece was not part of the chamber and that is why it survived the implosion.

[JohnSmith-zxbg]

Why/How is there a RATCHET STRAP around it??

[thelonewrangler]

Did they pull it up and then resink it for the photo op? Whats with the cargo tiedown straps holding the outer shell on?🤔

[rdc]

I thought they said it imploded. I don't think it would look like that if it imploded.

[jackbooten]

Rock the boat, don't rock the boat baby, rock the boat, don't tip the boat over

Fun fact: they hand glued the carbon fiber to the titanium. It doesn’t seem they acid etched it or used an abrasive on it prior. This was destined to fail eventually.

As Stockton Rush himself would say: "Glug, glug".

[robbiepulliam]

That was sad those guys lost there lives because of one man knew it's wasn't safe

[beverlyjordan]

I’m amazed they located that much wreckage.

[pineapplesauce]

THEY TURNING THIS INTO A BASED ON A TRUE STORY MOVIE.

[rabidpepe]

who lives in the wreckage under the sea??

[michelebri]

Wild. Hard to believe there were humans in that

[scottohara]

Is that PlayStation controller intact?

[suzannederringer]

I'd forgotten that bizarre little Episode.

[josephrussell]

They risk their lives going miles deep to the bottom of the ocean in an eggshell. RIP again to all of them.

I thought for sure a Mangled Dead Body was gonna come Quickly & Creepily Crawling along the Sea Floor across the screen!!

(Before anyone says it, YES I Know the Bodies were essentially Vaporized in the implosion of the Titan Submersible)

[chrislong]

00:34 - I wish they had gone over to whatever is in the background at this point of the video!
Also, was that a PS2 controller on the ground?

Of course, this is only the outer shell and not the carbon fiber hull which is probably really small and hidden away inside that shell!

If one of the heads crossed the camera lens like in JAWS you would have had people sitting there pants
