OceanGate implosion: First footage of Titan sub wreckage revealed | LiveNOW from FOX

The first footage showing the wreckage of OceanGate Expeditions' Titan submersible has been released since the vessel’s implosion last year.

The U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation (MBI) unveiled the video during a public hearing in North Charleston, South Carolina.

The footage, captured by a remotely operated vehicle, shows the results of the catastrophic implosion of the 22-foot submersible on June 18, 2023, resulting in the tragic loss of all five people aboard.

On June 18, 2023, five people boarded the OceanGate Titan submersible to visit the Titanic wreckage site. This was the company's third annual voyage to the site and each passenger paid $250,000 to view the wreckage.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft spoke about the hearing with maritime expert Sal Mercogliano.

They practically went down in a trash can.

I was not born with gills, nor with wings. I will keep my ass on the ground.

[willazeppeli]

They wanted the full Titanic experience. They had it. Ocean Gate delivers.

I still can't believe people paid 250K for a seat on a DIY submarine. A fool and his money are soon parted.

Never put your life in the hands of an arrogant narcissist.

[wkwildliferoyal]

Whats up with that ratchet strap holding it together?

[Pwj]

The fact that they called it OceanGate, they knew it was going to end with a big scandal.

[ATopx]

Ocean Gate 2.0 now taking orders to explore the wreckage of Titan

[LuckySpinster.]

it was reckless. You didn't need to be an expert in the field to realise that. The odds weren't good

[rorygalusha]

I like how all the video 'models' showed it completely destroyed

[samsonfpv]

Imagine paying 250k to look at the titanic thru a screen. Like the rest of the world

[josephwilson]

That thing is not a submersible. It was a Death Trap just like James Cameron has stated many times. It was never built to go that low.

[butteryfriedwizard]

Well, at least no "Uninspired White Men" were involved in its design. I'm sure it was very important to the final voyagers.

[Eric-qovv]

From Ocean Gate to Ocean Bait. This whole story is so frustrating. Stockton killed 4 innocent people

[laurageorgina]

The ratchet strap seemed to have been the best material, it’s intact while the rest got destroyed.

[PoipoleEntertainment]

I think most likely the reason we are seeing the footage now is that it wasn’t appropriate timing considering it would have been an adding insult to injury to the victims family members, but also for the fact that they needed this footage to show how Stockton Squish was an utter fool for letting his know it all ego come first before safety.

[ronschroeder]

Going down in a submersible to see the titanic that has ratchet straps on it is wild!!!

[andrewmacdonald]

A disaster waiting to happen...that thing shouldn't have been allowed to take passengers..absolute joke..

[TheMarschmallow]

The entire submersible industry thought Oceangate was dangerous. Interview anyone in the industry

[colinwhiteneck]

Make a sub out of fabric and glue. Real genius
