What happened to the Crew of the Missing Titanic submarine?
After the long suspense that the world experienced last week, the Titan submersible that went missing while on an adventurous mission to the wreck of the Titanic has been found, and it is presumed that its five-man crew all perished.
This submersible, a portable submarine designed and developed by a company called OceanGate Expeditions, was on an adventurous mission to tour the wreck of the Titanic located 12,000 feet under the sea, a journey they embarked on, on June 18, 2023, and suddenly they lost contact with the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard launched a search to rescue them, but they were unable to find the Titan Submersible or any member of the crew.
However, while the story puts the whole world in suspense as to what might have happened to them, the Coast Guard announced on June 21, 2023, that it had found debris from the portable submarine (Titan submersible) located on the floor of the ocean and at a distance of about 1,600 feet away from the Titanic wreck. Experts say the study of the debris indicates that there was a catastrophic implosion (that is, an inward explosion), which they said might have killed the five-man crew.
List of the members of the OceanGate Titan crew

- Shahzada Dawood, a Pakistani businessman

What we should learn from this sad news is that the story of the Titanic and the tragic end of the many souls that were on board has been one of the many losses of humans to the sea, and the dangers of humans exploring the ocean are still great. Let’s not forget that the sea is a sacred place, and what we don’t know yet about it is still great.
The families of the victims have been notified of the tragedy, and we are told that they are being offered support by OceanGate Expeditions. The company is also working with the Coast Guard to investigate what really took place.
This sad incident has reminded us of the risks involved in deep-sea exploration, but it does not deter explorers from pursuing this challenging and rewarding field. The Titanic wreck is a unique and important historical site, and there is still much to learn about it. Deep-sea explorers will continue to push the boundaries of exploration, and they will undoubtedly make new discoveries in the years to come.
