Three years ago today, the OceanGate Titan submersible lost contact during a deep-sea expedition to the wreck of the RMS Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean.
The disappearance triggered a massive international search and rescue operation involving naval vessels, aircraft, and underwater detection equipment. Days later, investigators confirmed that the submersible had suffered a catastrophic implosion, resulting in the loss of all five people on board.
The tragedy sparked global discussions about deep-sea tourism, safety regulations, engineering standards, and the risks associated with exploring extreme underwater environments.
