T he U.S. Coast Guard has released its final report on the catastrophic implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible, which killed five people on a deep-sea voyage to the Titanic wreckage in June 2023, criticizing the company's CEO, Stockton Rush, and singling him out as a major reason for the disaster.

“This marine casualty and the loss of five lives was preventable,” said Jason Neubauer, chairman of the U.S. Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation charged with probing the Titan disaster.

The Coast Guard’s report on the Titan submersible disaster that killed five on the way to the Titanic says the implosion was “preventable.”
