Regulatory Gaps and Oversight Failures in Titan Implosion
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) released its final report on the Titan pressure vessel, engineered by OceanGate, which imploded due to intense water pressure in the North Atlantic Ocean in summer 2023, instantly killing all on board.
Four passengers, including the pilot and CEO of OceanGate, were aboard the vessel, attempting to reach the Titanic wreck site. The NTSB report states that OceanGate's flawed engineering and testing process directly caused the catastrophic implosion.
- The Titan's pressure vessel likely sustained damage after its 80th dive, developing weak spots that weakened the hull.
- After its 82nd dive, the sub received further damage from an unknown origin, weakening it more.
The report highlights regulatory gaps and oversight failures.
