The catastrophic implosion of OceanGate’s Titan submersible that claimed five lives in June 2023 was entirely preventable, according to a damning report released by the US Coast Guard Marine Board of Investigation.

Multiple contributing factors — including OceanGate’s toxic workplace environment and profit-over-safety ethos — led to the entirely "preventable" implosion of a submersible that killed five people off Newfoundland two years ago, Coast Guard investigators said Tuesday.

A report on the death of five people in the Titan submersible blames design, maintenance, and inspection flaws for its failure. “It all came back to Mr. Rush,” the head of the investigation told WIRED.
