Summary

76% Informative

Images from the depths of the Atlantic show the wreckage of the sub crushed, mangled, and scattered across the sea floor.

Images were released by the US Coast Guard during an inquiry to establish what led to its catastrophic failure in June 2023 .

The sub was piloted by the company’s CEO Stockton Rush with French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet as co-pilot.

Mr Rush proudly described the sub as “experimental” but others had voiced their concerns to him about its unconventional design in the years prior to the dive.

Oceangate’s former Engineering Director Phil Brooks said the craft wasn’t properly checked after that dive because the company was struggling financially, and instead it was left for months on the dockside in Canada .

Some witnesses said Mr Rush had an unwavering belief in his sub.

Mr Rush would fight for what he wanted and wouldn't tolerate dissenting views.
