Footage of the moment the Titan submersible wreckage was found has been released as part of a public hearing into the deaths of the five people onboard.
The search for the vessel, operated by US diving company OceanGate, ended with no survivors being found after it disappeared during a dive to the wreak of the Titanic in June 2023.
The new video, released by the US Coast Guard, shows the Titan’s wrecked tail cone strewn on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean.
Fragments of debris from the submersible and a knot of wires can also be seen close to the wreckage, in footage captured by recovery crews.
The Titan imploded about two hours into its descent to the Titanic, with intense ocean pressure causing it to collapse in on itself off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
The five killed were Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of the vessel’s operator, Hamish Harding, a British explorer, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French diver, and Shahzada Dawood, a British-Pakistani businessman, and his 19-year-old son Suleman.
