New footage of Titan submersible wreck released as public hearing resumes


Remarkable new footage shows more wreckage from the doomed Titan Submersible wreck, as a hearing resumed Thursday into the deadly deep-sea mission.

A nearly two-minute clip shows various pieces of the sunken, makeshift vessel scattered across the sea bed some 2.5 miles below the surface, including pieces from the rear dome as well as remnants of the hull.


It was released late Wednesday, hours before the hearing into the doomed Titanic mission, which ended with the submersible imploding, killing all five onboard in June 2023, restarted Thursday.


“We’re releasing more footage of the Titan salvage ahead of technical testimony and exhibits,” the Coast Guard wrote alongside the newest footage.

“Transparency remains our priority as we provide context and information to the public.”


The eerie new footage comes two days after the release of the first clip showing the sunken vessel up close, which officials said was "conclusive evidence of the catastrophic loss of the submersible Titan and the death of all five members aboard."

Thursday's hearing is due to hear from two former

OceanGate employees - mission specialist Renata Rojas and former scientific director Dr.Steven Ross.


Their hearings follow scathing testimony Tuesday from OceanGate’s former director of marine operations David Lochridge, who highlighted the “appalling” faults with the original model of the doomed Titan submersible that he refused to sign off on — which later led to his firing.


"It was inevitable something was going to happen.

It was just a when," Lochridge said.

The veteran diver and submersible pilot said

Tuesday that he repeatedly clashed with Stockton Rush over how the CEO liked to "do things on the cheap.


Along with Rush, the implosion killed British adventurer Hamish Harding, French explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Pakistani father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood.


Lochridge is one of 10 former OceanGate staffers to speak during the hearings, which will continue through next Friday.

The hearing aims to “uncover the facts surrounding the incident and develop recommendations to prevent similar tragedies in the future,” the Coast Guard said in a statement.
