The moment that Oceangate’s Titan submersible was lost has been revealed in footage recorded on the sub’s support ship.

Titan imploded about 90 minutes into a descent to see the wreck of the Titanic in June 2023, killing all five people on board.

The footage was recently obtained by the USCG and shows Wendy Rush, the wife of Mr Rush, hearing the sound of the implosion while watching on from the sub’s support ship and asking: “What was that bang?”

    Bear in mind, that’s the sound of a 19 year old kid who didn’t want to go on that trip dying.

      and the sound of fall rain that lulls one to sleep is also the sound of the unhoused dying of hypothermia c’est la vie

        The sound of rain means many things. The sound of the Titan imploding means one thing.

          No comment on the further context from the rest of the thread, I would simply point out that the ocean is a rich and vibrant place with abundant life that wastes nothing, even more so at the sea floor. Also, the pressure wave from the implosion and subsequent contamination and any other fallout related to the rapid unscheduled disassembly probably harmed more than those just inside the vessel. The sound means more than one thing.

      beyond that, just before the fated voyage another billionare/millionaire and his son backed out of the ride for the same reason. that was a red flag. also making the ride 150k instead of 7-10mil in a titanium sphere is another big red flag.
