The Titanic sub was a submersible named the "Titan" to take explorers down to the RMS Titanic at the ocean floor in the northern Atlantic Ocean. As constructed, the Titan was 22-foot (6.7-meter) long.[1]
The Titan reportedly imploded from water pressure in its initial descent, apparently prior to reaching the Titanic itself.[1] All five passengers were tragically killed.
Canada discovered the wreckage, although the U.S. Coast Guard had been searching for days. Reportedly the U.S. Navy had detected the likely implosion of the Titan but this information was withheld by the Biden Administration from the public and apparently the rescue efforts.
Speculation about flaws
There has been extensive discussion on the internet speculating as to possible engineering flaws in the Titan, but the cause of its implosion or explosion remains unclear.
Oxygen tank fire?
Deadly, oxygen tank fires occur in hospitals,[2] and appear as plausible to have been the cause as the media-presumed implosion of the sub from water pressure.
Nearly a third of the sub consisted of oxygen.[3]
