“Riveting And Timely” Documentary Coming On OceanGate Titan Submersible Tragedy, Directed By Last Man To See Crew Alive


An OceanGate submersible documentary on the Titan disaster is in post-production, directed by the last man to see the crew alive.

Through breathtaking never-before-seen footage, the audience will be able to experience first-hand what intrigued the Titan crew to embark on this dangerous journey, answering the question why people are drawn to the wonder and mystery of deep-sea exploration.” Further, the New York Times reported several weeks after the implosion, “Titan’s carbon fiber cylinder was attached to titanium hemispheres, creating several joints of dissimilar materials that are challenging to bond properly.” Filmmaker and ocean explorer James Cameron is among those who have vocally criticized OceanGate, calling the submersible’s design “critically flawed.” Cameron, who has visited the wreck of the Titanic 33 times and explored the Mariana Trench – the deepest point in the ocean — in a submersible of his own design, gave several interviews the day after the implosion, noting in one of them, “People in the deep-sea submergence engineering community warned [OceanGate] that this could lead to catastrophic failure.”
