Titan Submersible Disaster: Stories reveal safety worries and rush in deep ocean exploration.

The Coast Guard is investigating the Titan submersible implosion that killed five people. Witnesses have been sharing their experiences and concerns about OceanGate, the company that owned the Titan.

Some witnesses, like NASA and Boeing officials, described their limited roles in the Titan's creation. They expressed concerns and ultimately distanced themselves from the project.

Other witnesses, including former OceanGate employees, raised concerns about safety and the pressure to conduct dives. They described technical issues, a lack of proper testing, and a challenging work environment.

Passengers who went on previous Titan dives also shared their experiences, including mechanical problems and a near-miss incident. Despite these issues, some passengers defended OceanGate, stating they felt the company was transparent about the risks.

The investigation is ongoing, and the Coast Guard is examining whether safety regulations were followed and if the tragedy could have been prevented. The testimony highlights the importance of thorough safety protocols and addressing concerns in deep-sea exploration.
