The OceanGate submersible, Titan, was built with a special carbon fiber hull. OceanGate said they worked with NASA and Boeing on the design.

NASA said they helped a little, but mostly just gave advice on a small model. They were worried about how OceanGate was using their name.

Boeing helped with the early design of the hull. But OceanGate didn't follow all of their recommendations.

The Coast Guard is investigating the implosion and held a public hearing. They said the submersible was not independently reviewed, which is unusual.

Many people are now talking about the safety of private underwater exploration. OceanGate is no longer operating after the accident.
