In 2023, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and his passengers traveled deep into the Atlantic Ocean, planning to explore the RMS Titanic’s wreckage.
Before they reached their destination, the submersible they traveled in imploded, killing all five people on board. Recently, newly released footage revealed the muffled sound the submersible’s communications team heard after they lost contact with the vehicle.
Now, a new BBC documentary shares the evidence of what happened in the deep-sea tragedy.
When is ‘Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster’ on? What channel?

What’s on the footage released from the Titan implosion?
Rush’s wife, Wendy Rush, is seen with Gary Foss, part of the submersible’s tracking and communications team, on June 18, 2023. They were monitoring data and text while the vessel traveled deep into the North Atlantic Ocean.
“What was that bang?” Wendy asked. On the footage, the sound is a muffled thump, and neither Rush nor Foss seemed alarmed.
That sound, the U.S. Coast Guard said, “later correlated with the loss of communication and tracking” and “is believed to be the sound of the Titan’s implosion reaching the surface of the ocean.”
The video was provided to the Coast Guard by OceanGate Inc., the company that owned the submersible. The Coast Guard has yet to release the final report of its investigation.
When did the Titanic sink?
It wasn’t just a movie, kids. It’s real. The RMS Titanic, deemed “unsinkable,” hit an iceberg in the North Atlantic and sank. Thousands of passengers died.
At the time, the news industry operated much differently, and Indy papers had differing reports of what happened.
