Sad final words from doomed Titan sub revealed to the public

After Netflix this week announced the upcoming release of a Titan sub disaster documentary, followers of the case are reminded of the harrowing final words uttered by those on board.

The transcript of the conversation was released to the public in the months following the vessel's disappearance in June 2023, which occurred amid a voyage to the wreckage of the Titanic.

During its expedition to the seabed of the shipwreck, the submersible - owned and operated by US company OceanGate Expeditions - vanished after travelling just 435 miles from the shore of Newfoundland in Canada.

A massive operation was subsequently launched to locate the Titan, a 22ft long and 9ft sub, with a height of a little over 8ft, with authorities searching the surrounding ocean for any trace of life.

The crew on board the Titan sub had been communicating with staff on board their support vessel, named the Polar Prince, by messages.

However, contact was lost after an exchange of repeated inquiries from the Polar Prince about the submersible's depth and weight as it descended.

The Polar Prince then asked repeatedly if the Titan could still see the ship on its onboard display.

One of Titan's final responses, which became 'spotty' as it descended, was simply 'all good here' during the dive and never heard from again, according to the visual recreation which was released Monday (16 September).

Five passengers were trapped inside when the vessel lost contact with its surface crew after dropping 12,500ft below sea level. The crew consisted of a pilot, a 'content expert' and three paying customers.

The US Coast Guard later announced the 'catastrophic implosion' of the Titan vessel on 22 June that year, four days after the surface crew first reported a loss of contact - after debris was discovered near the wreck of the Titanic.

It was ruled that the implosion had killed all five passengers on board - including OceanGate CEO and co-founder Stockton Rush, British billionaire Hamish Harding, French diver/Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood.

The US Coast Guard reportedly made the chilling revelation on the very first day of what is expected to be a two-week hearing on the causes of the fatal implosion.

The aim of the hearing, the coast guard said in a statement earlier this month, is to 'uncover the facts surrounding the incident and develop recommendations to prevent similar tragedies in the future'.

"There are no words to ease the loss endured by the families impacted by this tragic incident," said Jason Neubauer of the Coast Guard Office of Investigations, who led the hearing.

"But we hope that this hearing will help shed light on the cause of the tragedy and prevent anything like this from happening again."

According to producers, the upcoming Netflix documentary will examine OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush - including his fatal quest to become the next billionaire innovator.

It'll also shed further details on the 'doomed underwater endeavour that forced the world to reconsider the price of ambition in the depths of the ocean'.
