Wreckage highlights fatal Titan sub flaws

'Inadequate engineering' led to horror

- By James Knuckey

THE doomed Titan submersible lies crushed at the bottom of the sea in an eerie picture released yesterday by investigators — who say “inadequate engineering” caused the tragedy that left five people dead.

Footage from a remotely operated underwater vehicle revealed parts of the deep sea craft with cracks and even gaps in its adhesive.

The Titan suddenly imploded in June 2023, while on a dive to view the wreckage of the Titanic, 12,500ft deep in the Atlantic Ocean.

Billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, 58, businessman Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his student son Suleman, 19, all British nationals, died instantly along with French former diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, and American Stockton Rush, 61, boss of OceanGate — the company that owned the submarine.
