This is what the submersible looks like OceanGate Titan at the bottom of the sea, just 500 metres from the bow of the Titanic.
The United States Coast Guard revealed an image showing the Titan submarine that tragically imploded on June 18, 2023, killing the 5 people aboard the OceanGate company submarine. The bathyscaphe was intended to explore the remains of the Titanic on a tourist expedition that ended in tragedy.

The first public image of the submarine on the ocean floor was revealed at a press conference by the United States Coast Guard and it is mentioned that the photograph was taken last year when they were on search missions.
The remains of the submarine are located at approximately 3,346 meters deep and shortly before the accident, the crew’s messages revealed that they were “fine”, however moments later nothing more was known about them until 4 days later at the bottom of the ocean.
Both the tragedy of the Titanic in 1912 and that of the Titan submarine in 2023 are two historical events that will remain forever marked in the memory of the entire world, turning the disturbing similarities into a curse.
Along with the images, a video of the submarine in the depths was also revealed, which is publicly available on social media.
