A US Coast Guard hearing into the 2023 Titan submersible disaster has ended but not before some dramatic revelations. Here are the key takeaways.
There was a a slight shudder in the Titan submersible prior to its implosion deep in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, killing five people, a hearing into the tragedy has been told on its last day.
Captain Jamie Frederick, commander of the Boston Coast Guard sector, said it was "unconscionable that they wouldn't share that" in real time, and said it could have "changed the equation" in terms of the Coast Guard rescue response.NASA and Boeing officials on Thursday described what they called their limited roles in the creation of the doomed submersible Titan.
Boeing was involved in an early feasibility study of the use of carbon fibre for Titan's hull and in OceanGate's acoustic sensors on the hull before the relationship ended. That said, she told the Coast Guard panel: "There definitely was an urgency to deliver on what we had offered and a dedication and perseverance towards that goal."Amber Bay, director of administration for OceanGate, speaks at the Titan sub hearing."There's not a day that passes that I don't think of them, their families and the loss," she testified through tears.
