Titan Sub Infosion Caused by Faulty Engineering, US Safety Board Finds – Nationwide
Poor engineering led to the installation of an undersea intake that killed five people on the way to the titanic battle, the National Transportation Security Board concluded in a report on Wednesday.
The NTSB made a statement in its final report on the failure of Helle and the installation of invisible titanium in 2023.
Everyone on board the submarine died instantly in the North Atlantic when the Titan made a catastrophic impact as it descended into formation.
The NTSB report says that the flawed engineering of the Titan “resulted in the construction of a carbon fiber composite hull that contained many anomalies and failed to meet the requirements of strength and durability.” It also revealed that OceanGate, the owner of the Titan, failed to adequately inspect the Titan and did not know its true strength.
The report also said that the Titan could have been found sooner had the incident been followed by the usual guidance of the emergency response, and that would have saved “the time and order that did not happen in this case.”
The NTSB report dovetails with a Coast Guard report released in August that described the installation of the Titan as a blockage. The Coast Guard determined that the safety procedures at Oceagate, a private company in Washington State, were ‘grossly flawed’ and found “mismatches” between safety protocols and actual practices.

Oceacate suspended operations in July 2023 and damaged the bottom. Company representatives did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday. A spokesperson for the Company expressed condolences to the families of those who died after the Coast Guard report was released in August.
The Titan installation killed Oceanate CEO Stockton Rush and led to energy and calls for stricter regulation of deep-sea drilling. The installation also killed the French explorer Paul-Henri NOOLBEROLET, known as “Mr. Titanic”; British Adventurer Hamish Harding; and two members of a prominent Pakistani family, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood.
The NTSB report recommends a Coast Guard commission An expert panel to study undercarriage and other pressure vehicles for human occupancy. It also recommends that the Coast Guard implement traffic laws informed by that study.
It was also called by Odiodi Ogcabi to “distribute the findings of the study in the industry,” which has grown in recent years as privately recalled.
The ship has been making trips to the Titanic site since 2021. Its last dive came in the morning of June 18, 2023. The illegal recovery of the lost and its support vessel about two hours later was reported in the Afternoon. Ships, planes and equipment were rushed to the scene 735 kilometers (700 miles) south of St. John, Newfoundland.
Several searches for survivors in Canada have made international headlines. It soon became clear that there were no survivors, and the coast guard and other authorities began an investigation into what had happened.
