Titan submersible implodes during Titanic dive, killing 5; OceanGate suspends operations amid safety concerns.

Guillermo Sohnlein, co-founder of OceanGate, testified to the U.S. Coast Guard about the company's initial plan to develop a fleet of deep-diving submersibles for global exploration. The Titan, an experimental submersible, imploded during a June 2023 dive to the Titanic wreck, killing five. OceanGate has since suspended operations and is cooperating with ongoing investigations into the incident, which raised concerns about the safety of private undersea exploration.
