Hand Tightened Bolts on Imploded OceanGate Titan Submersible - Titanic Failure
They used hand ratchets to tighten the bolts on the doomed Titanic submersible.
OceanGate will likely face criminal charges after 'Titan' Sub's 'Catastrophic' Implosion if the company ignored safety precautions, however C.E.O. Stockton Rush imploded with the ship after saying Oceangate didn't want to hire "50-year-old white men" because they weren't "inspirational."
An ROV discovered the debris located 1,600 feet from the bough of the tailbone of the Titanic wreckage on the seafloor, and "the debris field is consistent with a catastrophic implosion of the vessel," the U.S. Coast Guard said, meaning that it would have been a quick implosion with no possible chance of survival.
OceanGate has announced that all five passengers “have sadly been lost.”
