Film To Include Firsthand Titan Footage and Unfolding Tragedy In 2023
The new documentary by Dirty Dozen Productions and RadicalMedia focuses on the June 2023 Titan submersible implosion that resulted in five deaths traveling to Titanic shipwreck in the North Atlantic Ocean. Aron Arngrimsson directs this production with additional help by others and according to accounts is cited as last person to have seen the entire crew before their fatal voyage in summer 2023 closing hatch on their submersible before they descended into the deep water to see the famed wreckage. First hand video was included in the film from Arngrimsson along with the events as it unfolded that became an enormous international news item. The loss of the Titan submersible also generated discussions about risks surrounding uncertified experimental designs.
The film tells about "the emotional experience of five Titan crew members revealing family stories behind media headlines while exposing painful consequences from an exploration that went very wrong." The U.S. Coast Guard concluded that missing submersible imploded with deaths occurring instantly during its decent into the area nearby the Titanic location where previous trips have been made successfully by this submersible’s design and manufacturer. OceanGate Expeditions founder Stockton Rush also died who had also been criticized previously on camera due to uncertified construction on the submersible including usage of off the shelf products in order to complete its creation with some reports finding discrepancies on many structural claims.
Titan Documentary Plans to Showcase At Festivals With Release Across Major Streaming Services

OceanGate's Design Flaws Subject of Investigation into Submersible Disaster
The OceanGate vessel was operated by Stockton Rush who was its owner. The submersible submerged below the North Atlantic Ocean during June of 2023 to reach Titanic wreck and five people were in the submersible at time which later lead to an investigation for details relating to vessel design. Within approximately ninety minutes the craft had lost all communications and a desperate rescue ensued. Four days after communication was lost a remotely operated underwater vessel discovered Titan debris and confirmed implosion with entire crew meeting death. OceanGate had previously charged a quarter of a million per individual for expeditions that visited the Titanic showing it's profit driven model in earlier instances with multiple dive events within the previous 2 years. The structural components plus the overall design including construction and the materials have all been reviewed due to possibility for their contributions towards tragic event leading to full destruction.
Titan Submersible's Shape and Material Questioned In Comparison to Other Ocean Vehicles
Many question the design aspects of the vessel with intense deep sea water pressure creating an even dispersion around sphere style vessel while Titan was built like a pill with hull built mainly from cheaper carbon fiber than standard titanium that also used in many similar diving vessels. The New York Times provided reports after several weeks of implosion "Titan’s carbon fiber cylinder was attached to titanium hemispheres creating several joints of dissimilar materials that are challenging to bond properly." James Cameron, also ocean explorer noted that OceanGate did not consider warning from people regarding construction design saying those warning did lead to “catastrophic failure”. James Cameron further noted similarities with Titanic tragedy saying all the many warning about ice were not acknowledged.
