As a reminder, the Titan, a small submersible about 6.5 meters long, dived on June 18 to observe the wreck of the famous ship and was to resurface seven hours later. But contact was lost less than two hours after he left. There followed a huge, highly publicized rescue operation. Despite the enormous means deployed, the rescuers failed to find the crew, visibly killed by the implosion of the submarine. Only debris was discovered.
Disturbingly, David Lochridge, a former executive of the company, claims to have been fired after expressing serious doubts about the safety of the machine. According to him, the window of the device was not designed to withstand the pressure experienced at 000 m depth, which put the passengers in danger.
