The Titan was owned and operated by OceanGate Expeditions and had been chronicling the Titanic's decay and the underwater ecosystem around the sunken ocean liner since 2021.
The investigation into the tragedy is ongoing, and authorities and experts are seeking answers about the time and cause of the implosion, the location of the victims' bodies, and lessons for the future of undersea exploration.
On January 24, 2021, the OceanGate Explorer vessel, Titan, went missing in the North Atlantic while on a deep-sea exploration mission.
The wreckage was found on February 1, 2021, and all crew members were confirmed dead.
The Titan's disappearance highlights the lack of regulation in deep-sea exploration, as the vessel was not registered or classified by any regulatory agencies.
The US Coast Guard is searching for more clues about the Titan's disappearance, and legal action, including wrongful death and negligence lawsuits, are likely.
The search for the Titan is expected to cost millions of dollars and involves multiple agencies and private entities.
