TL;DR Summary

New details suggest that the Titan submersible, designed by OceanGate, may have attempted to resurface before the tragedy occurred. A former advisor revealed that the submersible dropped weights at 3,500 meters, indicating an aborted dive, before losing communication and tracking, leading to an implosion. The advisor criticized the company's design choices, including the use of a PlayStation controller for piloting. The U.S. Coast Guard is currently investigating the incident to determine if there were any prior indications of problems before the submersible was destroyed.
