TL;DR Summary

The victims aboard the OceanGate submersible, which imploded during a dive to the Titanic shipwreck, likely realized their fate just 48 to 71 seconds before the tragedy occurred. An electrical fault caused the loss of thrust, disrupting the submersible's stability. As it fell vertically, the passengers experienced horror and fear in complete darkness. Structural issues with the hull, including possible defects in the carbon-fiber material, have been identified as potential causes of the implosion. OceanGate has suspended operations and faced criticism for safety protocols, while investigations into the incident continue.
