The submarine, which was to transport five passengers to the wreckage of Titanic In the north of the Atlantic Ocean, sunk in June 2023 without leaving survivors.
The 335 -page document of the American Coast Guard, published last Tuesday (5), revealed that the incident had been caused by the loss of structural integrity of the carbon fiber hull.
“This loss of structural integrity caused the sudden and catastrophic implosion of the hull,” said the report, according to an article of BBC News.

The passengers were “exposed to a water pressure of about 4,930 pounds per square inch, which led to the instant death of the five occupants”.
The document also reveals that Rush would have “completely ignored vital inspections, data analyzes and preventive maintenance procedures, which led to a catastrophic event”.
The report also underlines that OceanGate had a “toxic working environment” which dissuaded employees from expressing their concerns about the submarine.
