Netflix documentary examines OceanGate Titan submersible disaster
Deadly Titan submersible implosion hearing
Today marked the final day of testimony in the U.S. Coast Guard hearing investigating last year's loss of the OceanGate Titan submersible.
The saga of the deadly 2023 implosion of OceanGate's Titan submersible is coming to Netflix.
"Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" directed by Mark Monroe, explores the ambitious vision of CEO Stockton Rush, whose pursuit of deep-sea exploration aimed to cement his place among billionaire innovators.
His mission to reach the Titanic wreckage site in a submersible, however, ended in tragedy.
The backstory:
In June 2023, the submersible imploded after making its third voyage to the Titanic in the North Atlantic.
The five people killed on the vessel were OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, British businessman Hamish Harding, father-and-son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, who are members of one of Pakistan’s most prominent families, and Paul-Henry Nargeolet, a former French navy officer who is considered a Titanic expert.

OceanGate, an Everett, Washington-based company that owned the Titan submersible, suspended operations after the implosion.
Netflix released the trailer this week. Watch it below.
"Titan: The OceanGate Disaster" will debut at the Tribeca Film Festival in June and will start streaming on Netflix on June 11.
