    The Titan submersible , which tragically imploded in the North Atlantic resulting in the deaths of all five crew members, sent out a final message stating three simple words as disclosed during a hearing.

    The Marine Board of Investigation is conducting a two-week inquiry to determine what caused the catastrophic implosion .

    During the descent, the Titan's crew were in text communication with the support vessel Polar Prince, discussing depth and weight, until contact was abruptly lost, the hearing learned. One of the last messages from the Titan read "All good here."

    It emerged at the hearing that the Titan's hull had not undergone third-party review, a standard safety measure, and had been left exposed to the elements for seven months while in storage.

    Jason Neubauer from the Coast Guard Office of Investigations expressed his condolences at the hearing, saying, "There are no words to ease the loss endured by the families impacted by this tragic incident," but he hoped the hearing would "But we hope that this hearing will help shed light on the cause of the tragedy and prevent anything like this from happening again."

    Stockton Rush, a victim of the disaster, was a co-founder of OceanGate, the company that owned the Titan and has since halted its operations.

    OceanGate's ex-engineering director, Tony Nissen, revealed in Monday's testimony that working for Rush was challenging due to his intense focus on cost management.

    Titanic explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, along with British billionaire Hamish Harding, tragically lost their lives in the incident.

    Once concluded, the hearing will provide recommendations to the commandant of the Coast Guard.

    There is no mystery . This man wanted to make deep sea travel CHEAP but the two things do NOT go together. This vessel looked CHEAP compared to others in the field and that is congruent with his goal of saving money - it looked like a CAN!!
