The OceanGate Titan was on a journey to the wreckage of the Titanic, off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada, when it lost communication with its mother ship, Polar Prince, less than two hours into its descent on Sunday, June 18. A huge search effort was launched, with multiple agencies from across the world collaborating in an attempt to find the missing sub and its five passengers. However, the Coast Guard later confirmed that the sub had suffered a catastrophic implosion, instantly killing those on board. Among the passengers on the sub was OceanGate's CEO, Stockton Rush, who was piloting the sub's journey 12,500 feet below the ocean's surface. Now, the company seems to be trying to erase itself from the internet. As of Friday morning, July 14, OceanGate's website went dark. Visitors to the site are now met with a black screen bearing the company's logo and a short message. "OceanGate Expeditions has suspended all exploration and commercial operations." It's unclear exactly when the website was updated to remove content about its eight-day submersible trips to the historic wreckage. But the company didn't stop there, their social media sites were also unavailable to the public on Friday. Attempts to locate the company's Facebook page are met with a message saying "This content isn't available at the moment." On Twitter, "This account doesn't exist". And on Instagram, "Sorry, this page isn't available." Prior to the shutting down of OceanGate's website, visitors were able to navigate through and learn more about the Titanic Expedition which cost $250,000. Th){kind=link}
