Five theories explaining why the Titan submersible imploded could shed light on the mysterious incident that resulted in the tragic loss of four men and a teenager during the Titanic expedition
The tragic loss of five people in the submersible implosion during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic has left investigators closely inspecting the surfaced debris of the Titan, in search of answers.
In the meantime, several experts have put forward various theories to explain the devastating incident, each offering their insights into the possible causes.
Among the proposed explanations are an electrical failure that led to a loss of propulsion and stability, a failure of the hatch bolts or a fractured pressure hull, instability causing disturbance to the pressure hull, the submersible becoming stuck or tangled in the wreckage, and the occurrence of a fire onboard due to an electrical short circuit.
As investigators piece together the evidence, the quest to unravel the truth behind this heartbreaking tragedy continues.
