The Titan Mystery

  • On June 18, a group of five people embarked on a daring descent into the depths of the Atlantic Ocean. The team included French Navy commander-turned-Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, billionaire British explorer Hamish Harding, billionaire Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son, Sulaiman, and Stockton, the CEO and founder of OceanGate Expeditions. Their mission was to explore the wreckage of the Titanic, which sank in 1912, utilizing the Titan submersible.
  • Tragically, after approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes into the underwater expedition, the submersible unexpectedly lost communication with its mother ship, the Polar Prince.
