I covered the Titan submersible years prior to its implosion, interviewing Rush multiple times before the disaster, and I also contributed to Outside’s coverage when the sub went missing. So I watched the film with a careful eye, curious if it would shed new light on the incident.
The film examines efforts Rush put toward silencing his critics. It also reveals how clear it was for years that the sub was never capable of repeatedly making safe trips to the Titanic, and Rush’s determination to ignore all warnings. Jaw-dropping footage and interviews shows he was willing to risk lives, including his own, in service of making OceanGate the Space X of the sea.
Released nearly two years to the day after Titan went missing, this documentary unveils shocking decisions that led to the ill-fated journey, a disaster that continues to captivate the world years after the fact.
