Titan sub's final moments before implosion revealed in new audio
An eerie new audio has captured the moment the doomed Titan submersible imploded in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, killing all five of people onboard.
The sound was picked up from a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration device - roughly 900 miles from where the sub vanished in the south of Newfoundland in June 2023. US Coast Guard officials shared the clip on Friday, with the ominous noise described as the "suspected acoustic signature" of the vessel's implosion on June 18, 2023.
All five people onboard the vessel were killed, including British businessman Hamish Harding, 58, former French navy diver Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, Pakistani entrepreneur and philanthropist Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman, 19, and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rushton, 61.
It is the latest piece of evidence to surface following an inquiry investigating whether the tragedy could have been prevented.

An international manhunt was launched to trace the vessel, which had already reached depths of 12,400ft beneath the North Atlantic ocean - more than twice as deep as the Grand Canyon. The Coast Guard said at the time that passengers had between 70 and 96 hours left before they would run out of oxygen.
A haunting banging noise believed to have come from the vessel gave a glimmer of hope to the families of those onboard, but these noises were ultimately inconclusive and could have been caused by debris from either the Titanic wreck or the Titan itself.
Eventually, the submersible's wreckage was found on the ocean floor around 330 yards from the bow of the Titanic, with the Coast Guard confirming all five people onboard were killed. The tragedy sparked questions on the safety of the submersible, which had been making trips to the Titanic wreckage since 2021. It later emerged that the sub was being operated by a cheap video game controller available on Amazon for just £42.
Deep-sea exploration experts had previously warned OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush that his "experimental" methods lead to a "catastrophic" disaster.

The disaster revealed concerning details about the sub's history, including multiple equipment issues, a lack of third-party hull reviews, and a potential design flaw with its carbon fiber construction, which may have contributed to the fatal implosion. The inquiry also highlighted testimony from a former employee who raised concerns about the sub's safety before the tragedy.
Karl Stanley, a submersible pilot and designer of the Roatan Institute of Deepsea Exploration, claimed Rush was more concerned with leaving "his mark on history" than safety. Stanley testified: "He knew that eventually it was going to end like this, and he wasn't going to be held accountable, but he was going to be the most famous of all his famous relatives."
Stanley, who emailed Rush to flag safety concerns, including cracking noises, but was dismissed, added: "I felt also, this exchange of emails strained our relationship from what it had been previously. I felt like I pushed things as far as I could without him telling me to shut up and never talk to him again.
"There was nothing unexpected about this. This was expected by everyone who had access to a little bit of information," Stanley added. "And I think that if it wasn't an accident, it then has to be some degree of crime. And if it's a crime, I think to truly understand it, you need to understand the criminal's motive. The entire reason this whole operation started was Stockton had a desire to leave his mark on history."

She later broke down in tears whilst detailing the tragedy, adding: "I had the privilege of knowing the explorers lives who were lost, and there's not a day that passes that I don't think of them, their families and the loss."
OceanGate, based in Washington state, US, has suspended all operations after the 2023 implosion.
