A US Coast Guard inquiry is investigating the deadly implosion of a submersible vessel that occurred on a voyage to the Titanic wreck site in June last year. The submersible, operated by OceanGate, imploded resulting in the deaths of five people. According to testimony, the crew reported being "all good here" just before the incident, indicating a sudden and unexpected malfunction. The inquiry is hearing evidence over two weeks, with OceanGate co-founder Stockton Rush among those testifying.
