A U.S. Coast Guard hearing investigating the implosion of the Titan submersible revealed one of the last messages sent by the crew to the support ship Polar Prince before the tragedy occurred. The hearing also heard testimony from former OceanGate engineer Tony Nissen, who claimed he refused to pilot the Titan years ago due to concerns about the operations crew.

Among those killed was Stockton Rush, co-founder of OceanGate. The company, based in Washington state, suspended its operations after the implosion. OceanGate’s former finance and human resources director, Bonnie Carl, testified Monday that Lochridge had characterized the Titan as “unsafe.” Lochridge is expected to provide more perspective on what caused the implosion.
One of the last messages from Titan’s crew to Polar Prince before the submersible imploded stated, “all good here,” according to a visual re-creation presented earlier in the hearing.
