The Coast Guard hearings into the OceanGate disaster are done. Next comes the full report—and any potential criminal investigations.
They described the Coast Guard’s response after the Titan went missing on a dive to the Titanic wreck on Sunday, June 18, 2023. This was the Coast Guard’s first subsurface search-and-rescue operation for at least 30 years, said Frederick, and “if OceanGate had a rescue plan, it was never presented to us.” The Coast Guard was nevertheless able to quickly mobilize flights over the Titanic area, with some aircraft deploying sonar buoys, which detected knocking noises underwater.
“Instantaneous delamination and collapse can occur in less than a millisecond,” testified Roy Thomas from the American Bureau of Shipping. “Real-time monitoring could not capture this.” Donald Kramer, a materials engineer at the National Transportation Safety Board , testified to there being manufacturing defects in the composite hull.
