The Titanic-visiting vehicle imploded 2 miles below sea level in June 2023 killing all five people on board. An investigation is ongoing.

In the end, the sheer recklessness of the Titan endeavor and the inevitability of its eventual collapse is well demonstrated by both of these documentaries. Stockton Rush is presented as a dangerous and delusional man who used the media, legal loopholes, and sheer intimidation to push his creation past the point of no return.

The company closed its main headquarters in Everett, Washington indefinitely after the implosion. However, OceanGate hasn’t actually been filed as bankrupt, and the dormant company technically still exists as a registered business.
