On June 18th, 2023, the underwater tourism company OceanGate launched its Titan submersible, which was heading down with five passengers - billionaire adventurer Hamish Harding, deep-sea explorer Paul-Henri Nargeolet, businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, and the CEO of OceanGate itself, Stockton Rush - to nearly 2.5 miles beneath the ocean's surface to visit the wreck of the legendary doomed ocean liner, Titanic.

None of them would make it back alive.

What has unfolded in the last year since the entire world waited with bated breath to see what happened to the Titan submersible is a story of hubris, particularly surrounding OceanGate's founder and the pilot of the sub, Stockton Rush. Descended from wealth and innovation, Rush believed that he knew better than just about anyone else in the deep-sea exploration industry when it came to the construction of submersibles...and would pay for that confidence with his life, along with those of 4 more innocent victims.

Why did the Titan implode? Was this loss of life simply a tragic accident, or an absolutely avoidable incident? Much information has come out in the last year to try and answer these questions, leading up to and including these most recent hearings - and Carrie takes us through it all to try and find some answers.
