  • Netflix's new documentary, Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster, explores the events leading up to the fatal implosion of the Titan submersible in June 2023, which killed five people.
  • The documentary has become Netflix's most-streamed title, focusing on OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and the concerns raised about the vessel's safety.
  • A key scene shows Rush dismissing safety concerns, telling passengers, "if you hear an alarm, don't worry about it," which viewers found disturbing.
  • The documentary reveals Rush proceeded with the expedition without third-party classification and includes former marine operations director David Lochridge's concerns about the carbon fibre hull.
  • The Titan suffered a "catastrophic explosion" during its expedition to view the Titanic wreck, killing Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and Stockton Rush.
