DEADLY TITANIC DIVE

Not unlike the maiden voyage of the RMS Titanic in 1912, the excursion promised to be a once-in-a-lifetime thrill. OceanGate Expeditions cofounder and CEO Richard Stockton Rush III, 61, had invited passengers to experience the rarest of adventures: traveling down into the depths of the North Atlantic Ocean in the Titan, the 22-ft. submersible he built, to view the corroding grandeur of the ill-fated luxury liner in its watery grave. "Gliding over the Titanic, descending to the grand staircase and seeing a crystal chandelier still hanging is a thing of immense beauty and tragedy," says explorer Fred Hagen, a 2022 Titan passenger. "It takes your breath away."

On the morning of June 18, Rush was joined by Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, British Pakistani billionaire Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman, 19, and billionaire British explorer Hamish Harding, 58-who had each reportedly secured a $250,000 ticket-in the cramped capsule sealed from the outside with 18 bolts. Weighed down by sandbags and pipes, the Titan slid off an underwater platform and began its two-and-a-half-hour descent to the storied wreck. While seeing it close was "life-altering," says Hagen, "nobody in their right mind goes three miles deep in the ocean in an experimental vehicle without realizing that there's the risk of death."

GRIM NEWS After a massive search that was watched around the globe, the U.S. Coast Guard announced on June 22 that everyone on board had died when the Titan imploded.
