Expert who traveled on the Titan submarine in 2019 says he heard popping noises during every dive

Submersible expert Karl Stanley said in an interview with New York Timesthat during an expedition aboard the submarine Titan off the coast of the Bahamas, in April 2019, he knew that something was wrong when he heard a popping noise, which only intensified over the two hours of diving.

The next day, Stanley wrote an email to Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate – the company responsible for the Titan, which imploded last month, killing all five passengers on board, including Rush – asking him to reconsider planned expeditions to the Titanic. that year.

“A helpful thought exercise would be to imagine removing the variables from the investors, the scientists eager for the mission, your team hungry for success, the press releases that already announced this summer’s dive schedule. Imagine this project was self-funded and on its own schedule. Would you consider taking dozens of people to the Titanic before really knowing the origin of these sounds?” Stanley wrote, according to a copy of the email obtained by the New York Times.
