The head of the company that built the doomed Titan submersible joked "what could go wrong" just weeks before a descent that ended with the deaths of all five crew members. Stockton Rush, whose OceanGate company built the Titan submersible that suffered a "catastrophic implosion" last June, made the quip on a Canadian radio show a few weeks earlier.It emerged after the disaster that several experts had made safety warnings about the Titan's deep-seaworthiness.
The disappearance of the sub, which was heading to the Titanic, on June 18 sparked a huge rescue effort, and at one point banging sounds were heard by the people hunting for the sub - sparking faint hopes that the passengers could be saved. Investigators believe the Titan imploded as it made its descent into the deep North Atlantic waters.The banging noises, which came at 30-minute intervals, were picked up on sonar by a Canadian aircraft in the Atlantic.
