Stockton RushSubmersible pilot Randy Holt communicates with the support boat as he and Stockton Rush dive in the company's submersible. The loss of the submersible launched a search-and-rescue mission that had the Navy, Coast Guard, and even "Titanic" filmmaker James Cameron involved. The search lasted for five days until the Coast Guard announced on June 22 that the submersible had imploded 1,600 feet away from the Titanic shipwreck. The US Coast Guard has convened a Marine Board of Investigation to look into the cause of the implosion — the highest level of investigation by the organization, according to CNN. In emails between Rush and Stanley after the test, Stanley warned Rush of the dangers of being impatient.

The US Coast Guard has convened a Marine Board of Investigation to probe the implosion – the “highest level of investigation the Coast Guard conducts,” US Coast Guard chief investigator Capt. Military experts found debris from the ill-fated submersible about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic on Thursday, the US Coast Guard previously said. “This case has been extremely complex, involving a coordinated international, interagency and private sector response in an unforgiving and difficult to access region of the ocean,” US Coast Guard Rear Adm. John Mauger, the First Coast Guard District commander, said Sunday. The Coast Guard announced the vessel suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” killing everyone on board.

“The content of those voice recordings could be useful in our investigation,” Fox said. Communications between the submersible and its mother ship will also likely be scrutinized. The ship could communicate with the submersible by text messages, and it’s required to communicate every 15 minutes, according to the archived website of OceanGate Expeditions. The vehicles will work to map out the vessel’s debris field, which is more than 2 miles deep in the North Atlantic, Mauger said. When asked for comment about Stanley’s email, a spokesman for OceanGate told CNN they were unable to provide any additional information at this time.

☆ A friend said he warned Stockton Rush about possible defects on the Titan in 2019 after hearing 'cracking' noises

A friend of Stockton Rush told NewsNation he heard "cracking" sounds after a Titan trip in 2019. Karl Stanley emailed Rush to say that the noises "sounded like a flaw/defect," CNN reported. Rush told him to be prepared for the sounds, caused by the sub's carbon fiber, before his dive. A submersible expert and friend of OceanGate's founder Stockton Rush said he tried to warn him that Titan was flawed years ago. Karl Stanley told NewsNation he heard "cracking" sounds when he went on the Titan sub in April 2019.

The next day, Mr. Stanley wrote an email in which he detailed his concerns to Stockton Rush, the chief executive of OceanGate Expeditions, who was also on board the Titan for the dive, urging Mr. Rush to cancel the expeditions to the wreck of the Titanic that were planned for that summer. Would you consider taking dozens of other people to the Titanic before you truly knew the source of those sounds? Rush was piloting the Titan and was among the five people on board who were killed. The Titan’s final voyage would have been its 14th expedition to the Titanic’s wreckage.
