OceanGate Expeditions' lost contact with its sub Sunday en route to the wreckage of the Titanic. OceanGate invited a federal judge who has overseen access to the wreckage on the trip; she declined. The judge, Rebecca Beach Smith, has supervised the famous wreck since 2002 from her seat on the U.S. District Court in Norfolk, Virginia. In April, a consultant for OceanGate Expeditions notified her of the company's intent to "undertake a series of photographic and scientific survey expeditions at the wreck site of the R.M.S. "I thank you for the invitation to participate in the 2023 Titanic Survey Expedition, and perhaps, if another expedition occurs in the future, I will be able to do so," she wrote.

“The submersible industry had significant concerns over the strategy of building a deep sea expedition submersible without following existing classification safety guidelines,” Mr. Kohnen said. OceanGate said in the post that because its Titan craft was so innovative, it could take years to get it certified by leading assessment agencies. “Bringing an outside entity up to speed on every innovation before it is put into real-world testing is anathema to rapid innovation,” the company wrote. The submersible sustained modest damage to its exterior, he wrote, leading OceanGate to cancel the mission so it could make repairs. Still, Mr. Concannon wrote in the filing, 28 individuals had been able to visit the Titanic wreckage on the craft in 2022.
