CNN did not publish an article saying that OceanGate’s Titan submersible vehicle that went missing on June 18, 2023 was recovered empty, a spokesperson for the U.S.-based media company said.
A screenshot of the CNN headline claiming the sub was recovered after three days is fake, the CNN spokesperson said.
CNN spokesperson Emily Kuhn said in a June 22 email: “This a fabricated image and not something CNN reported.”The photo attached to the fake report also does not show the missing Titan, but a different submersible called the Cyclops 1 (here).
The search for the missing Titan sub in the North Atlantic has expanded and entered a fifth day on June 22 with only hours of the vehicle’s presumed air supply remaining, Reuters reported (here).
CNN did not publish a June 21 news report claiming that the missing Titan submersible had been discovered empty.
