The five people on board the Titan vessel would have known their vessel was fatally damaged for at least one minute before its destruction, an expert has claimed.
The submersible, built and operated by OceanGate, imploded during its descent to explore the wreckage of the Titanic - claiming the lives of all on board, including three Britons. Submarine expert José Luis Martín has shed light on the possible sequence of events leading to the implosion.
According to Mirror Online, the Mr Martin believes that the Titan submersible fell vertically like an arrow, without any control, for at least 2,953 feet (900 meters). The passengers likely lost their balance during those final moments and may have fallen on top of each other. Martín compared the implosion to puncturing a balloon, suggesting that the submersible would have popped like a balloon due to the sudden increase in pressure.
