What details have been released in the Titan submersible implosion?
What details have been released in the Titan submersible implosion? Show Caption Hide Caption What is a catastrophic implosion? What we know about Titan submersible Officials believe a "catastrophic implosion" killed the five people in a missing Titanic submersible. Here's what that means. Just the FAQs, USA TODAY Two years after its tragic end that captured the attention of the nation and the world, details continue to emerge about the OceanGate Titan submersible and its final mission. In June 2023, five people hoping to catch an up-close and personal glimpse of the Titanic shipwreck descended in a 22-foot-long, 25,000-pound submersible made of titanium and carbon fiber. The craft was designed to dive up to 13,123 feet, according to OceanGate, meaning it should have been capable of safely reaching the wreckage site 12,500 feet below the surface. About 1 hour and 45 minutes into the dive, however, contact with Titan was lost, sparking a multi-day search and rescue mission that culminated in the discovery of debris scattered about 1,600 feet from the bow of the Titanic. In the years since, ongoing investigations have unveiled new pieces of evidence, including audio and video of Titan's fateful final moments. What happened to the OceanGate Titan submersible? On June 18, 2023, OceanGate submerged its tourist submersible, Titan, in the North Atlantic Ocean on a voyage to explore the Titanic wreckage. The submersible is believed to have imploded about 1 hour and 45 minutes after its trip began, resulting in the deaths of its five passengers. Wreckage of the vessel was later found scattered across the ocean floor, 330 yards away from the bow of the Titanic, the infamous liner that sank in 1912. The U.S. Coast Guard is continuing to investigate what caused the implosion. What caused the implosion? The U.S. Coast Guard is still investigating the accident to formally determine the cause of the Titan's implosion. In the years following the disaster, however, details about the submersible's handling have captured national attention. A series of hearings held by the Coast Guard last year brought many pieces of evidence and testimony to light, from claims that Titan was being navigated using an altered gaming controller to testimony about warnings OceanGate was reportedly given about the quality and safety of the submersible before its final descent. Public consensus thus far has primarily placed blame on the experimental design of the craft, which was ultimately unable to withstand the extreme pressures of its deep-sea dive. The state of the discovered debris was "consistent with catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber," Rear Admiral John Mauger of the U.S. Coast Guard said in the days after the accident. Who died in the OceanGate Titan submersible disaster? OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush, 61, was piloting the Titan submersible at the time of the disaster. He oversaw financial and engineering strategies at the company and left behind a wife and two adult children. Hamish Harding, 58, was a British billionaire explorer who was chairman of Action Aviation, a global sales company in business aviation. He is survived by his wife and four children. A look at the victims: Who died in the OceanGate Titan submersible disaster? Paul-Henry Nargeolet, 77, was a French Navy veteran, maritime and Titanic expert and director of Underwater Research for E/M Group and RMS Titanic, Inc. He is survived by his wife, three children, stepson and grandchildren. Shahzada Dawood, 48, hailed from one of Pakistan's wealthiest families and served on the board of trustees for the Dawood Foundation, an education nonprofit based in Pakistan. Dawood is survived by a wife and daughter. Shahzada Dawood's son, Suleman Dawood, 19, was a business student at the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow and had planned to join his father in working for Engro after graduating from college. Newly released footage captured moment of implosion In the wake of the Coast Gaurd hearings, a lawsuit filed by the family of one of the victims and the release of two documentaries, the BBC's "Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster" and Netflix's "Titan: The OceanGate Disaster," additional, sometimes sordid details, have emerged in the two years since the accident. Recently, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Coast Guard released a 23-second-long clip in February that reportedly captured the moment of implosion. Officials called the static, followed by a boom and then silence, the "suspected acoustic signature" of the implosion. Listen: New audio of Titan submersible moments before implosion The Coast Guard has released new audio of Titan submersible's final moments before implosion. The sounds were recorded by a monitor moored approximately 900 miles from the Titan's implosion site, according to the U.S. Coast Guard. Additional footage provided to the Coast Guard by OceanGate showed the moment from the perspective of the submersible's tracking and communications team, which included Wendy Rush, CEO Stockton Rush's wife. In the clip, the team is seen monitoring data and text communications. With about 400 meters to go, a muffled thump can be heard from the Titan, prompting Rush to ask, "What was that bang?" Newly released footage captures sound of Titan submersible imploding Newly released video appeared to capture the sound of the Titan submersible imploding on its way to visit the Titanic wreck in June 2023. That sound, the Coast Guard said, "later correlated with the loss of communication and tracking," and "is believed to be the sound of the Titan's implosion reaching the surface of the ocean." The Coast Guard has yet to release the findings of its investigation. However, the hearings revealed the eerie final messages sent from the crew before it was crushed by the pressure of the ocean: "All good here." Contributing: Saman Shafiq, Elizabeth Weise, USA TODAY

Grand Re-opening of Salvation Army's Jackson & Willan Place
From history to hope: 2 cottages, 20 units, and 1 powerful step toward ending homelessness for women in Calgary. The Salvation Army Reopens Renovated Spaces for New Transitional Housing Program for Women CALGARY, AB, June 18, 2025 /CNW/ - The Salvation Army is proud to announce the reopening of Jackson Place and Willan Place at its West Campus location in Calgary, now fully renovated to host a new Transitional Housing Program for Women. This program provides a safe and supportive environment for women experiencing homelessness, including survivors of human trafficking as they work towards stability, independence, and long-term success. A Legacy of Compassion and Support Originally constructed in 1988, Jackson Place and Willan Place have long served the community first supporting children's programs, then seniors. Each building now offers 10 individual beds, continuing a legacy of service and compassion. Their transformation reflects The Salvation Army's commitment to adapt and respond to the evolving needs of vulnerable populations. Comprehensive Support Services Here in Calgary Residents of the Transitional Housing Program will benefit from an integrated model of support, including: Private rooms with an occupancy fee of $500 per month Daily supper, with additional meals available at a low cost Access to gymnasium, free Wi-Fi, laundry, and communal areas Support with goal setting, job searches, housing applications, and resume building Access to chaplaincy and spiritual care Onsite counseling to assist with trauma, addiction, or life transitions A Safe and Respectful Community The Salvation Army maintains a focus on dignity, respect, and community. "Every moment spent planning and renovating has been worth it. Seeing women move into their rooms, hearing them say they've had the best sleep in years, or simply finding out that someone felt special because they could sit on a bench in a private shower and wash their feet, those are the moments that matter. This journey has always been about creating a space that offers dignity, comfort, and safety because these women deserve it." Cliff Wiebe, Executive Director "Organizations like The Salvation Army are invaluable partners as we work to tackle the housing crisis and ensure that every Canadian has a safe place to call their own. I am proud that we could support these new homes in Calgary, and I wish the families the very best as they start their new chapters."

Historic Matching Gift Will Support Fundraising for a New Canadian D-Day Monument on Juno Beach and Usher in a New Era for Canada's Second World War Legacy
TORONTO, June 18, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Juno Beach Centre Association (JBCA) is proud to announce a historic opportunity for Canadians to help shape the future of remembrance. Thanks to the generous support of Canso Investment Counsel Ltd. and Lysander Funds Ltd., the next $1 million raised for the JBCA's $12.5 million Capital Campaign will be matched dollar for dollar — supporting the creation of a Canadian D-Day Monument and investing in the Juno Beach Centre's bold new vision. In 2022, Canadians, outraged at the condominium development on Juno Beach, helped us win an important victory by speaking out against the enormous insult to the memory of our soldiers. This victory now makes it possible that a monument dedicated to all Canadians who lost their lives on D-Day be established on that former battlefield. The future Canadian D-Day Monument will be the first of its kind: a permanent tribute on Juno Beach featuring the names of all 381 Canadian soldiers and aircrew who were killed on June 6, 1944 during the Allied invasion of Normandy. While Canada has commemorated D-Day in many ways, there is currently no single monument on Juno Beach listing all their names, a void this new initiative will fill. 'Three years ago, thousands of Canadians stepped up to help us preserve the Juno Beach Centre and the sanctity of Juno Beach from a condo development. Now, at a time when Canadian patriotism is at a peak, we call upon Canadians to support the creation of a monument to permanently honour the nearly 400 Canadians who fell in the spearhead that eventually defeated Nazi Germany and restored freedom to millions,' said Alex Fitzgerald-Black, Executive Director of the Juno Beach Centre Association. The monument is the centrepiece of a renewed commitment to stewardship of heritage lands, as the Juno Beach Centre evolves into a living memorial that reflects not only Canada's past, but its duty to future generations. The Centre's Capital Campaign supports three pillars: Preserving and stewarding sacred ground Leading in sustainability and visitor experience Inspiring through education and remembrance The matching campaign was launched during JBCA's June 6th 'Honour the Past – Protect the Future' event in Toronto, featuring keynote historian Marc Milner, moderation by J'Lyn Nye, RCAF Honorary Colonel, and two living Second World War veterans — Major Jim Parks and Private William Seifried — who served as living reminders of the stories we must preserve. The event also celebrated a $100,000 launch gift from the Arthur J.E. Child Foundation, the first major contribution toward the matched funds. QUOTES The $1 million matching gift from our partners at Canso and Lysander in support of the new D-Day monument is more than a donation, it's a transformational investment in the future of the Juno Beach Centre. With a strong start from the Arthur J.E. Child Foundation, this campaign is gaining real momentum. These generous commitments remind us that remembrance is a shared responsibility. With the match in place, there has never been a more impactful time to support Canada's museum on the D-Day landing beaches.—Chris LaBossiere, President, Juno Beach Centre Association We are proud to support the Juno Beach Centre in preserving Canada's legacy of service and sacrifice. This matching gift is our way of honouring the past while inspiring future generations to remember the values our Veterans fought for.—Canso Investment Counsel Ltd. and Lysander Funds Ltd.
