The private American company OceanGate announced the suspension of all operations after the crash of the submersible "Titan" in the Atlantic. This is reported on her website.
The only sensible choice until they are sure all their equipment is up to code.
As reported by IA Regnum , microcracks that appeared from water pressure during regular diving could become the cause of the explosion of the bathyscaphe . This version of the death of a deep-sea submersible, which was heading for the wreckage of the sunken Titanic, was put forward by Jasper Graham-Jones, an associate professor at the University of Plymouth.

Bathyscaphe company OceanGate Expedition, designed to deliver tourists to the site of the sinking of the Titanic, disappeared on June 18 in the Atlantic Ocean. Communication with him was lost less than two hours after the dive. Five people were on board: OceanGate Expeditions founder (which owns the bathyscaphe) Stockton Rush , British billionaire Hamish Harding , Pakistani businessman and billionaire Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Suleiman , and French aquanaut Paul-Henri Narjolet .

Rush admitted on camera two years ago that he "broke some rules" while building the Titan.

The wreckage of the Titan was found a few days later during searches at a depth of 3,800 meters.

Tickets for expeditions to the site of the sinking of the Titanic, OceanGate Expeditions, despite the tragedy with the Titanic submersible, continued to sell. The schedule of tours for the next year is published on the company's website .

A letter from a Titanic passenger written on board the ship sold for $12,000 at an auction in Uruguay.
