Yahoo Lifestyle Eerie Audio of “Titan” Sub Implosion Believed to Be Caught on Recording: Coast Guard Releases New Clip from Investigation
Investigators have released a clip they think shows the final moments of the doomed vessel
A newly released audio recording is believed to have captured the very final moments of the doomed Titan submersible when it imploded deep in the Atlantic Ocean in 2023.
The U.S. Coast Guard shared the roughly 20-second clip on Friday, Feb. 7, as part of its ongoing investigation into what happened to the Titan.
The recording includes an ominous whooshing noise — apparently the traces of the Titan’s catastrophic destruction, which killed all five people onboard during a dive to the wreckage of the Titanic off the coast of Canada.

The Coast Guard said the audio, captured about 900 miles from the sub by a National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration device, records the “suspected acoustic signature” of the implosion on June 18, 2023.
In the days of initial searching after the Titan was lost, headlines swirled about sounds of banging nearby, which might indicate the four passengers and pilot were somehow still alive, miles underwater.
A documentary later featured audio of supposed knocking heard in the area of the sub, though the Coast Guard has stressed that any such noises had to be unrelated to the Titan since it imploded during its dive.
Last year, the Coast Guard convened a multi-day investigative hearing into what went wrong.
Among the new details were the final messages sent by the Titan’s crew and passengers as well as photos from the debris discovered afterward.
The five victims included adventurers Hamish Hardin and Paul-Henri Nargeolet; father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood; and pilot Stockton Rush, who co-founded OceanGate, the company operating the Titan.
The Coast Guard is expected to submit a final report about the tragedy in the future.
