“As it fell to the depths of the ocean, the hull would have been subjected to a sudden increase in underwater pressure” - leading to a “powerful compression” of the sub’s carbon-fiber hull at a depth of around 9,000 feet, he continued. It’s difficult to get an idea of what they experienced in those moments,” Martín wrote. “In that period of time, they are realizing everything.

It had to be like a horror movie,” added the expert, who believes that everything happened during 48 to 71 seconds of free fall.ĭuring that time, the group was aware of the seriousness of the situation, he said. Imagine the horror, the fear, and the agony. “Everyone rushes and crowds on top of each other. “The Titan changes position and falls like an arrow vertically because the 400 kilos (880 pounds) of passengers that were at the porthole unbalance the submersible,” he wrote. AP The submersible imploded about an hour and 45 minutes into its dive into the Titanic shipwreck. José Luis Martín said the Titan’s malfunction occurred at a depth of about 5,500 feet and that it imploded at around 9,000 feet after a terrifying plunge.
“The pilot (OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush) couldn’t activate the emergency lever to drop weights (and return to the surface),” the expert said, adding that the lever was an inadequate device for such an emergency. “At this point, the submersible begins to fall headlong towards the seafloor, and with control and safety functions damaged, it can no longer be maneuvered,” Martín theorized in his report. He said he believes the deadly malfunction occurred at a depth of about 5,500 feet.

José Luis Martín, a Spanish engineer and underwater expert, wrote in a new report that the five people aboard the doomed OceanGate submersible were probably aware of the impending implosion 48 to 71 seconds before it occurred. “Without thrust, the weight of the passengers and the pilot (about 400 kilograms), which was focused on the front end close to the view port, would have disrupted the Titan’s longitudinal stability,” Martín explained. “During the controlled immersion of the Titan, there must have been an electrical fault, which left the craft without thrust,” he told the Spanish news outlet NIUS, according to the English language Diario AS. Spanish engineer and underwater expert José Luis Martín offered a timeline for the doomed Titan’s final moments before it was destroyed June 18 - less than two hours into its dive to the Titanic shipwreck. The five people who perished aboard the OceanGate submersible were likely aware of the impending implosion between 48 and 71 seconds before it occurred, according to an expert who likened the scenario to a “horror movie.” OceanGate co-founder believes James Cameron ‘knows nothing’ about doomed sub I’m a tourist submarine pilot - sinking to the ocean floor 6 times a day is just a part of my job OceanGate co-founder wants to send 1K people to a floating colony on Venus by 2050
