Netflix has dropped the first trailer for the new Titan sub documentary titled Titan: The OceanGate Disaster
In June 2023, OceanGate's Titan submersible dominated headlines after the once-in-a-lifetime voyage to the darkest depths of the Atlantic Ocean turned to disaster.
The 21-foot sub and its five explorers onboard were planning on visiting the Titanic wreckage, some 12,500 feet below surface, off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
However, just one hour and 45 minutes into its descent and the US coastguard lost all contact with the crew and passengers.

And now, a new documentary detailing the horrible event is set to release on Netflix next month, as a new trailer released by the streaming platform features some rare footage.
Take a look below:
The authorities confirmed the Titan was destroyed by a 'catastrophic implosion' due to intense water pressure and failed materials, which instantly killed all of its passengers.
Authorities later identified the victims as OceanGate's CEO, Stockton Rush, 61, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, 77, a deep-sea explorer from France, Hamish Harding, 58, a British businessman, Shahzada Dawood, 48, a Pakistani-British businessman and his 19-year-old son, Suleman.
The synopsis of the documentary reads: "This new documentary examines OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, his quest to become the next billionaire innovator, and the doomed underwater endeavor that forced the world to reconsider the price of ambition in the depths of the ocean."
