The diving tour company, OceanGate, charged $250,000 per passenger for the trip to the historic Titanic site. However, court records show that the company had mechanical issues that caused previous trips to be cancelled or delayed.
David Lochridge, who worked as an independent contractor for OceanGate in 2015 and as an employee from 2016 to 2018, expressed concerns about the Titan’s hull.

Experts claim that travelling to the depths of the ocean is more difficult than going to space. Only three people have spent around three hours exploring the Challenger Deep, the deepest known point of the Earth’s seabed. This is due to the immense pressure that intensifies as you go deeper, making it a highly risky undertaking.
