The last words of the Titan submersible crew, prior to its implosion, have been released in a hearing about the incident.
The hearing is being held by the US coastal guard, and is investigating the incident that led to the death of the five passengers of the vessel.
On board the submersible were Oceangate’s CEO Stockton Rush, the British explorer Hamish Harding, British-Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, his son Suleman, and veteran French diver Paul Henri Naurgeolet.
The five were taking a trip in the Oceangate vehicle to descend 12,500 feet to look at the wreckage of the Titanic on the ocean floor.

The hearing, investigating the negligence of Oceangate in the incident, and possible failings in the resulting search.
One resulting factor of this was finding out the final words transmitted from the crew prior to its implosion.
It has been confirmed that the last words heard from the crew were ‘all good’.
More to come.
