It was learned that Titan's last expedition before that was quite risky. On this expedition last year, Titan had to withstand pressures about 4,000 meters below sea level, while losing contact with the surface for three hours.
CBS reporter David Pogue was also on that expedition. "You may remember that the submarine bound for the Titanic disappeared for a few hours while I was on board LAST summer," the journalist wrote on Twitter. It is known that OceanGate's diving operations actually use Elon Musk's Starlink satellite technology.
