Two weeks of public testimony concluded Friday in the U.S. Coast Guard’s investigation to establish what caused the Titan submersible to implode during a deep ocean dive last year, killing all five on board.

A Coast Guard official testified Friday that he was surprised to learn at the hearing that the crew of the Polar Prince support vessel, in hindsight, felt a slight shudder around the time the Titan submersible imploded.

Representatives for NASA, Boeing Co. and the U.S. Coast Guard are slated to testify in front of investigators Thursday about the experimental submersible that imploded en route to the wreckage of the Titanic.

A key employee with the company that owned the experimental submersible that imploded en route to the wreckage of the Titanic pushed back at a question from a Coast Guard investigator about whether OceanGate felt a sense of “desperation” to complete the dives because of the high price tag.

During the submersible’s final dive on June 18, 2023, the crew lost contact after an exchange of texts about Titan’s depth and weight as it descended.

A paid passenger on an expedition to the Titanic with the company that owned the Titan submersible testified before a U.S. Coast Guard investigatory panel Friday that the mission he took part in was aborted due to an apparent mechanical failure.

Steven Ross told the board about a platform issue the experimental submersible experienced in June 2023, just days before it imploded on its way to the Titanic site.

He is one of the most anticipated witnesses to appear before a commission trying to determine what caused the Titan to implode en route to the wreckage of the Titanic last year.

An animation was created showing the path and communications of the Titan submersible during a hearing held by the U.S. Coast Guard Board of Investigation. The Titan was on a path to explore the wreckage of the Titanic on the ocean floor when it imploded.

The Titan imploded on June 18, 2023, setting off a worldwide debate about the future of private undersea exploration.

The location of a bronze statue not seen in decades is among the discoveries made by the company that owns the salvage rights to the Titanic during its first expedition to the site in years.

The family of a French explorer who died in a submersible implosion have filed a wrongful death lawsuit seeking more than $50 million that accuses the sub’s operator of gross negligence.

Unanswered questions linger a year after the implosion of the Titan submersible during its deep-sea voyage to the wreckage of the Titanic.

The deadly implosion of an experimental submersible en route to the deep-sea grave of the Titanic last June has not dulled the desire for ocean exploration.

A team of New England Aquarium researchers caught a series of beautiful photos of whales swimming in sync off the coast of Massachusetts this week.

A man from Long Island is recovering from hypothermia after treading water for about five hours in the Atlantic Ocean on Monday. Police in Suffolk County said a 63-year-old from Copiague went for a swim at Cedar Beach in Babylon around 5 a.m. When he went out into the open water, police said, he was pulled out by the current….

Contamination concerns caused more than a dozen beaches at the Jersey Shore to take precautions during the busy summer season. The advisories were issued after earlier water samples revealed high levels of fecal bacteria in the ocean. The advisories have since been lifted after resampling shows the water quality is safe. NBC10’s Ted Greenberg explains the process in place to...

People looking to cool off on a hot summer day at the Jersey Shore can swim worry free after being made aware of high levels of fecal matter in the water.

NBC10’s Randy Gyllenhaal is in Atlantic City as a beach in that Jersey Shore town and other Garden State resorts are under an advisory over fecal bacteria levels in the ocean water.

In recent days, the massive hunt for a submersible vehicle lost during a north Atlantic descent to explore the wreckage of the Titanic has refocused attention on the conundrum: Who should pay for the sweeping search?
