The Ocean Sciences Building at the University of Washington in Seattle houses the testing facility for the Cyclops 2 submersible developed by OceanGate. Despite a failed test in 2016 where the model imploded under pressure, the company went ahead with building a full-scale version named Titan. In 2021, Titan successfully reached the Titanic wreck at a depth of 3,800 meters in the Atlantic Ocean. However, tragedy struck in June 2023 when Titan imploded during another dive, resulting in the loss of all five crew members on board, including OceanGate's CEO Stockton Rush. This incident highlights the high stakes and risks involved in deep-sea exploration, as well as the unwavering determination of companies like OceanGate to push boundaries in underwater technology.
