US Coast Guard Starts Hearing Into Failings Of Titan Submersible

The US Coast Guard has started a hearing into the failings of the Titan submersible, which was involved in a fatal accident in 2019.

The hearing is expected to last several days and will examine the cause of the accident, which killed three people.

The Coast Guard is investigating whether the Titan was properly maintained and operated, and whether the crew was properly trained. The hearing is also expected to examine the design of the Titan and whether it met safety standards.

The Titan was a privately-owned submersible that was used for deep-sea exploration. The accident occurred in July 2019, when the Titan was exploring the wreck of the USS Scorpion, a nuclear submarine that sank in 1968.

The Titan was carrying three people at the time of the accident: the pilot, the co-pilot, and a scientist. The pilot and co-pilot were killed in the accident, and the scientist was seriously injured.

The Coast Guard is expected to release a report on its findings after the hearing is completed. The report is expected to make recommendations on how to prevent similar accidents in the future.
