Titan's “5 passengers realized what was happening a minute before the submarine exploded”

Spanish expert Jose Luis Martín said the OceanGate submarine lost its stability due to an electrical defect that left it without a driving system, causing it to sink into the bottom of the ocean “as an arrow”.

He also estimated that when the submarine was in a depth of about 1,600-700m, it began to sink “like a stone and without any control of” for about 2,500 meters, as much as 3,500km “exploded as a balloon” due to ocean pressure.

Martin estimated that the five passengers spent terrible moments in total darkness and gathered on each other throughout the fall, which lasted between 48 and 71 seconds.

Submarine “Titan” lost contact with its mother ship on Sunday, June 18, during the descent into the ruins of Titanic and a few days later, following a major operation involving, among other things, ships from Canada and France, ruins were found.

When the submarine reached 1700m, it suffered an electrical damage. There's no engine, no pressure system. It was then that he lost contact with Prince Poplar”, the Spanish expert noted, leading to the hypothesis that the lack of motivation caused it to lose stability and start to jump rapidly toward the end. “Titani changed position and began falling vertically down, like an arrow, because of the weight of passengers”, Martin added.

Imagine the horror, fear and anxiety. Must have been like a horror movie. Because of the depth and lack of natural light and electricity, the group has remained in total darkness as it sank at the bottom of the Atlantic. At this time they understood everything. It's hard to understand what they've been through right now. After about 48 seconds, or a minute, collapsed and died”, he said.

It is noted that the submarine lost contact with the mother ship (Prince Popar) about 105 minutes after diving and about 400 miles off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the deaths of the victims four days later, while investigations into the submarine collapse are under way. /abcnews. al
