Canada’s independent accident investigator, the TSB, is in the headlines for a damning 2023 underwater catastrophe report citing design flaws and regulatory lapses.
Canada’s Transportation Safety Board has released a 136-page report detailing critical design flaws and unsafe practices in OceanGate’s Titan submersible, citing “groupthink” and “confirmation bias.” The inquiry echoes prior U.S. investigations and confirms that the craft’s carbon-fibre hull could not withstand repeated deep dives. Five people died in the 2023 catastrophe near the Titanic wreck.
