What began as Stockton Rush’s dream to explore the Titanic turned into a fatal mission, Netflix’s Titan: The OceanGate Disaster uncovers the events that led to the submersible’s tragic implosion
Truth is often stranger than fiction, and Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster proves it.
This new Netflix doc from Mark Monroe unpacks how one CEO’s relentless drive to explore the Titanic wreckage ended in a heartbreaking, and avoidable, tragedy.
About the tragedy
When the Titan sub vanished in the summer of 2023, it didn’t just become global news, it sparked a whirlwind of theories and mourning.
But the new Netflix doc isn’t here to retell what we already know. Instead, it asks the hard question: how did this happen when it never should have?
The point of failure
Well, this wasn’t an unpredictable accident. The documentary shows, through interviews, documents, and footage, that many warned against the Titan’s design.
CEO Stockton Rush’s risky choice of carbon fibre over titanium was at the heart of it all. Those who objected walked away. The mission moved forward, driven by unchecked ambition.
Final Verdict
Structured with a clear narrative voice, Titan: The OceanGate Disaster offers a firm examination of the warnings ignored before the fateful descent. However, it noticeably lacks depth in portraying the global outcry that followed.
What emerges is more than a tale of technological failure—it’s a scathing exposé on how unchecked ambition and privilege can override safety.
Stockton Rush’s ego-fueled decisions, enabled by systemic negligence, cost lives. It’s a chilling portrait of a truth we often overlook: power not only corrupts—it escapes consequences entirely.
