The ill-fated Titan submarine imploded just hours after its ocean exploration, according to the Navy while the media only reported on it days later.
On Thursday, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed an underwater robot found a “debris field” in search for the OceanGate Titan submarine.
The submersible disappeared with five people on board, including OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and British billionaire Hamish Harding.
The OceanGate submarine has been the subject of much criticism since its disappearance, with some concerns about the vessel to use a PlayStation controller linked to the blue tooth to pilot the sub.
Pieces of the Titan submarine were found in a “debris field” near the Titanic after it reportedly imploded.
According to the U.S. Coast Guard, the debris field is consistent with a “catastrophic implosion.”
However, the Navy’s acoustic detection system picked up the implosion just hours after it the submarine’s descent, but the U.S. Coast Guard didn’t release the information until Thursday.
Why was this?
Was there something else in the news cycle they wanted to overshadow?
The Navy knew the Titan submarine had imploded, so why wasn’t this information released to the public?
The Wall Street Journal reported:
“Officials involved in the search said a top secret military acoustic detection system designed to spot enemy submarines first heard what the U.S. Navy suspected was the Titan submersible implosion hours after the vehicle began its mission.
According to a U.S. defense official, the Navy began listening for the Titan almost as soon as the sub lost communications.
Shortly after the submersible’s disappearance Sunday, the U.S. system detected what it suspected was the sound of an implosion near the debris site discovered Thursday and reported its findings to the commander on site, U.S. defense officials said.”
“The U.S. Navy conducted an analysis of acoustic data and detected an anomaly consistent with an implosion or explosion in the general vicinity of where the Titan submersible was operating when communications were lost,” a senior U.S. Navy official told The Wall Street Journal in a statement.
“While not definitive, this information was immediately shared with the Incident Commander to assist with the ongoing search and rescue mission.”
Some Twitter users were also baffled as to why the media had not reported on the disadter while allowing the story to drag out.
Conservative Twitter account, End Wokeness, tweeted:
“Sunday: US Navy detects implosion of the Titan, doesn’t inform public
Monday: “TITAN IS MISSING!!”
Tuesday: “BANGING IS HEARD!!”
Wednesday: “RUNNING OUT OF AIR!!”
Thursday: “WRECKAGE FOUND!!”
They knew the outcome 4 days ago, yet they kept the drama going for the entire week”
Another Twitter user wrote this along with a video:
“US Navy knew the Titan was destroyed since last Sunday.. but let the story clog news feed all week taking away from..”

Those who died on the submarine were confirmed as:

- Aviation company owner Hamish Hardin
OceanGate said in a statement:
“We now believe that our CEO Stockton Rush, Shahzada Dawood and his son Suleman Dawood, Hamish Harding, and Paul-Henri Nargeolet, have sadly been lost.”
‘These men were true explorers who shared a distinct spirit of adventure and a deep passion for exploring and protecting the world’s oceans.
“Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time. We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.
This is an extremely sad time for our dedicated employees, who are exhausted and grieving deeply over this loss.
The entire OceanGate family is deeply grateful for the countless men and women from multiple organizations of the international community who expedited wide-ranging resources and have worked so very hard on this mission.”
