US Coast Guard releases clip that ‘records the suspected acoustic signature’ of 2023 wreck that left five dead

The US government has released a new audio recording that appears to capture the moment the Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean in 2023, resulting in the deaths of all five people on board as it was heading to view the wreck of the Titanic.

A device called a passive acoustic recorder from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, located about 900 miles (1,448km) from the site of the implosion, picked up the sound, according to US Coast Guard officials.
