Welcome back to Season 2 of Deadly Serious! In our first episode back, we're diving into one of the most shocking disasters in recent history: the implosion of the Titan submersible.

In June 2023, five people boarded a deep-sea submersible to visit the wreck of the Titanic. Less than two hours later, contact was lost, triggering a desperate international search that captivated the world. We unpack the timeline of events, the warnings that had been raised long before the dive, the devastating truth behind the global rescue operation, and the safety questions that still surround OceanGate today.
