In 2018, the Marine Technology Society (MTS) wrote a letter to OceanGate Expeditions CEO Stockton Rush, warning the construction of the Titan submersible was "experimental," and could result in "minor to catastrophic" outcomes.

Five years later, the sub suffered a “catastrophic implosion,” according to the U.S. Coast Guard, taking the lives of five onboard passengers in the process.

Global National's Dawna Friesen speaks with a signatory of that letter, chair of the MTS Manned Underwater Vehicles Committee Will Khonen, on his reaction to the grim outcome of the search for the vessel, and his thoughts about future expeditions to the Titanic's wreckage.
