The latest step by OceanGate, comes weeks after the Titan sub tragedy which has been grabbing headlines across the world. The sub had gone missing within two hours of starting its trip to explore the wreckage of famous "Titanic" ship which sank in 1912. Later, Titan was confirmed to have imploded and its debris was recovered from deep sea. The US Coast Guard informed that they had also recovered “presumed human remains” from the Titan wreckage.

British billionaire businessman Hamish Harding, British father and son Shahzada and Suleman Dawood who had roots in Pakistan as one of its richest families, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush and former French navy diver Paul-Henry Nargeolet were the five persons who perished in the Titan submersible tragedy.

Since the incident, horrific details have emerged which highlight that OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush gravely undermined the safety of passengers onboard Titan. Reports say Stockton didn't undertake proper safety measures for the vessel to operate in such depths.
