The recording shows that the implosion occurred at 9:34 am local time, about 90 minutes after the Titan submerged.
The United States Coast Guard released a 20-second recording on Friday that is believed to have captured the moment the Titan submersible imploded, killing five people in June 2023 during an expedition to the wreckage of the Titanic.
The release of the audio - which you can listen to in the gallery above - came as part of an ongoing investigation into the crash, according to US media.
"A National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) passive acoustic recorder anchored approximately 900 miles from the Titan implosion site recorded the suspected acoustics of the Titan implosion on June 18, 2023," the Coast Guard said.
The recording also shows that the implosion occurred at 9:34 am local time, about 90 minutes after the Titan submerged, around 8 am, off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.
It is worth remembering that the Titan submersible disappeared on June 18, 2023, with five millionaires on board, during a visit to the wreckage of the Titanic. After four days of searching, authorities announced that the Titan had imploded and all passengers were dead.
The expedition that ended in tragedy was organized by the marine tourism company OceanGate Expeditions, whose CEO, Stockton Rush, was the submarine's pilot and one of the victims of the accident.
In addition to him, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his son, Suleman Dawood, also died in the Titan's implosion, as well as millionaire Hamish Harding and former French Navy commander Paul-Henry Nargeolet, an expert on the sinking of the Titanic.
The Titan was 6.5 meters long by 3 meters wide, weighed more than 10 tons and was made of carbon fiber and titanium. It traveled at a speed of 5.5 km/h and was propelled by four propellers.
