"Submerged Wonders: Exploring the Depths of Submarines"

OceanGate's Titan submarine started its journey from the Saint John Port Canada. At the same point, beneath lies the shipwreck of the titanic in the depths of ocean. Saturday , 17th June 2023 was day the journey was scheduled. According to plan it was supposed to launched at 8:00 AM on Sunday. Okay so let me tell you here that there was a problem noticed in Titan before the dive. And offcource the problem was ignored. If it wasn't ignored then I could have not been narrating this story.


Welcome to "Exploring the depth" , a captivating blog that will take you onto the exciting journey into the fascinating realm of submarine. Embark on an underwater as we delve into the intricate world of these remarkable vessels, uncovering their history , technology, operations and unique challenges, and the problem they conquer beneath the waves.

Join me as we dive headfirst into the mysteries of deep blue, where submarine region supreme. "exploring the depth " promises to be an engaging and informative space for all those captivated by the enigmatic world that lies beneath the waves. So fasten your seatbelts. or rather secure your hatches as we embark on this riveting adventure together . 

SO OKAY HERE I KNOW MOST OF YOU MIGHT BE KNOWING ABOUT THIS BUT TO KNOW MORE CLEARLY AND DEEPLY KINDLY GO THROUGH THIS.😊😊


So total 5 people were on the trip :
1. HAMISH HARDING (Founder of ocean aviation)
2. STOCKTAN RUSH (CEO of  OceanGate)  
3. PAUL HENRI (Expert of Shipwrecks)
4. SHAHZADA DAWOOD (Pakistani Business Tycoon)
5. SULEMAN SAWOOD (Son of Shahzada) 

On 17th June, Hamish had made his last post saying that their dive has been delayed due to cold weather and tomorrow we will dive as per the weather allow us. These 5 people where going too see the wreck of  Titanic. After sinking in 1912, efforts to find it continued for several years. Titanic had left so many questions behind that it was time to find the answers. Canadian Filmmakers James Cameron made dozens of tours of the Titanic Wreck in 1995 and then the iconic movie "TITANIC" was released in 1997.

It is believe that going to the depths of the ocean is even more challenging than that of traveling to the Space, And the biggest , hardest reason is the "pressure of the water". Titanic shipwreck is around 4km below the sea level i.e. around 5 times lower than the height of Burj Khalifa in the sea. And let me tell you pressure here is around 5,800 psi enough to destroy human body. 

Well  on Sunday 18th June  2023, the submarine journey started at 12 noon. Normally it takes about 2 hours to reach the titanic, but after an hour and 45 mins the mother ship "POLAR PRINCE" which was waiting above, lost the contact with the submarine. If it was supposed to take 2 hours to reach and it losses its contact just 15 mins earlier clearly indicates the submarine might be much closer to the Titanic. And it impossible for sunlight to reach this depth of the ocean. It is very much normal for the wireless signal to break at such a depth . Initially this matter wasn't taken too seriously. 
The entire trip was a total of 7 hours i.e. from 12 noon to 7 in the evening, the crew aboard the mother ship started getting more anxious. Canadian research vessel Polar Prince started searching for titan .At 9:40 they contacted the US coast guard and asked for help. The next day, Monday US and Canadian ships and planes started a search operation in the entire area, Search was also conducted under water with the help of Sonar scanning search continued till 2 days but there was no trace of  Titan found.

On Wednesday 21st June at 6 in the morning the team heard some noises from the depths of the water. The sound was of underwater radars. Immediately ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicles) were sent in the direction of the sound , but no news was found. The amount of oxygen in the submarine was only for 96 hours i.e. for around 4 days . And by that time already 3 out 4 days were passed.
The search teams of US , Canada and France did not give up. On Thursday 22nd June at 12 noon, ROV's were sent to the wreck of the Titanic and saw part of the Titan's tail lying only 1,600feet away from the Titanic . This only means that the submarine could not withstand the pressure of the water and imploded in the depths of the ocean. 


OceanGate's CEO said in 2021 that he knew he had broken some rules while making Titan. Because he made the Titan not from steel but from Aviation GRADE CARBON  FIBER. For the 1st time, before launch, Titan was tested at pressure of 5,000 to 10,000 PSI which it had . However experts believe that there are thousands of different forces that impact submarines in which not only pressure but also flow of water which is created due to waves. Additionally due to the darkness it is also possible that a heavy rock or a sea creature may have hit the submarine. And one reason for Titan's demise was its carbon fiber hull. However another reason was the presence of pre existing cracks in it. 
In 2019, the titan submarine also carried a businessman named Karl Stanley. He mentioned that during the trip as they were descending he heard a cracking sound coming from Titan's hull. He told  to CNN that the sound might have been a warning that the Titan's body could not withstand the pressure of the water.  In 2018 an OceanGate's executive spoke out against Titan's carbon fiber body. Their statement was that this issue would only become evident a few milliseconds before the implosion of submarine and in reality. that's exactly what happened. where Titan imploded, experts believe that it would have just taken only about 0.3 sec for it to collapse.


So as we stepped back onto solid ground , we carried with us the memories of our time in the submarine's embrace. The ocean's siren call would forever echo in our hearts, beckoning us to return someday and continue our exploration of the world's final frontier. Until then, I remained grateful for the privilege of glimpsing the secrets held by the deep sea, forever bound by my shared adventure beneath the waves.

FEEL FREE TO ASK QUESTIONS AND SUGGESTIONS ARE ALWAYS WELCOME.😁😁

THANKYOU.😃 UNTIL NEXT TIME!!!!.

Breaking the Silence.

 The Kolkata rape case has shaken the city and the nation to its core, reigniting conversations about the safety of women and the urgent need for judicial reform. In a society where such horrific crimes are all too common, the incident stands as a grim reminder of the vulnerability that women face daily. While this blog is based on my personal research and interpretation of available information, it reflects my views and should not be considered an authoritative source. My goal is to shed light on the details of the case and its societal implications. Around 22 mins later, at 11:15 AM, the same person calls the parents again and says your daughter has committed s**ci*e. And during the re-examination process, they focuses on one person who was wearing shorts and sleeveless t-shirts and was roaming around in on the 3rd floor seminar hall around 4 AM. The CCTV camera shows that on his shoulders, there are Bluetooth earphones. The disgusting thing is that the principal tried to blame t...

A Ticket, A Dream, and A Solo Flight.

 The moment had finally arrived. With my passport in one hand and a heart full of mixed emotions, I stepped into the bustling airport, ready for my first-ever solo journey from India to New Zealand. Excitement and nervousness swirled within me as I double-checked my boarding pass, realizing that this was more than just a flight, it was a leap into independence. The journey wasn’t direct; I had a 1.5-hour layover in Malaysia, which added another layer of thrill and slight anxiety. Navigating a foreign airport alone, surrounded by strangers and unfamiliar signs, felt like a mini adventure within the adventure. From the rush of catching my next flight to the quiet reflection at 35,000 feet, every moment of this trip shaped an unforgettable experience filled with challenges, surprises, and a newfound confidence in myself. Convincing my parents to let me travel alone to New Zealand was no easy task. Their concerns about safety, long flights, and layovers made them hesitant, but after da...

The Dreamliner Nightmare, Flight AI‑171 Never Made It Home

  Flames burst through the sky over Ahmedabad. Families waited at the airport, unaware their loved ones would never return. Many lives were lost in India’s deadliest aviation tragedy in decades — but was it preventable? This wasn’t the first time this particular aircraft had raised alarms. In November 2021, the same Boeing 787 Dreamliner, operating a flight from London to Hyderabad, was forced to make an emergency landing in Turkey due to a fuel leak. Disturbingly, whistleblowers from the Boeing factory where these Dreamliners were manufactured had long raised concerns. In undercover investigations, workers were asked if they would personally fly on the aircraft they built — and they categorically refused. Many alleged that the planes were assembled with faulty parts, and that metal shavings and other foreign objects were often left inside the fuselage. Quality control violations were ignored, and employees claimed they were pressured not to report safety lapses. One Boeing quality...
