One year after the Titan tragedy, there has been no progress, no justice, and no learning.

It has been a year since the Titan submarine catastrophe rocked the world, on Tuesday, June 18. While traveling to the Titanic debris, the submersible unexpectedly disappeared. The ship had been destroyed and all five of the passengers had perished, according to the results of a five-day search.

The US Coast Guard promptly began a high-level investigation. Unusual information came to light, indicating that there had previously been reservations about the Titan's design. Stockton Rush, the CEO of OceanGate Expeditions, is accused of disobeying warnings in the days preceding the catastrophe.

The five passengers who lost their lives were Rush, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a French diver, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his son Suleman.

No justice, no breakthrough, and no lessons gained

But a year later, nobody is aware of the investigation's current status. Justice has not been served for the departed passengers, and no breakthrough has occurred. Tragically, the majority of them died as a result of authorities' negligence. 

Days after the Titanic vanished, debris was found close to her final resting place. It was formally announced that the submersible had experienced a "catastrophic implosion" after that discovery.

Many explorers' confidence was destroyed by the disaster. Ocean explorer and adventurer Victor Vescovo said in a recent interview with The Mirror that Rush "ignored" the "collective experience" and continued diving the submersible despite its "inherently flawed design."

"Stonton Rush received a letter from the Marine Technical Society, or MTS, pleading with him to obtain the subclassified or cease operations. He continued plunging into an intrinsically defective design and operation, ignoring their vast combined experience, according to Vescovo. They actually hauled the submersible to the diving site out in open water on their most recent excursion to the Titanic. Who knows what kind of hammering the submarine endured while traveling across the North Atlantic that raised the possibility of serious

What has happened in the year since the Titan tragedy?

Although it is taking longer than anticipated, the incident is still being investigated. It was announced last week by US Coast Guard officials that the investigation's findings would not be available before the accident's one-year anniversary. A public hearing to address the findings won't be possible for at least another two months, they continued.

According to CTV News, investigators "are working closely with our domestic and international partners to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the incident," according to Marine Board of Investigation Chair Jason Neubauer. In addition, Neubauer called the investigation a "complex and ongoing effort."

The Titan's owner, OceanGate, ceased operations shortly after the disaster in July of last year. An earlier

Harding and Nargeolet were members of The Explorers Club, whose president, Richard Garriott, stated last week that "then, as now, it hit us on a personal level very deeply." The professional society is committed to resource conservation, exploration, and study. Garriott also mentioned that this week's annual Global Exploration Summit will include a celebration of memory for the victims of the tragedy in Portugal.

The falsified transcript of the log
It was discovered a few days ago that the log transcript of the Titan submersible's conversations with its mothership was wholly fraudulent. The transcript was made public last year and went viral on social media under the guise of disclosing the last correspondence between the mothership and the submersible prior to the implosion.
