Last year, five people hoping to view the Titanic wreckage died when their submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean. This week, a Coast Guard panel that's investigating the Titan disaster listened to four days of testimony that has raised serious questions about whether warning signs were ignored.

The United States Coast Guard wrapped up the first day of hearings Monday into the deadly Titan submersible implosion from June 2023.

A paying passenger described an aborted dive due to a mechanical failure, while OceanGate employees described a cutlure that prized profits over safety.
