A detailed video showing how the Titan submersible imploded and killed five men on board has gone viral on social media.

YouTube account AiTelly detailed the unnerving implosion which occurred last month - showing how and why the sub, destined for the wreckage of the Titanic, collapsed in on itself due to immense underwater pressure.

The Titan submersible lost communications with its support vessel on Sunday, June 18, during a descent to the wreck of the Titanic 12,500 feet beneath the surface.


Days later, its debris was recovered. It was said to have suffered a 'catastrophic implosion'.

Tourists Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman Dawood, 19, French Navy pilot Paul-Henry (PH) Nargeolet and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush all died on the submersible.

The new animation, using an open-source software called Blender, showed how Titan's 'experimental design' was different to existing sub technology which uses steel, titanium and aluminum.

The YouTube channel took 12 hours to plug in data about OceanGate into the 3D modelling software to create the dynamic animation for viewers.

Ultimately, the experts claim, it was Titan's carbon fiber construction that was the problem, since the material can 'crack and break suddenly.'

The animators even created what the inside of the sub would have looked like, saying: 'This is probably one of the basic deep diving submarine you will ever see [sic].'
