OceanGate tried to scrub the internet clean of traces that it ever existed, taking down its Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and LinkedIn pages

 

OceanGate has gone dark on the internet and scrubbed its digital footprint off social media after announcing that it would suspend deep-sea explorations.

 

As of press time, OceanGate's website and social-media accounts were not accessible to the public. Insider was unable to verify when OceanGate took down its website and social-media profiles.

 

The OceanGate and OceanGate Expeditions websites now redirect to a page that says the company "has suspended all exploration and commercial operations."

 

OceanGate's digital scrubbing extends to its social-media accounts as well.

 

The OceanGate and OceanGate Expeditions Facebook pages have both been taken down.

 

OceanGate and OceanGate Expeditions' LinkedIn and Twitter accounts were similarly removed.

 

OceanGate's Instagram account was made private, while OceanGate Expeditions' account appears to have been deleted.

They'll resurface in six months as GateOcean or OceansGates or some other much more the well thought out name. 🤭

Chilling new Titan submarine audio of 'banging' sounds revealed for first time

 

Audio of the "banging" sound that provided hope of life to the families of those trapped inside the doomed Titan submersible is to be revealed for the first time.

 

Following the five men's disappearance in June last year as they travelled to the floor of the Atlantic to see the wreck of the Titanic, their loved ones remained optimistic they would be rescued. Late into the second day of searching, reports emerged that banging noises were detected in 30-minute intervals deep under the ocean.

 

The initial sound was recorded around 11:30pm on June 20th before the US Navy confirmed they had also detected the noises the following morning. Coast Guard Captain Jamie Frederick said at the time: "With respect to the noises, specifically, we don't know what they are, to be frank with you."

 

Many suggested that the noise was more likely attributed to "debris" and "junk" from the infamous wreck. Jeff Karson, Professor Emeritus of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Syracuse University, said the sounds heard were probably fuelled by "wishful thinking" by the US Coast Guard.

 

Ten days following its disappearance, the Coast Guard reported the discovery of "presumed human remains" within the submarine wreckage.
