00:00Oceangate co-founder Guillermo Solin was questioned this week during public hearings aimed at
00:05finding out what caused his company's submarine to implode on a trip to see the wreckage of
00:10the Titanic.
00:12The catastrophic implosion killed five people on board during a deep-sea voyage in June
00:162023.
00:17Solin left the company in 2013, years before Oceangate began conducting dives with the
00:23experimental unclassified vessel.
00:26He told the panel it was, quote, not supposed to happen, and the cause may be unknown forever.
00:32I don't know what happened.
00:33I don't know who made what decision when and based on what information.
00:39And honestly, I don't know if any of us will ever know this.
00:42Despite all of your team's investigative efforts, I don't know if we'll ever know the answers
00:47to all of this.
00:48The hearings, held in North Charleston, South Carolina, are being broadcast live on the
00:52U.S. Coast Guard channel.
