OceanGate, Inc. on Instagram: "Due to a condensed testing timeline, we have decided to reschedule the 2018 Titanic Survey Expedition. Deep sea testing began in late April near Marsh Harbour in the Bahamas. Upon arrival the sub’s electronics sustained lightning damage that affected over 70% of its internal systems. Combined with uncharacteristically stormy and windy conditions in the Bahamas the team was unable to complete the first 4000-meter dive at least 45 days prior to the Titanic Survey Expedition. This milestone was a key decision point in the testing timeline and a trigger for a go/no-go decision to conduct the expedition in 2018. “While we are disappointed by the need to reschedule the expedition, we are not willing to short cut the testing process due to a condensed timeline” said Stockton Rush, OceanGate CEO. “We are 100% committed to safety and want to fully test the sub and validate all operational and emergency procedures before launching any expedition.” Link in Bio. #TITAN #OCEANGATE #OCEANGATEEXPEDITIONS #SUMBERSIBLE #OPENTHEOCEANS #OCEANEXPLORE #BAHAMAS #TITANIC #STEM #SUBMARINE" | Zootzle
