The OceanGate submersible, Titan, which sank in the Atlantic, was seriously damaged after being struck by lightning in 2018

After four days of searching, wreckage from the Titan was discovered not far from the Titanic, and it was determined that the submersible had imploded due to the intense water pressure, instantly killing all five passengers on board.
