Users of social networking sites published a video clip that they claimed showed the last moments of the crew of the submarine “Titan” before losing track of it, and then announcing the death of those on board due to an internal explosion in the depths of the sea.
But this video is not related to the stricken submarine’s voyage, but rather from another cruise, and was posted by one of its participants.
The video shows people entering what appears to be a mini-submarine. Then the submarine is towed out to sea and there it sinks under the water, while the crew smiles and expresses their excitement.
The accompanying comments stated that the video shows “exclusive footage” from inside the stricken submarine, whose tragedy aroused wide interest in the world. Some video publishers appeared commenting on it.

The appearance of these publications follows the announcement last week of the death of the five passengers of the submarine “Titan”, which went missing near the wreckage of the “Titanic” at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
The submarine’s operator, Oceangate, said in a statement that it believed the five occupants were dead.
On the same day, the US Coast Guard announced that the wreckage of the submarine, which was found nearby thanks to a robot, indicated that there had been a “catastrophic implosion”.
Subsequently, many publications appeared regarding the submarine and its crew, and a number of them turned out to be incorrect, and the news-checking service at Agence France-Presse worked to refute it.
What is the truth regarding this video, which was said to be documenting the last moments of the submarine’s passengers?
different crew
However, the people appearing in the circulating video are not the same victims whose photos were published following the accident, which denies that the video is related to the ill-fated flight, as the misleading publications claimed.
Another trip
Subsequently, searching for scenes from the video on search engines showed that it was posted on an adventurer’s account, whose page data on communication sites indicates that it is run from the United States and Australia, and is followed by hundreds of thousands of people interested in his adventures and trips.
This video was published a few days ago, stating that it was filmed weeks ago.
He said in the introduction to the video on YouTube, “While the whole world is watching the ongoing rescue work for the crew of the missing submarine in the vicinity of the Titanic, I would like to share with you my experience on a mission a few weeks ago. If my trip had not been canceled, it would have been possible for me to be inside this submarine.”
