He then moved on to the Titan Explorer.
But what eventually led to the ships capsizing was downflooding, the ingress of seawater through submerged openings.
Despite their efforts, only two members were rescued,Jon LawlerandDean Gribble.
Unfortunately, CaptainGary Cobban Jr.and four other crew members were still missing.
The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB)concluded that the sinking was primarily due to faulty stability instructions.
The instructions lacked essential details about downflooding points and misrepresented sections of the deck space.
