“No One Asked For This…” Netflix Releases Documentary On The OceanGate Disaster

On June 11th, a documentary titled “Titan’s Tale” by Oceangate is set to premiere on Netflix, and while some viewers are eagerly anticipating it, there’s a fair share of skepticism as well.

Small Vehicle, Big News

Many people are familiar with the tragic sinking of the Titanic, an incident that gained global attention. A tour company named Oceangate advertised trips to the submerged remains of the Titanic, with prices ranging from $150,000 to $200,000 per ticket. After their underwater vehicle’s last confirmed contact, news outlets worldwide started a countdown, anticipating when the Titan would exhaust its oxygen supply.

Eventually, information surfaced indicating a deafening explosion had taken place on the surface vessel, suggesting the submersible and its occupants would not resurface. This prompted numerous teams to scour the area in search of the wreckage, and it was ultimately discovered that the Titan may have suffered an implosion.

The Community’s Reaction

The internet was flooded with countless memes as a result of the unique countdown. This surge was partly fueled by the crew’s affluence and their connection to past events like Oceangate and the Titan submersible. Consequently, it didn’t take much time for news outlets, YouTubers, and livestreamers to delve deeply into this topic.


Two years on, Netflix is stepping into the fray by planning to debut a documentary detailing the aforementioned events on June 11th. Yet, responses within the X community have been divided.

I can’t contain my excitement as I share the news about the upcoming Netflix documentary, “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster,” based on the real-life events of the OceanGate expedition. Mark your calendars for June 11th!

Divided Opinions

Some viewers eagerly anticipate the documentary and seek detailed information about it, whereas others express doubts about its relevance as they comment on the Netflix trailer.

“they just sank we don’t need a whole documentary about it”

“we already know how this ends and somehow it’s still getting a doc”

People seem to have differing viewpoints regarding the release of this documentary, especially given its focus on recent tragedies where many lives were tragically lost. Some criticize that such a sensitive subject matter should be aired at all, while others question Netflix’s decision-making process when it comes to choosing topics for their documentaries.

As a devoted fan, I must admit that some may perceive the upcoming documentary as merely profit-driven. However, it’s undeniable that there’s genuine anticipation for it. This is underscored by a recent survey on X, where an impressive 58% of users expressed their excitement for the Netflix production.

What do you think? Are you looking forward to the documentary, or do you find it distasteful?
