A detailed video showing how the Titan submersible imploded and killed five men on board has gone viral on social media. <br /><br />YouTube account AiTelly detailed the unnerving implosion which occurred last month - showing how and why the sub, destined for the wreckage of the Titanic, collapsed in on itself due to immense underwater pressure.<br /><br />The Titan submersible lost communications with its support vessel on Sunday, June 18, during a descent to the wreck of the Titanic 12,500 feet beneath the surface.<br /><br /><br />Days later, its debris was recovered. It was said to have suffered a 'catastrophic implosion'.<br /><br />Tourists Hamish Harding, 58, Shahzada Dawood, 48, and his son Suleman Dawood, 19, French Navy pilot Paul-Henry (PH) Nargeolet and OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush all died on the submersible.<br /><br />The new animation, using an open-source software called Blender, showed how Titan's 'experimental design' was different to existing sub technology which uses steel, titanium and aluminum. <br /><br />The YouTube channel took 12 hours to plug in data about OceanGate into the 3D modelling software to create the dynamic animation for viewers.<br /><br />Ultimately, the experts claim, it was Titan's carbon fiber construction that was the problem, since the material can 'crack and break suddenly.' <br /><br />The animators even created what the inside of the sub would have looked like, saying: 'This is probably one of the basic deep diving submarine you will ever see [sic].'
