Doomed Titan sub crashed just DAYS before fatal dive as more chilling video of wreckage released

THE doomed Titan sub crashed during a malfunction just days before it set off on a fatal dive that killed five, an ex-OceanGate chief has admitted.
Former scientific director Dr Steven Ross is testifying as part of an investigation into the "catastrophic implosion" of the vessel last June.
Dr Ross told officials today that days before the sub set off for the doomed Titanic trip, passengers onboard were thrown about during a mission malfunction.
The submersible pilot at the time, OceanGate co-founder Stockton Rush, crashed into bulkheading, Dr Ross said.
Speaking of the mission he said: "The rest of the passengers tumbled about.
"I ended up standing on the rear bulkhead. One passenger was hanging upside down."
The other two onboard managed to wedge themselves into the bow end cap, he added.
Dr Ross said that he did not know if an assessment of the Titan hull was performed after the incident.
Businessman Rush - who died in the sub tragedy - was reportedly warned about safety concerns ahead of the trip on June 18 last year.
A two-week-long hearing is ongoing into the tragedy in Charlestown, South Carolina, under a US Coast Guard panel.
