Subway Sign Sparks Outrage After Tragedy of Titan Submersible Implosion

On July 2, the U.S. Coast Guard confirmed the deaths of all five passengers aboard the Titan submersible, which had gone missing four days prior. The tragedy prompted a Subway restaurant in Georgia to change its roadside sign to read “Our subs don’t implode”, sparking backlash and criticism from the public.

The sign, which was posted by Timothy Mauck of Brooklet, Georgia, was met with outrage online, prompting Subway to take action. In a statement, Subway said, “We have been in contact with the franchise about this matter and made it clear that this kind of comment has no place in our business.”

The Titan submersible was on a voyage to see the wreck of the Titanic when it imploded tens of thousands of feet below the surface of the water. The tragedy has been met with shock and sadness from the public, and many have taken to social media to express their condolences.

Subway has since removed the sign and issued an apology, saying, “We apologize for the insensitivity of the sign and are taking steps to ensure this does not happen again. Our thoughts are with the families of those affected by this tragedy.”

The Titan submersible disaster has been a tragic reminder of the fragility of life and the importance of respecting those who have been affected by it. Subway’s apology and removal of the sign is a step in the right direction, and a reminder that we should all take a moment to remember those who have been lost.
