As per the report, following complaints, the sign has been taken down.

Talking to the media, Subway's head office blamed the franchise operator and assured the public that it won't happen again.

"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," said a spokesperson for the brand.

The Titan submersible tragedy

On 18 June 2023, OceanGate's Titan Submersible began its expedition to the shipwreck of The Titanic.&nbsp;

The vessel was carrying five passengers: Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, a father-son duo driven by their fascination with the Titanic; Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a renowned French scientist and Titanic expert, on his 38th dive to the Titanic wreckage; Hamish Harding, a British airline executive and Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, who was piloting the submersible.

Just hours after the descent began, contact with the submersible was lost. As per the United States Coast Guard, the disconnection happened after one hour and forty-five minutes into the dive. Four days later, the Coast Guard announced the discovery of debris from the Titan and said that all the passengers have perished in an implosion that would've instantaneously killed all onboard.

Too soon? Subway's insensitive 'our subs don't implode' sign after Titan tragedy angers netizens

It has been more than a week since the tragic deaths of the five passengers onboard the submersible Titan. Now, the wife of one of the ill-fated passengers has opened up about how their last moments must have looked like.

Speaking to the New York Times, Christine Dawood, who is related to two passengers; Shahzada Dawood and Suleman Dawood revealed, that in their last moments,&nbsp;they must've been sharing music as the insides of the pod moved deeper into the ocean.

<h2>Titan's journey underwater</h2>

As per the report, the submersible's journey underwater was roughly supposed to take two and a half hours. The Titan typically descended at about 25 metres per minute or roughly one mile per hour and the speed was slow enough that there was no sense of motion.

Among the passengers were Shahzada and Suleman Dawood, a father-son duo driven by their fascination with the Titanic.&nbsp;

Also onboard was Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a renowned French scientist and Titanic expert, who intended to make his 38th dive to the wreckage.&nbsp;

Hamish Harding, a British airline executive, thrilled to be partaking in his first expedition of this kind, made the fourth passenger.&nbsp;

Lastly, Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, piloted the submersible, aiming to leave a lasting legacy as an innovator.

<h2>Hours leading to the tragic descent</h2>

Christine Dawood recalls that in the hours leading to the tragic event, the passengers prepared for a unique journey to explore the wreckage of the Titanic; a journey that would've added their names to the list of people who have seen the famous shipwreck in person, but instead ended in a tragedy.

Talking to NYT, she recalls watching her husband, Shahzada, and son, Suleman, as they boarded the Titan submersible from the support ship.&nbsp;

Excitement filled the air as they embarked on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Suleman brought a Rubik's Cube, while Shahzada carried his Nikon camera, eager to capture the mesmerising sights through the porthole.

The two men had a strong fascination with the Titanic and had planned to experience the dive together. OceanGate, the company behind the expedition, marketed itself as a unique opportunity to explore the world's most famous shipwreck.&nbsp;

As the passengers prepared for the final dive, Hamish Harding posted updates on social media, sharing photos and expressing excitement. Little did he know that these posts would be his last.&nbsp;

<h2>A sunny day takes a dark turn</h2>

As the Titan descended into the depths of the ocean, Christine remained on the support ship, watching the submersible disappear beneath the waves. The sun was shining, and everything seemed calm and promising.&nbsp;

Shahzada's enthusiasm was palpable, exclaiming, "I'm diving tomorrow! I'm diving tomorrow!" His anticipation was infectious, and Christine recalled how he resembled a joyful child.

Just hours later, Christine overheard murmurs about a loss of communication with the Titan. The United States Coast Guard confirmed the disconnection after one hour and forty-five minutes into the dive.

Anxiety washed over Christine as she rushed to the bridge, where the team monitored the submersible's descent. She was reassured that sporadic communication was not uncommon.&nbsp;

She hoped for a swift reconnection. However, as the afternoon wore on, the realisation sank in that something was gravely wrong—Titan and its crew were missing.&nbsp;

Four days later, the Coast Guard announced the discovery of debris from the Titan, indicating its implosion and the instantaneous loss of all onboard.
