Tragic Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site — 12 stills and nine videos have been recovered, but none from the fateful OceanGate implosion

Recovery teams found an intact SubC Rayfin Mk2 Benthic Camera from the Titan submersible wreckage with an undamaged SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB SD card. Despite damage to the camera's PCBs and lens, investigators successfully recovered 12 still images and 9 videos by interfacing the SD card and NVRAM chip with a surrogate system-on-module board. The recovered media showed footage from the Marine Institute in Newfoundland rather than the fatal dive, as the camera was configured to store dive data on external storage.
