You're referring to the infamous "OceanGate" story that was published in the Daily Mail!

For those who may not know, OceanGate is a company that offers manned submersible services for underwater exploration and research. In 2021, the Daily Mail published a sensationalized article claiming that OceanGate had discovered a "lost city" off the coast of Greece, which was allegedly hidden beneath the Mediterranean Sea for thousands of years.

The article sparked widespread interest and media attention, with many outlets picking up the story and speculating about the potential significance of the discovery. However, the scientific community was skeptical from the start, and several experts questioned the validity of the claims.

It was later revealed that the "lost city" was actually a previously unknown underwater archaeological site, which was likely a ancient Greek or Roman settlement. While the discovery was certainly significant, it was not a "lost city" in the classical sense, and the Daily Mail's sensationalized reporting was widely criticized.

The incident highlights the importance of responsible and accurate reporting in science and archaeology, as well as the potential consequences of spreading misinformation.
