The sandwich franchise Subway responded after one of its restaurants received backlash for a tasteless joke about the Titan submersible tragedy.
On July 5, a spokesperson for Subway gave a statement to the “Today” show and confirmed it was aware of the sign.
“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 spokesperson said. “The sign has since been removed.”
On July 2, Timothy Mauck, based in Georgia, posted a photo to his Facebook page showing a sign outside of a local Subway restaurant that read, “Our subs don’t implode.” The sign referenced the “catastrophic implosion” that killed five passengers aboard the submersible on June 22 after they attempted to make their way to the Titanic wreckage.
