There is a person from Mexico who went into one of these expeditions with Oceangate last year, after a failed attempt in 2021, he went back last year and they were able to explore the Titanic, back then it was 125,000 USD per person, he was sponsored by two Mexican Companies, he documented the 8-day experience into a 4 part video, in one of the videos Rush Stockton gives a tour of the Submergible from inside and outside, he shows Titan had 4 external cameras. His channel is called 'Alanxelmundo', the videos are in spanish but Closed Captions can be turned on. The first video is called 'Mi Expedicion al Titanic parte 1/4 - Alan por el mundo'

[@Alasstarz]

Thanks for the recommendation!!

[@monochrome3619]

External cameras? I wonder if they removed those before this expedition then 🤔

[@newhorizon4066]

This series is remarkable in that it shows (in part 2 or 3) the re-docking of the sub when it surfaced lopsided (because some ballast had been dropped) onto the platform. It was a tremendous job, took the whole night to get the thing on. In short, the diving crew spent almost a whole day inside the sub! Also it wasn't a 8-day experience, it was two trips altogether.

[@juttaweise]

thanks Jenny, that tip is very appreciated, because it shows us a person who went to the Titanic and back again. It's a pity that there is an interview of Alan Estrada after the accident, but all in spanish without any subtitles in english. In the series one can see HP Nargeolet who actually went down twice and did not survive the 3rd time. In the interview Alan made clear, that the control device, which everybody finds rediculous, is only ment to move the sub from left to right and down and up, probably to get better views of the souroundings. It was never meant to control the complete submarine.

This reminds me of the Hawaiian Air incident when the top half of the front of the passenger cabin separated from the plane mid flight. The cause was found to be microscopic stress cracks in the fuselage from the takeoff and landing cycles that weren't detected. The airplane skin had compressed and decompressed one too many times and it just broke off.

[@jabbaabintra3796]

I'm afraid that to me the reason for the collapse is obvious. I fly FPV drones made from carbon fiber, as they take hits the laminate becomes separated from the fibers. I once learned that the extreme pressures of a submarine cause the materials to be squashed, solid metal by inches sometimes. Carbon fiber can not flex in this way and be ok, how did it last so long? The squash should break up the carbon fibers glue. Submarines need to be built to compress and decompress their structure safely especially at these depths! They found at first on the bottom, the tail cone, the front cap and the landing gear. These parts were attached to the fiber wrapped central core that would have shattered like glass as it finally imploded. RIP and thanks for all the work contributed to the study of Titanic, they were brave I'll give them that, this is a terrifying idea to me!!!

[@nicolepayne2261]

I absolutely love mark so much!!! Genuinely a great guy and very informative!!!

[@perryjohnson8213]

It’s the same thing as the fuselage of a pressurized aircraft, a jet, etc. I fly business jets and the jets that I fly all have cycle limits. Though the cycle limits or number of times we pressurize the cabin of our jets have much higher limits, they are still limited for a reason. This is SO sad, I cannot even begin to imagine. I have had a few moments where I’ve heard our main cabin door pop or make noises due to the pressurization and it definitely gets your attention, not a comfortable feeling. I can’t help but wonder if these crew members heard any popping noises just prior to the implosion. IT’s haunting to think about. 🙏🙏

@26:32 I was wondering the same last night after learning about the 19yr old. I understand that it doesnt matter now, just would like to know if he had a chance to enjoy the moment with his dad without knowing they were in danger. Especially since he made the greatest sacrifice out of everybody there by going and also losing his life during it. Hoping that he did get something back at least before his life ended, since they never made it to the Titanic. 😢

[@juttaweise]

don't worry, his mother (is german) gave an interview to a german newspaper. Her son was eager to go (the aunt a false one to make a buzz?). Because he was great with the Rubik cube and he wanted to establish a new record with it, very fast and at -3800m. He had applied for this record with Guinness Books. So he went very exited, laughing with his dad, who had brought a small camera to film the occasion. His mother was on the mother ship and she saw them off!

[@josneira1827]

I want to say something i am an average youtuber don't have any expertise or even intricate knowledge study or experience about any of this but: I am under the impression that the depth of the accident is already calcuble and that some people will already know, here's why Great stream btw and insight, right well during the course of this broadcast i discovered that the US Navy were aware of a sound at a specific time quoted as 1 hr 45? min from when the dive began,, in any event they will have an accurate record of the exact time. From the time the vehicle started it's dive, now despite my lack of knowledge, i know that a dive will be constant ie the rate of descend from the start. if we now know the time of commencement, and the time the then unidentified sonar implosion sounds, as was picked up by the Navy, and we know that the vehicle takes a specific amount of time to reach the sea bed said to be 2 hr :20 mins i believe?, then it's really simple math to calculate the depth if we know the depth of the seabed approx 12500 ft this tragedy occured as a very rough guess at 9375 ft, more accurate figures will be made with the exact data. cheers

[@KathyHecht-bm3xk]

Human remains a side being bombarded with pictures of the debris field can be distressing for the grieving family and friends think back to 9/11 when you couldn't get away from the instant replay of the planes and the endless imagines of ground zero. I understand that interest is high but Monday morning quarterbacking for click bait sake or images for sensationalizing tragedy are in poor taste. Getting valuable information to improve safety and avoid further loss of life is admirable and necessary but that is going to take time and won't happen quickly to feed news cycle interests.

[@streamer_services]

Absolutely the missing bolt could have been the source.....its just a hole thru the flange of the dome that is not filled and after a while with so much pressure it could leak around it...stress fractures around the other holes after tightening and loosening so many times could be a problem....oh...yea...and i am an engineer and installer of high pressure units.....but what do i know...

Stockton Rush seemed Impetuous when it came to the safety inspection of his Sub. Furthermore, Rush was prejudice with his hiring practices of experienced team members, and the firing of other staff members that questioned his safety standards. Finally, Rush used off the shelf parts and junk laying around his backyard on the submersible itself.

[@franciscoburgos787]

What failed? Is obviously the captain. Had the owner listened to any of the warning signs, this would not have happened. It’s the same failure that sank the Titanic btw. The vessel itself worked tho. This wasn’t his first rodeo. He’s made several trips. The only thing we learned is that his design obviously had limitations. It’s only good for a certain number of trips. Scrap it and build a new one.

If the navy command knew there was an implosion in the ocean near the naval ship, which happened about the first 2 hours it left surface, why did they not check further, send recovery before being notified by the Ocean Gate parent ship waiting for mini sub? It’s said that sister vessel waited unti after 6 PM to call coast Guard on this?

Did the mother ship not have underwater acoustical equipment? The Navy heard the implosion but they didn't?

[@carolvassallo26]

My question as well. They were so close to the implosion one would think they had to hear it.

[@blackfishblues]

Count me in. Even before the Navy reported this, I was wondering: Why didn't the Polar Prince detect a possible implosion, even allowing for the immense distance and tons of water between them? My simplistic, non-specialist answer is that, like the Titan had insufficient equipment on board, the Polar Prince had no sonar powerful enough, no acoustic detection system etc, to get an inkling of what had happened? OR, did they know something had happened? This is a sincere question, not a conspiracy theory. I've been reading a lot about this, but I feel we will get many more data as days go by.
