New details revealed behind Oceangate Titan implosion

[@Michelala]

The Titan and the Titanic are not similar. Everyone expected the Titanic to be unsinkable. Everyone but Stockton Rush expected the Titan to fail.

No one can go to the bottom of the ocean 12,500 feet in a Pringles can. The crew of the Titan are one with the ocean current.

I had no idea about this Titan voyage until it was on so many broadcasting stations and I had hope for safety before the ship finally imploded very sad. But the more I learned about the vessel they were aboard(like discounted carbon fiber parts purchased from Boeing) the more I thought more yrs it they should've taken to make sure the safety (even though they had made a safe trip or 2 before) of the seafarers aboard would undoubtedly make it home safe but make more comfortable accommodations. With the repurchased Logitech Wireless Gamepad I guess that had nothing to do with the doomed mission but I'm not a marine engineer.

To me the Titan disaster has parallels to Jurassic Park storyline. JP’s Hammond strikes very similar to Rush.

How about not using a logistic gaming controller for a start

[@TheSarah730]

And internal lights from Camper World

[@XifaXD]

That has nothing to do with the issue. Stockton’s belief that Carbon fiber is better than Steel and Titanium is the bigger problem.

​@@XifaXD I agree, and feel the game controller is small potatoes compared to the structural issues. However, it certainly does help show a pattern of skimps and cool ideas in theory but questionable decisions after the fact. I wasn't even aware of his janky-ass home built air scrubber because everyone keeps talking about the dang game controller!

And not use fiberglass instead of titanium steal;

[@Favimusic]

Stockton "I'm in a Rush!".

[@JsYTA]

Nothing stings more than the idea that we sent an HD camera down there to investigate, rendering their entire mission completely pointless.

[@TizTime]

What a lovely psyop

[@ricktbdgc]

The timing of the hearing is perfect

[@yamlcase230]

Please clue me in

[@mr8966]

If you’re a directionless thrill seeking billionaire, go into space with Elon instead of sinking to the bottom with titanic idiots.

[@ansynnoake-ez2uc]

I know where a piece of that thing went

[@LostTouristOfficial]

Always recycle your cans

[@buzz5969]

New details😅😂

Nicknamed the SS Liberal.

[@ProfessionalMusicPartners]

The technical engineering term for such a failure is : Skrushing, as in “boy dat Stockton guy really skrushed his buddies dis time! 🥹
