New details revealed on Titan submersible that imploded near Titanic wreck

[@willwetherington]

Lack of humility is what cause the Titan to implode.

[@ArchangelExile]

A PlayStation controller being used to operate the sub wasn't the problem. Don't try to be so disingenuous with that fact. The US military uses XBox controllers to operate certain vehicles with that. The controller wasn't the problem.

[@elysiabarr425]

Right? If it was a part of the problem, it’s a small part. The submersible was not meant to go 12,500 feet/4000km. It was a ticking time bomb. It was showing signs of haul fatigue. Stockton fired people because they pointed that out

[@MrMustangMan]

those controller are like aircraft black boxes.... i've throw mine around and they still function like new.!!!!!!

[@grahamsmith4183]

They clearly are not meant to be used in the pressures of that depth even though the cabin is pressurised, or do we skip past this lesson and use them as a sub controller again ?

[@Ruka-f7k]

The US military uses wired, official Microsoft controller. Titan used wireless bluetooth Logitech controller, arguably less reliable. The main concern was seeing them using the cheapest option available for what is the primary control system of the submarine.

[@ewatfred]

It was NOT a PlayStation controller, it was WORSE. It was a PC controller made by Logitech which is widely regarded by the PC gaming community as one of the worst controllers you can still buy new. The fact it still exists is terrible.

[@TrippLariscy-m5b]

hubris is a monument to man's arrogance. stockton's ego was the real killer.

[@carlostavaresjr958]

The media needs to get over the fact that a PlayStation controller drove the sub. It's more common then you think from gaming to robotics to industrial applications. Playstation controllers are the easiest to implement for control just about anything. The use of carbon fiber should be the talk there.

[@irieite9666]

I'd be more concerned about the story of the CEO having a fit of rage and throwing the controller at his colleague.

[@carlostavaresjr958]

@@irieite9666 haha but in seriousness that is the least of the issue. The materials were the problem here.

[@davebrown9725]

Not only was the carbon fiber laid up in a problematic manner (spiral layers like cable on a winch, instead of an overlapping diagonal wrap), carbon fibers are strong in tension (pull) loading, not in compression (push/squeeze) loading. Wrong design for this kind of use all around.

[@lightangelwarrior]

Thank you for the information! ❤

[@JustARandomViewer-o3n]

Now there are two wrecks, one small and one large.

[@stanleymcvay9283]

Not anymore

[@Toxic_panda.]

Fun fact it bout the same amount of money on both sides.

[@ArchangelExile]

They didn't prioritize the submersible's safety? Say whaaaaaat? 😱

[@YogaBlissDance]

I know right. It's the ONE FRIGGIN THING...

[@nelsonavery5069]

Is that Wednesday Adams? She's a news anchor now?

[@lmaoyourekiddingme]

Sad the creep and the suicidal Frenchman took innocents with them.

[@mikestraley7201]

The Frenchman was not suicidal, he went because he knew that there were issues and he thought his presence there would provide everyone with a better chance of survival

[@kittymaya4615]

I’d started a new job before the explosion and my boss said she couldn’t believe the people on the vehicle saw each other’s heads explode when we heard about the implosion. It was at that moment I knew she was dumb

[@madeinusa5395]

The Coast Guard photo of the hull on the bottom clearly shows the face of a person looking out waiting for help!

[@nelsonavery5069]

No, it was crushed by the pressure, there was no waiting for oxygen to run out, it was pretty instant death.

[@heatherstrange3717]

None of this is new information

[@tch4874]

Thank you I know right jeez

[@Goomba_N64]

Still they say it's a playstation controller. No it's a freaking Logitech controller. Not madcatz either.

[@anti-government7626]

Why is there a ratchet strap around the wreckage???

[@glennwelsh9784]

Guessing it was perhaps used when lowering the Titan into the water.

[@fiftydoggy9829]

Americans don't understand safety I work in shipping and the US vessels and crew are the worst regarding safety standards on board.

[@cybercityoedo808]

Why was Stockton in such a Rush to die?

[@irieite9666]

I don't think he was tbh. I think he was too arrogant / stupid to ever think this was a possibility.

[@PlanetMobius87]

Titanic: 2 Millionaires: 0

[@iitzfizz]

You should fact check what you release. That was not the final message, the final message was "dropped two weights" followed by a ping 6 seconds later and then total loss of communication.

[@lp-he3gl]

She says that if you watch the whole thing.

[@alanbrito7322]

... that's what she said.

[@jasminejazijaz8002]

I don’t care what y’all say I’m not getting on a complex piece of machinery only controlled by a gaming controller. A airplane and even a car got more buttons /switches to even out the functionality. Critical thinking still works 🙄😄

[@lemontadams3029]

RIP

[@MrMustangMan]

in pieces

[@BOK-04]

Stockton Rush, WAGDMFM

[@d.r.tweedstweeddale9038]

Nothing new here, all reported at the time of the incident. Lochridge had publicly made his concerns known regarding the engineering of the vessel even before the catastrophic accident. More dishonest reporting as usual.

[@lmaoyourekiddingme]

The photo was new. That's it.

[@irieite9666]

If you watch the full thing there is new information. Like a previous dive where (Long story, short) Stockton Rush rammed his submersible repeatedly into a wreckage site getting it stuck. Then when asked to pass the controller to his colleague threw it at his head in a fit of rage lol.

[@lmaoyourekiddingme]

@@irieite9666 nope lol

[@colinmathura-jeffree9829]

Ego

[@dutchhoke6555]

NEW details ?! Everybody else lies unashamedly, so...

[@RickysFarmAndHatchery]

They should of played x box...

[@mrmelmba]

The wreckage is not conclusive evidence that it is that of the Titan on its final voyage, as earlier submersibles had failed and they all are of similar appearance. This looks like part of one that failed near the surface and sank. Where are the pulverized fragments?

[@TrippLariscy-m5b]

uhm no there was 1 titan sub. and a few 1/3. scales models for pressure testing so it's the titan sub.

[@paulhowse6169]

What are you talking about

[@davebrown9725]

The wreckage says "Titan" on the side of it, not some other submersible name. The carbon fiber "pressure vessel" shattered, and there is even a piece right next to the external (Non-pressurized) cover, nose down on the bottom.

[@Dr_Larken]

Just finished watching Lockridge’s testimony, that the clip was pulled from! A lot of the same stuff we already knew, overall it just pointed out. There were worried about starting tours to make money! When that’s your only priority it never ends well! No one was experienced building subs. Some of the people didn’t even go to University. A bit of that DEI sprinkled in there! Same thing with the money you can apply to the DEI, it never ends well! Edit: investigators investigating on not what to do so they can prevent it! Um, perhaps Hiring based off a qualifications, experience, education will solve that problem! Just saying!

[@rocke7398]

I’m sure Trump had something to do with it

[@scotcharron1679]

They must have been distracted by harris's liesssss!!!😂😂😂

[@KMark2688]

Lol. Mainstream media is such trash reporting these days.

[@CesarHolguin90]

0:29 Is that a strap? How could that be. 😂

[@darknes7800]

Titan imploded like the CammeeeelaaaHarryes campaign !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Going down in flames............

Honestly I’m not disappointed there’s a few less billionaires in the world now

[@danielstevens58]

People dying is still tragic regardless of wealth

[@beadoll8025]

​​@danielstevens58 many of the times its the billionaires that are making other people's lives a complete utter living hell on this earth Because they are arrogant and more about getting over on others to gain even more wealth instead of doing what is right. I don't feel sorry for them. They were stupid and reckless and unfortunately bad choices led to dire consequences. That's what happens when you're arrogant, stupid and reckless and they are likely in eternity regretting their recklessness and utter disregard for what truly mattered in life. They signed waivers and each person on board was of age and understood that they were putting their lives in jeopardy and they did it anyway. Matthew 19:23 "Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

[@beadoll8025]

​@@danielstevens58 They were arrogant, stupid and reckless. All were of age to know that they were putting their own lives at risk signing waivers that warned them that 💀 was possible like 6 times. Matthew 19:24 “Truly I say to you, it is hard for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven."

@beadoll8025 The young son on there was completely innocent though, he didn't even want to go
