[@letstalkaboutit8254]

Rush knew the dangers involved but insisted on using his unproven design, I'm guessing because it was quite a bit lighter than steel- But as we found out also weaker than steel. Of course when lives are on the line you MUST go with a tried & true design. Period.

[@blackpajamas6600]

It's a good question. Most of the people on that sub should have known better - of the people who perished on the Titan, I think 3 of those men should have known better: Stockton Rush, Hamish Hardin, and P.H. Nargeolet. Of those 3, I think Stockton Rush has the most culpability for what happened - he was the one who was effectively leading OceanGate's attempts to convince people the Titan was safe when it truly wasn't. Hamish Harding was a billionaire adventurer and had done daring rich-man things before - your guess is as good as mine as to whether Hamish really thought Titan was safe. Maybe his travels with other underwater ventures should have told him that Stockton was cutting corners. From my understanding based on some interviews referencing P.H. Nargeolet, he *may* have had a sense that something was amiss but he told people that part of the reason he was associated with OceanGate at all was because he thought his own experiences in the ocean could help Rush and his team - he thought maybe he'd be able to help make sure they were exploring safely. We already know how much his advice helped. Of the other 2 men who died, it's hard to tell how "dumb" they were. Shazada Dawood was not an experienced billionaire adventurer like Harding, at least not to my knowledge. He was simply a billionaire who had the money to do daring and adventurous things. I don't know that he would have had the technical expertise and understanding to know why the Titan was so dangerous, but I suppose there's some amount of willful ignorance when you sign paperwork that says you could die. I get the sense his money let him do things he knew few people could, and as a result he may have willfully ignored signs of danger. His son Suleman, based on what I've read, seems to be the only truly blameless person on the vessel - not really old enough to know what questions to ask (as well as what warnings to heed), and no doubt trustful of his father. Bottom line: 4 of those people should have known to tell the 5th that this wasn't a trip he should be allowed to take.

[@ToreDL87]

Nargeolet Really should have known much better, it wasn't his first rodeo and he knew practically everyone in the deep sea diving community. Sad as it is (which of course I think it is), it might just a way of Titanic getting a bit of justice, Nargeolet is known for having participated in several Titanic dives where artifacts were taken without approval. He may even have been on one of (or all of, nobody knows) the completely undocumented expeditions that took the Crows Nest (which is simply missing).

He also mass produces his rocket motors which brings down the cost i bet. he won't be launching people in starship anytime soon. even the moon mission won't have people launched in starship. they'll dock with starship at the gateway station and ride it down to the moon. this will apparently be after they had made a number of successful moon landings bringing material and equipment remotely. considering he'll need something insane like 10-15 launches of starship to refuel the one going to the moon, they'll need to work out its issues to make this feasible with a quick turnaround time. i am not enthusiastic of the whole system working before the end of the decade to be frank.

I feel guilty, but that did make me laugh! 🫢 He should’ve just gotten the red convertible!

All they had to do was to continue using certified subs & exploring wrecks at a safe level, every time. Simple as that, it could have been profitable, but as you see, that was not enough for Rush. What a crazy story. After the facts.

Credit where due, he is absolutely remembered for the rules he broke. Shame those broken rules resulted in all those fucking deaths.

The Titanic didn't "claim" 5 more. They willfully gave themselves to her.

[@Briskeeeen]

The kid didn't.

[@torquetheprisoner]

[@skorpion7132]

Well, technically the Titanic claimed maybe only a few lives. I'd say the cold water did the most claiming.

The last time the world's youngest anything teamed up with a hip-hop star we got Fyre Festival. Food for thought.

[@skorpion7132]

I fear for Fyre Festival 2.0

[@zarasbazaar]

Except their prototype didn't pass every test. It imploded during a test and they decided to go through with that design anyway. Also, the Strauss' weren't Stockton's ancestors. They were his wife's.

[@hagbagslayer5799]

No comparison between Elon and Stockton AT ALL

[@yakhooves]

“High fivin’ white guys!” That’s a super regional reference! He definitely spent a lot of time in the Seattle area. I had to replay it to make sure I heard him correctly because it’s such an obscure joke! I really love this little documentary. Really well done!

[@lesleyknight5790]

Love your thumb nail with the gaming controller. Perfect depiction of this guy

[@TheGeezzer]

6000 psi is 72,000 lbs of pressure every square foot! 72,000 lbs is 32 tons of pressure every square foot ( the weight of a Sherman tank every square foot) constantly pressing against the side of the hull, there only has to be one microscopic flaw, one little hairline crack or bubble in the structure for it to fail at those pressures! Stockton Rush was a maniac to cut corners and do it on the cheap!

[@matthewtymaja3760]

It is much higher pressure than even the surface of Venus 😳

[@TheGeezzer]

@@matthewtymaja3760Every square foot has the weight of a Sheman tank on it....we're talking serious legit pressures. _Not_ to be F***ed about with!!

[@TheGeezzer]

@@matthewtymaja3760 Sorry forgot to mention your interesting fact about Venus there!

[@WobblesandBean]

Not to mention that carbon fiber is damn near indestructible when you apply tension, but it's extremely weak when it comes to tension. It's utterly useless to protect against confining pressure.

[@daisyguzman9040]

Titanic didn't take 5 lives. Stockton did

[@TheMonkeyNeuron]

Holy hell. I have watched everything about this debacle since it was reported lost (to which a friend of mine said, “those poor bastards most certainly imploded”). This is the absolute best assessment of it I’ve ever seen. Amazing.

[@molybdomancer195]

He was by all accounts a good aeronautical engineer but lacked the sense to see the deep ocean environment is not the same as that of the atmosphere.

[@benverboonen1108]

This boy don't miss

[@clayongunzelle9555]

He got turned down from space travel and he grew resentful and blinded by that resentment he went down a disastrous road

[@artistphilb]

Not having a hatch would be a claustrophobic nightmare for me, if you became separated from the support ship, there is no way for you to get out as you are bolted in from the outside... and doomed to suffocate when the air runs out

[@maki0794]

The media trying to portray this guy as a genius and an inspiration when he was the one who caused his own death and dragged 4 other people with him. He should be placed in every health and safety advisory as a reminder.

[@GothBunny6669]

[@derpferdheithorst6306]

There have been a lot of videos on this topic and I've seen almost every one, but this is by far the best!

[@JamesMcClung-qp1nm]

The story never ceases to completely amaze me. I actually worked for Stockton Rush from 2000 to 2004 at a different company than Ocean gate. I got to know him pretty well. He was exactly like he is in all these interviews as he was back then.

[@fatherofdragons4880]

That poor poor boy. Please dad, I'm scared... Please don't make me do it........son, trust me.

[@CrystalRaye]

The kid is the only one I truly feel sorry for 😢

[@lelouchstrife1891]

i think what he was saying earlier can be done but not his way cause he basically ignored everything

[@user-xq8ye2lo2j]

If I had the kind of money that they had I would have the person that built the Challenger Deep sub that went down over 36,000 ft with no problems

[@DiGreatDestroyer]

But those subs are built for 1 pilot and 1 passenger at most. Going past 3 people you can’t use a spherical pressure vessel due to the weight I think, and since OceanGate wanted capacity they made it cylindrical so as to carry five.

[@frederick3147]

one moment he said it safe then the next its dangerous. he disarmed those unindoctrinated passengers by associating with the safety record of his industry but scoffed at the rules that made it safe. then kept referring to the dangers of the depth (duh!) but not the dangers of the sub's design. betcha they knew death was upon them few seconds before implosion. composite pressure vessels make scary cracking popping noise on verge of rupture - that is, composite failure.

[@CherokeeFlutist59]

Thats funny how James Cameron said he made Titanic just to dive the wreck, but in the process made enough bank to go back several times more lol

[@christianpoint0888]

Seen pretty much everything about Oceangate ! This is one of th3 best ! Well done!

[@EmilyKresl]

It's as if billionaires shouldn't disturb the mass gravesite of people who were too poor to get on lifeboats.

[@lolalalia4119]

The irony is glaring. Especially considering the hundreds of poor people lost at sea while everyone else looked for these five.

[@markup6394]

Thats... pretty ridiculous to say, since there was no discrimination to get on the lifeboats.

[@arizona_anime_fan]

Most of the survivors were women and children, of all classes. Unlike the movie there were no gates walling off 3rd class from the rest of the ship, and the third class passengers were able to get into the boats. Most of the men on the titanic died. Victorian honor and all that. Women and children first. The only people who survived getting in the water were people who got pulled out of the water by a lifeboat. Not many

[@EmilyKresl]

@@markup6394 no discrimination at all, that's why there wasn't even enough boats for everyone onboard the ship as we ALL know. Not only were first and second class (crew) first to get on the boats but they didn't even fill the boats to capacity. Of course some third class people survived, but there were no boats left for the rest. And don't tell me women and children first because we all know members of the crew survived, who were all MEN.

[@kiwidiesel]

​@@EmilyKreslNeed a man in the life boat to drive, could you just imagine the carnage if that many woman were allowed to control those boats 😂😂❤

[@Hamdad]

The idea of an oceanic equivalent to SpaceX was a good one. Stockton just wasn't up to the task. The hadal zone isn't for people, in my book. It's a pitch black, ice cold desert suitable only for robots. If we're going to put people in the ocean, let's put them on the continental shelf, within the photic zone where it's safe, warm, bright and pretty.

[@kathduncan9618]

Great production and script - informative and ironic and funny. Subscribed.

[@matchesburn]

This guy took carbon fiber, which he was well used to in his aerospace engineering days, and used it on a deep dive submersible that would be taking dozens of trips to up to 4,000 meters/12,000 feet depths. In carbon fiber. A material that, while strong, is a horrible god-awful material for compression cycling because it causes the layers and fibers to delaminate and get weaker each time you cycle it. Billionaire Richard Branson was competing with film maker James Cameron to dive to the Challenger Deep to see who could do it first. He bought the DeepFlight Challenger from the original owner and initially was going to use it to go to the 5 deepest parts of the ocean. They scaled it back to only using it *_ONCE_* because it was a carbon fiber pressure hull and they knew that any dive past the first one would be on borrowed time and would eventually fail. They didn't even want to do 5 dives with this and this thing was much better designed and manufactured than anything Stockton Rush made. And Stockton took the Titan on... how many dives? Dozens? It's a miracle the carbon fiber hull lasted as long as it did.

"At some point safety is just pure waste." - whenever you hear that from anyone you ever work for, Hand them your two minute notice. Because if they ignore safety then it's just a matter of time before something goes horribly wrong.

"Partnered with Boeing", well there's your problem.

[@skorpion7132]

Its a statement that still makes no sense even if it was true. Both parties were (boeing still is) aeronautics/aviation oriented. None of which has anything to do with UNDER WATER.
