I’ve never seen anybody look more like an adventurer than this guy 😄
Yep. He’s done it all too. Space, bottom of the ocean, Mt Everest.
He looks like a real life Captain Nemo from 20,000 leagues under the sea 😄
He looks like he feels the lions roar deep in his many scrotums.
Exactly what I thought. I bet he has a large amount of Viking DNA
@@racheldixon387 vascovo is Italian word I bet Columbus is his ancestor
Mr Victor could pass for a movie star..from the old days!!!☀️🤩
He’s handsome 😍
when he's handsome & intelligent. wombo-combo lol
Handsome man but aging quite fast. He was born in 1966…not 1946 as he looks. I wonder if it’s hazards of the job? Paul Rudd is only 3 years younger but looks 30 years younger. Obama is 5 years older. Anyways how he looks isn’t important, what a brilliant man
That's one handsome dude. Some hair!
I thought I was the only one to notice. I wonder how he'd look with shorter hair and no beard.
this is the modern renaissance man, super educated, highly experienced and driven. Dude sees what he wants, and figures out a way to make it happen.. You have to respect someone who knows how to play the game but does so in an ethical and responsible way.
I love this guy. He’s straightforward, honest and to the point.
Mr Vesovo has done it all. He has degrees from Stanford, MIT, and Harvard. Worked twenty years in intelligenge for the navy. He has climbed the highest peak on each of the seven continents, has cross country skied to both the north and south poles. He is an ultra succesful investor. He hired a company to design and build a sub that could go to the bottom of the marianas trench. He has been to the lowest point of all the worlds oceans. And to top it off he has been to soace.
Wow I didn’t know all that ; I watched his doc about discovery of the USS Samuel B Roberts a few days ago and was impressed.
Apparently from the this comments section on this video , among the accomplishments you’ve listed he is also a silver fox when he cleans up for news interviews haha
He is the real deal! The real 007
So he’s the guy from the Dos Equis commercials.. “the most interesting man in the world”
Correct, people just see this pony tailed dude and think he is some random crazy rich guy out playing with his toys, until you take some time to google his history and what he has accomplished, inspiring man.
I consider most of that list to be completely empty accomplishments no different than crediting someone for a world speed record in a Mario game.
This man is the real deal folks-- intelligent, rich and cares about the environment
*gets on private jet*
Mr Vescovo is quite the accomplished individual. I am glad we were able to hear his opinion on this. Condolences to his fellow explorers. Such a shame.
Victor looks absolutely stunning he could be a model or something like that.
Smart guy and makes a lot of sense. OceanGate was too experimental and skipped safety regulations to have people onboard. Hopefully a huge lesson learned here!
The people on board were the only ones that needed to learn a lesson.
Everyone else saw this coming.
@@itwasaliens Yea I guess you're right. The 19 year old was hesitant though. He wanted to please his father.
@1234Brad that's what is so sad. He had his whole life ahead of him.
@@tracyparker550 Yes I'm very sad for him. For some reason I can't stop thinking of this tragedy.
@@1234Brad - Yes, the 19 year old kid is the only person on board I felt sympathy for. His father should have know better.
Well spoken guy, a shame how obviously preventable all this was.
He's been in the ocean so many times, his eyes have turned into the same color
such a foolish comment.
A very deeply destructive comment that will cause universal rage and destroy his family.
i thought the same thing!
he literally looks like an explorer from the movies. whether its jungle,mountains the sea or space exploration movies
And he's actually been all those places
There a CZcams video on the work and certification that went into his sub. The cockpit was a titanium sphere that was pressure tested to 43000 feet (deeper than the Mariana Trench), and it was extremely complex. The Titan was a Yugo by comparison.
Back To The Titanic features his ship and his sub. Also him diving to the Titanic. Watching it at the moment.
It's on Disney Plus
More like a salvage title Ford Pinto
$100 million DSV triton36000/2 v.s the $5 million titan im sure Triton enterprise just moped up all oceangate customers
There’s video on how his submersible has made, AMAZING engineering… the “cockpit” was a tank! Search for it, it’s a 20 minutes video here on YT. Beautiful
Dudes in shape with beards winning at all ages!
He looks like Poseidon😮
You could tell he wanted to talk very badly about Stockton Rush and Oceangate, however he restrained himself. Very impressed with his restraint... much better than I could ever do.
It shows how honorable he is that he isn't speaking ill of the dead even though Rush deserves it.
This is such a fascinating turn of events. The ocean is so vast and so much of it has not been explored. This definitely spawned curiousity in scientists and everyday people just to see what is out there. My heart goes out to the families of those lost with the Titan.
So true. I look forward to future deep sea exploration, but of course, safety first!
I appreciate Victor's candor on this very touchy subject now that Titan is gone. The ocean is so vast and so much is still unknown. I can see why people would be curious and want to board the Titan to explore.
He was in the Mariana Trench in a two man submersible together with Hamish Harding, one of the passangers of the Titan submersible.
who was advised by an industry expert not to go.
@@somedumbozzie1539 That's what I just can't understand. I know very little about physics or engineering but after watching a few YT videos trying to explain the science in the wake of the disaster I've gathered enough to understand what Rush was trying to do and why it was not just risky, but actually reckless. So here's this billionaire who has already experienced first hand what deep sea exploration done right looks like, who is a personal friend of a leader in the field who is telling you why this is a bad idea, and who has enough money to go on any of the other submersibles who do trips to the Titanic but are actually certified. If James Cameron found a way to go 33 times, then so could this guy. Nearly everyone now is blaming Rush for taking paying customers, but I have to wonder what kind of personal responsibility should be assumed by those with him.
Mr. Vescovo is absolutely correct! I’ve been watching his work and videos since the gateway submersible tragedy. He’s truly a genius!
Victor is a handsome man. Beautiful blue eyes ❤
R u one of those who only watches his charmness than his opinions?
😂😂😂
This guy looks like Zeus
Victor Vescovo is very impressive. A world explorer who also has the brains to back it up. Read his wikipedia page. Amazing! I'd rather travel with the calculated one than some reckless maverick RIP TITAN passengers
Stockton wasnt maverick. He was macgyver….
Carbon fibre has _tensile_ strength, but the forces from water pressure acting on the Titan were _compressive._ It is likely that the binder alone gave the hull its compressive strength with fibre holding it together to prevent cracking. The junction of the carbon fibre, titanium and the glue that bonded them was a weak point with different rates of expansion and contraction. Glue that is elastic at room temperature is likely brittle in cold water. These materials were bound to detach from one another. What is surprising is not that the vessel failed, but that it managed to remain intact for as long as it did.
It took nearly a cylinder of propane to remove half a dozen tiles that were glued to a backing board. The more heat that was applied the harder they stuck. But when the temperature dropped to near freezing hundreds were popped off with virtually no effort. With minute flexing of the hull of the Titan the bond of the glue would have broken.
Yup ppl see air/co2 carbon tanks and think "see it handles crazy his psi. In TENSION not compresson. Also its not a homogeneous material its a composite material=no reall data on reusing under those pressures. What i think happened the titanium to carbon joint the glued up in a open warehouse without dust extraction or any real way to check that joint. So my guess the carbon moved more every dive eventually cracking on that seam and b4 they could react BOOM implosion
For some reason I can see him as King Triton... 👑🧜♂️
He looks like an actor.
Obviously a very intelligent, articulate man with deep knowledge on the topic. These folks need to come forward and clarify so this event doesn’t drag down funding and other needed resources for deep water exploration.
this bloke seems to be sensible, unlike captain crunch.
This guy looks like the most interesting man in the world
Victor Vescovo has been an inspiration for me for many many years. Cheers
Smart man that makes a lot of sense. This tragedy was preventable, my thoughts go out to all the families.
Very well spoken. This guy gets the risk are there but when done correctly it is a safe way to study and explore.
I think when the guy was building the business he realized it was going to be nearly impossible to make any profit, so he cut every possible corner and rushed everything, and anyone who tried to talk to him about safety and testing was just getting in his way
I think your guess is correct. However he did miss a major point. His sub cannot have a major accident. Noone will buy ticket for his trip if they have any fatal accident.
Just like James Cameron.. this guy is a legend!
What a well spoken guy
I don't have any words. RIP
He is gigachad.
This guy said it so I can understand what happened. Very articulate and he knows his audience. I tip my hat to you Victor. Great Interview. 🙂
My Godddd !!!! How beautiiifulll is this man !!!!!!
Thank you for having Mr Victor, how inteligente!
Perfectly stated in the operations within a submersible in order to ensure the safety aspect of it is exercised whenever a submersible is in operation.
Why not a camera laced drone that can provide high definition imagery???
What makes viewing the ocean feom the confines of a submarine with a limited window any more valuable than viewing it through 360° high definition imagery?
The submersible should have made only one trip. Each time it went down its integrity declined. OceanGate (the CEO and owner) knew this and still went down, this doesn't make the CEO some sort of hero. OceanGate cut more then just one corner, they openly mocked safety standards, displayed pride in low cost materials and were completely negligent by concealing all facts and data from 4 people while shoving a waiver in front of them and taking thousands of dollars from them. The submersible imploded when they lost contact with the ship an hour and 45 minutes after they started to desend. The Navy and the government knew this. My heart aches for families dealing with such a horrific loss. Personally I don't think tourists should set standards for such exploration. Not when there appears to be so many legal loopholes for companies building ships like this submersible.
He looks like an action movie star.
Mr. Victor looks like a Sean Connery
He looks like Sandokan (Kabir Bedi)
So sad… RIP to all those affected… But this guy/ speaker is wonderful…
Titian look like a banana boat compared to victor and Cameron’s submersible. So sad. Unnecessary tragedy.
Lol
So sad to know how reckless of the owner to allow people in there and put their lives in jeopardy.
and that what make me upset, the short cuts that were made and to have paying passenger on that vessel is mind blowing.
Victor is the authority on this subject, amazingly smart and accomplished guy
In a nutshell (Victor) made more sense of the week's tragedy, it's need and importance of ocean diving 👏🏻 0:01
What a logical, level headed and intelligent man.
A real Aquaman
The Titanic site is a gravesite. We need to respect that and leave that alone.
The bodies of the crew are intact, but might never be found. Under a pressure of six thousand pounds per square inch at that depth substances that are gas on the surface become liquefied. Flesh saturated with water only shrinks to the extent that gas is turned to liquid. The bodies are somewhat flattened, but remain intact. Solids and liquids do not compress at that level of pressure. If the clothes they are wearing are lighter than the water that they displace their bodies should rise upwards and drift with the current. If heavier, they will sink to the floor of the ocean and should be in the vicinity of the field of debris.
It's not a grave site. The bodies from Titanic are long gone, including the skeletons. There is no sign that there were even people there except for clothing and shoes.
Whoa, Victor Vescovo looks like Lucius Malfoy
Expedition Deep Ocean was one of the best documentaries I have ever seen and yet I cannot find it anywhere either to rent or buy.
He still look good dam😮
Wow Victor looks like something out of a adventurous Novel.😊
Love them shoes she is wearing.❤
I love him! He is perfect person ❤️
When you look at the great lengths Victor Vescovo and Triton submarines went through to certify that vehicle, you come away with great respect for the project.
The level of research, manufacturing and testing they went through to build that vehicle, is second to none.
This tragedy should serve as a reminder of why you need to test, test, test if you want to deviate from conventional tried and true methods of manufacturing.
Had four others not lost their lives this tragically, Rush could have been nominated for a Darwin award.
He is there...on camera...bragging about skirting protocols in the name of speeding up the processes...an action which would ultimately lead to his demise.
I tell you one thing, no one will ever have to worry about me getting on anything with "Titan" anywhere in the name.
* No Titanic II
* No Titan II
* No Titanibus
* No Mad Titan
* No Titanical
* NOTHING!!
This man is extremely beautiful. Naturally.
😮 thank you viktor!
I’m surprised. Mr. Victor is like a model or some Hollywood star.
Hashtag genetics.
My favorite sound byte from James Cameron's interview "it's just engineering"
I expected this man to be gracious and not just jump on the band wagon of hate and ignorance and..... he didn't disappoint. And that is precisely why he HASN'T been asked as much about Oceangate's disaster as someone else who has not achieved nearly as much - but is infinitely more arrogant and self-righteous!
Crazy how the ceo of ocean gate killed 4 people
How cute he is.
Mr Vescovo = The most interesting man in the world.
I cannot get over how handsome this gentleman Is
The whole situation is sad Rip 🙏
My dude looks cool and adventurous 💀
No. Never with customers.
This man is clearly the most interesting man on earth.
OMG! I find a striking difference between listening to Victor Vescovo’s intelligence versus listening to Stockton Rush III’s arrogance.
Very handsome man wow…
I agree with him
Vescovo is one of my personal Hero's
Thank you so much Trevor! That is very kind.
@@victorvescovo5773 you inspire me! Can’t wait to see your next adventure.
vick was so worried about what might happen that he told hames not to go in the sub the rest is history
Victor is LEGIT
Wow he’s beautiful.. his eyes are like the ocean.. he looks like he could be the King of Atlantis. Sorry but I’m struck by his personality.
He is married
The ponytail seals the deal: this man is either a real-life Bond villain or Bond hero.
Victors a cool dude
He looks like if George Clooney played Saruman.
That is hilarious. As a huge Lord of the Rings fan, I will take it as a compliment?
Science is one thing. Tourism is something else. One thing is directed toward research, while the other is directed toward the dollar and ego.
The chic in the red and white dress is pure 🔥🔥
Oceangate used a Logitech PC controller to operate the sub soo that should have been red flags already. Also....since the ship was made out of carbon fiber materials; which isn't an industry standard and they should have closely looked at the wear and tear of those plates.
Logitech PC controller, one among many shortcuts taken.
Nobody asks why we need to send people to these areas, whether deep space or the depths. All this work can be done remotely and with cameras. What was the bill for this attempted rescue and the subsequent enquiry?
"unwise" ahhh... the formal way of saying "stupid"
so he forgot to mention to his friends that this is a deathtrap?
Most insane thing is that Victors submersible can withstand pressure of 14000m deep, they went to 10900m without problem
Ok, so any volunteries for next dive ?
Probably unwise? The fact that it was unwise seems self-evident.
One of the bluest eyes I’ve ever seen.
Having read & listened to the post Titan tradegy, the comments, analysis and theories by engineering deep sea experts, it seemed to me to be an accident waiting to happen. Chiefly, driven by a buccaneering CEO adventurer in persuit of a dream as well as commercial endowment, and fuelled by personal ego, who disregarded well established protocols and rules based on verifiable principles and design of deep sea vessels, to build an amateurish questionable vessel (that attracted prior warnings) to satify his personal quest and achieve a monetary reward. For passengers it was a 8 hr trip of a lifetime ($250k a go), but ended in a one way lifetime voyage into eternity. A sad case of history repeating itself, the unsinkable Titanic! - human hubris! Stockton Rush said life isn't without risks, but unfortunately he imposed that on others as well as himself! RIP everyone.😮
An accident waiting to happen. Well said
I thought it was Sean Connery at first.
If you knew some people on board did you warn them?
What does Canada have to say about this? While the missions took place in international waters, they were launched from
Canada.
"What pushes them is a great curiosity..." Likely also an unconscious death wish that includes having others present. Tisk, tisk...should have gotten a little psychotherapy back in Princeton to get that ego in check. What kind of scientist exactly was this Rush guy?
I completely agree,and thought the same.
He had an engineering degree from Princeton...the guy was not stupid. His problem was, as you said, his ego. He was too full of himself and overconfident.
...he is the most interesting man in the world.
