Very coincidental how these guys were under constant assurance that the sub wouldn't fail, just like how the Titanic passengers were under constant assurance that the ship wouldn't sink. It's also ironic how visiting the site of a massive disaster, ended up in disaster itself.
My bet is they de pressurized around the time they lost contact and all died instantly, the sun sank like a rock and is sitting on the bottom. The “knocking sounds” are wishful thinking from a mistaken reading from interference from another ship or human error. Then turned into the big story for hope.
Agreed. Typically sub accidents are sudden, and wholly lethal unless you’re either near immediate assistance and/or near the surface. There’s already been evidence the sub perhaps wasn’t actually entirely capable of that depth. I don’t have high hopes for anyone being alive.
@@lillonerboi504 Yeah, I'm surprised no one in chat brought that up or Charlie not finding it. He brought up the lawsuit about it, but I guess he didn't look too far into it.

I would imagine they're not alive, and the "knocking sounds' you are hearing, like the commentor said above, is just interference from another ship or human error of some kind, and I'm pretty sure that's already happened before with another scenario like this.

Re: the millitary uses game controllers too. Yes, they do. But if that controller fails, no lives are in danger. You just get another one from the stock room and keep flying. What if a controller fails on this sub, are they unable to steer the sub? It's not just the fact it's a game controller, its the context in which it is used, and how "failsafe" it is.
Then your mom says, "sounds good!" and proceeds to bolt you in from the outside (after giving you extra double aa batteries of course) and hauls you into the middle of the ocean before dropping you in. ❤
If they’re lucky they’re dead already, otherwise if they die from oxygen deprivation then that is the most cursed time capsule our species has ever made.
The thing with finding the sub at the bottom of the ocean is we don't have the tech to bring them back in time. There's no way to safely evacuate them from down there, and there's no way to lift the sub as dead weight all the way to the surface. It's a claw game where you have a few hours to invent, manufacture, and deploy the entire claw mechanism. No one is going to win that prize.
they probably felt safe since a civilian sub has never had an accident like this ever. unfortunately this was the deepest the sub had ever gotten, and never once did the people making it ever test "90 hours of life support". the only other time the sub had ever gone underway was when the creator went to 3,000 meters and stayed for about ten hours. on top of that, the team making it didnt hire a single person with a background in military naval submarines. completely fucked from the beginning. these people most likely died in the first hours after contact was lost.
The sub has been down there before. Apparently this is his 5th year of operation or something. There's an interview of a news anchor who did it and felt more secure so he was okay doing it bc nothing bad happened, yet..
@@JarrydTIme Worst part is they did hire a subject matter expert in marine and submarine safety, then fired him for trying to require basic safety mechanisms. He publicized their failure to test their claims, so they sued him.
Turns out that they found a bit of debris on the surface, the window couldn't handle the depth and the sub imploded and they died about 2 1/2 hours after they submerged. That's the Info that I got so sorry if I got anything wrong
Even if the submersible rises, if it's not found, they could all die. It can only be opened from the outside. Finding something on the ocean isn't easy, never mind something white. It definitely should've been painted a different color, like red or orange. Where's Dirk Pitt when you need him.
Yep the fact that there is no escape hatch is beyond me. Imagine going through all that, then rising to the surface just to die because the door wont open.
@@Alexandros.Mograineit really sounds stupid when you think about it, raises to surface for safety and suffocates anyway. Very stupid there's no safety release or way to escape. Even airplanes have that
Overall I blame this incident on the CEO 100%. He was the one denying safety measures and inspections which is so backwards. You would think on such an expensive trip to such a dangerous area safety would be prioritized over everything. Now due to his irresponsible actions, himself and all the other innocent people on the sub are probably either dead or will be soon.
@@asoggyflipflop his staff also needs to share the blame. He didn't build the sub with his bare hands, as he had help. The one guy who criticized the project was fired in 2018. Shame on the rest of the company for continuing with this death project.
It's also a really cheap and mediocre model. At least use a damned Xbox or PS model. Also, to correct Charlie, it is NOT "industry norm." The military doesn't use controllers for MANNED vessels 🤦 That would be insane.
Pick your poison: Suffocating inside the sub at the bottom of the ocean OR Surfacing, but suffocating anyway because the door can't open and no one found your tiny bobbing needle in the haystack that is the ocean First option is more terrifying in a definitive sort of way, since you pretty much know you will die from the second that sub hits the dirt, while the second option is more torturous as you see through the little window the open sky and know the air you can't breathe is mere inches away, but you keep hoping someone will find you in time.
There is a third possibility. You reach the surface on time and are found just before the oxygen runs out, but the rescuers forgot to bring the torque wrench and you die anyway.
No one would sit there on the surface and wait to suffocate. This vessel was a piece of shit put together as a college science project; they would've had no trouble cracking a hole in it. Not that it matters since it imploded and killed them instantly probably at the exact time they lost contact.
So fun fact about 14 years before the titanic existed there was a book by author Morgan Robertson called The wreck of the titan, made about a ship, The Titan, sinking that mirrors what actually happened to the titanic very well right down to being close to the same size and sinking the same way and in the same month, april, at the same time, midnight. Many claim the book basically predicted it. The fact the ceo gave his sea tube(because that's what it is, let's be real) the same name as the fictional ship that sank before the actual titanic sank, on an undersea trip to see the titanic.....nah, you can only tempt fate so much before reality slaps you. They'll be making a Hollywood movie about this stupidity in a few years. Edit: it gets better/worse apparently the ceo's wife is a descendent of a couple that died on the titanic. Isidor and Ida Straus who died in eachothers arms. Probably the most famous victims due to their movie depiction.
You never want to hear the CEO of a deep sea diving company explaining that he built his sub out of duct tape and camping equipment and him declaring that "safety standards are for wimps."
I feel like it’s either a pressure issue on the people inside or they got stuck somewhere during the investigation of the wreckage while they’ve lost contact with someone to launch a rescue operation. Communications are down and the ship/however they got there is gone while they go to explore the ship. Could also have dumb brains in the submarine and aren’t taking any action to get themselves out and back to safety.
Also it sounds stupid to call it “Obscenely safe” when it likely isn’t. It’s also probably not as safe as they say. And did I hear this was being controlled by a Logitech game pad of all things? Well what if that broke and they can’t control the submarine anymore and are stuck down there?
I think they had a power failure or something like that on either the ascent or shortly after losing contact on the descent which would cause them to be carried a few miles, which is why we haven't located their wreckage yet.
@@elpresidente7569 Hopefully they haven’t gone too far from their original destination down in the submersible and they can get rescued… I really do feel for those who might lose their lives over whoever thought the submersible is “100% safe” over someone neglecting the safety precautions needed for the submersible and the dive down there…
I don't want to sound insensitive or anything but who would pay 250k and overlook all the red flags about the guy and the vessel itself to see the relict of the titanic on a monitor screen? am I the only person who doesn't see the appeal?
Yeah, but it just tells you how much of a Scam Artist the CEO really was. He was good at what he did, admittedly, which was scamming people of their money (and now, their lives).
There was an author that wrote about this ship called the Titan, and it was very similar to the titanic but it was written before, it's bad luck to name a sea vessel (sub or ship) after sunken ones.
This is very tragic and deserves attention but the amount of media coverage where I live sickens me. Every month dozens of refugees drown in the mediterranean sea and its barely a side note but when a couple rich tourists go missing on their adventure trip to the fucking titanic the the world needs to know.
No they aren't lmfao they are designed to submurge into water and remain hidden incase of war etc. Some submarines aren't made for war and are made for exploration
Controllers aren’t used for full Submarine controls, whoever said that is a moron. They are often used for Periscopes and aren’t used to control the whole sub. Military does rip off its designs tho, a lot, for like tanks and stuff tho
Even if they find it right this second, they won’t have the ability to lift it to the surface. Not quick enough, at least. They’re bolted in, and only have 14 hours of air left right now. If you do that math, they’re screwed, if not dead from hypoxia
No. Microsoft is a massive name in computers, naturally the government uses similar systems across the board including the military. So in the same way you would plug in an Xbox controller with a USB, so can they. They might also prefer Microsoft being based in the U.S for security concerns.
@@HereIsWisdom1318I doubt they would’ve still been hearing implosion after that many days. The sound would’ve been the debris and the Titanic wreckage slamming into each other
In testing they lost contact around the same point that they did in the real dive, which probably caused the crew of the support boat to call in the search much later than was needed too
Hey all! Sponsoring my own vessel down to see the Titanic and the Titan on my sub called the Tit. Made from the best duck tape in the world, and room for 2 and a half people, starting price is $3.50 or treefiddy for my people of culture 👍🏿
I hope they recorded a video of themselves in the cockpit, so we can find the Ocean gate CEO and see if he had a change of heart on safety in his last moments.
When I heard that the CEO was down there as well, the first thought was: _"Ah, a good ol' sabotage in order to for someone new to take over the company!"_ Then I find out about him cutting corners when it comes to safety... Now I'm thinking: _"Ok, the news people keep repeating that they have ~20 more hours of oxygen left... UNLESS a certain somebody kills the other 4 people... Afaik, that same CEO had the Playstation 5 gamepad in his hands. He probably started swinging it like a flail as soon as he realized this"_ Whatever the result, it's gonna be an interesting scene to behold once they finally open that hatch and take a gander inside. EDIT: Also... remember that there must have been major poopage at least once!
Chances are the carbon fiber body seperated from the aluminum hatches, meaning they died painlessly in a fraction of a fraction of a second, it would have been instantaneous, they wouldnt even know what was happening. From everything I've seen and researched about it, this is one of the dumbest fucking things ive seen in my entire life. It went 1000 meters lower than its previous lowest test depth. Just... fucking incredible. Feel bad for the 19 year old.
I got into an argument with a guy who, for some reason, was defending oceangate tooth and nail saying that the Titan vessel was built and tested to withstand the pressures of those depths. Like he NEEDED to believe that Titan was indestructible or something and that the crew were waiting to be rescued, despite aaaaalllll the reporting of how safety regulations were ignored
They would get something called the bends which fills your blood with nitrogen which then I believe turns into bubbles turning your blood into a toxic mixture. Causes all sorts of bad effects.
Good to know that your blood turning into a toxic mixture causes bad effects, never would have guessed. Jokes aside, it’s still interesting to me to see both the contrasts and similarities between dying in space and deep sea.
I get that you dont care, but zero empathies given JUST because they are rich gives me the feeling that you are a overly political leftist who doesnt feel much empathy for anyone.
@@linkedlord343 How exactly would they go about curing the bends when they're stuck in the middle of the ocean with no medical equipment or personnel? You do realize you literally need a huge hyperbaric recompression chamber to cure the bends right?
Military subs are massive and somewhat safe, you can walk around, obviously has sleeping quarters, and all are obviously tested many times and only hold military personnel, the Titan sub next a military sub would like an ant, the Titan sub went on like 12 dives, others have made hundreds of dives
Navy specialist submersibles are only rated for up to 2-3k feet, this vessle in question was only rated for 4k and the titanic they were supposed to reach is 12.5k. it was a farce from the start.
I agree I think this story is bullshit you’re telling me someone who’s intelligent enough to make a billion dollars & has access to this kind of money couldn’t fake this death?
How ironic that a sub designed to visit the wreck of The Titanic would fail after constant assurance that it wouldn't
Now people have 2 reasons to go visit there. 🎉
How much you wanna bet this was also an insurance fraud? 💀
It's not a submarine, it's a submersible...two completely different vessels.
The fact that the vessels name was ”the titan” makes it even more ironic.

An implosion…an implosion would stop them from surfacing immediately
In testing they lost contact around the same point that they did in the real dive, which probably caused the crew of the support boat to call in the search much later than was needed too
Didn't know that a hobbit could know so much about marine vessels
Its funny how gamers buy super expensive "pro" controllers to play games while army uses the base model to control equipment worth millions
Makes about as much sense as anything. You’d wanna buy the thing you can get the most of in bulk.
Looks like a giant fleshlight.
The controller thing is pretty sick cuz it let’s the younger generation that grew up with this shit intuitively use high level machinery
NEVER EVER name something titanic again. This is the second time.
I think the real lesson here is that we truly are getting the best technology modern science can provide to play Call of Duty
Turns out it just imploded and it seems they knew the whole time ...
The IMMERSIVE Titanic experience!
Using a controller is industry standard, but not wireless controller
Hey all! Sponsoring my own vessel down to see the Titanic and the Titan on my sub called the Tit.
Made from the best duck tape in the world, and room for 2 and a half people, starting price is $3.50 or treefiddy for my people of culture 👍🏿
"Industry standard" my ass. I don't give a shit if it is, I'm not going to let my obituary start with "when the cost of joycon drift gets deadly!"
Sadly, an hour later @hopefulbadger2160 got beaten to death by a rampaging madman who snapped after Joycon drift ruined his perfect run of a game.
I hope they recorded a video of themselves in the cockpit, so we can find the Ocean gate CEO and see if he had a change of heart on safety in his last moments.
I almost wish the CEO survived and didn’t go under, so he could witness the result of his negligence.
They died on sunday and when everyone thought they heard them banging it was actually the sub imploding
The submarine apparently imploded because they found parts of the sub but that's what I heard so not 100% sure because it's the internet
I wonder how many trips this submarine did to ocean floor
"rich people are rich because they are smart"
I mean this story can easily be bullshit you don’t think people with all this money have the power to fake deaths?
Ok guys when are we planning the trip to see the wreckage of the Titan
1:04 because the sub imploded...
They were doomed as soon as a cameraman was not present for this journey
When I heard that the CEO was down there as well, the first thought was:
_"Ah, a good ol' sabotage in order to for someone new to take over the company!"_
Then I find out about him cutting corners when it comes to safety... Now I'm thinking:
_"Ok, the news people keep repeating that they have ~20 more hours of oxygen left... UNLESS a certain somebody kills the other 4 people... Afaik, that same CEO had the Playstation 5 gamepad in his hands. He probably started swinging it like a flail as soon as he realized this"_
Whatever the result, it's gonna be an interesting scene to behold once they finally open that hatch and take a gander inside.
EDIT: Also... remember that there must have been major poopage at least once!
As soon
as they hit the ocean floor they imploded
They are going to make a movie about this and show it back to back with Titanic
Chances are the carbon fiber body seperated from the aluminum hatches, meaning they died painlessly in a fraction of a fraction of a second, it would have been instantaneous, they wouldnt even know what was happening. From everything I've seen and researched about it, this is one of the dumbest fucking things ive seen in my entire life. It went 1000 meters lower than its previous lowest test depth. Just... fucking incredible. Feel bad for the 19 year old.
There was that guy that built a sub and killed a journalist and now this. Homemade submarine is a bad omen
I got into an argument with a guy who, for some reason, was defending oceangate tooth and nail saying that the Titan vessel was built and tested to withstand the pressures of those depths. Like he NEEDED to believe that Titan was indestructible or something and that the crew were waiting to be rescued, despite aaaaalllll the reporting of how safety regulations were ignored
The reason they can’t resurface when they lost communication is because they died almost immediately upon going down into the depths
This sounds like it'd be the plot of a japanese horror movie
Sounds more like insurance fraud like the titanic
The guy that owns Logitech posted a video literally saying that the controller is NOT a good fit to be used for a submarine.
Because you know, the thing I want to hear when it comes to a submersible's construction is "Streamlined"
Dude watched one totk daily build video and went from there.
Man put "safety and security prevent innovation" in a wrong field.
If it was consumer electronics, then it's totally right.
They would get something called the bends which fills your blood with nitrogen which then I believe turns into bubbles turning your blood into a toxic mixture. Causes all sorts of bad effects.
Good to know that your blood turning into a toxic mixture causes bad effects, never would have guessed. Jokes aside, it’s still interesting to me to see both the contrasts and similarities between dying in space and deep sea.
It's about solubilities of gases in your blood at different pressures , bends are fixable .
I get that you dont care, but zero empathies given JUST because they are rich gives me the feeling that you are a overly political leftist who doesnt feel much empathy for anyone.
@@linkedlord343 How exactly would they go about curing the bends when they're stuck in the middle of the ocean with no medical equipment or personnel? You do realize you literally need a huge hyperbaric recompression chamber to cure the bends right?
@@linkedlord343 Oh okay. Thanks for letting me know the difference.
Sounds the world's most ludicrous scam
It imploded because the sheet metal it was made from came from lowes
And not home depot
19:48 LMAO criss cross apple sauce bruh charlie the stuff you say I swear lmao
After WW3: Turbo Buttons are against new geneva convention
Military subs are massive and somewhat safe, you can walk around, obviously has sleeping quarters, and all are obviously tested many times and only hold military personnel, the Titan sub next a military sub would like an ant, the Titan sub went on like 12 dives, others have made hundreds of dives
I can't believe they bang when they are stuck deep underwater.
Describing it as if we could randomly spot it
Navy specialist submersibles are only rated for up to 2-3k feet, this vessle in question was only rated for 4k and the titanic they were supposed to reach is 12.5k. it was a farce from the start.
2-3k METRES. Not feet titan was 4k metres and the Titanic is 12,500 feet which is less than 4k metres but yes u are so smart for sure
Massive lawsuit in coming.
It's so unreal that it just seems like they were trying to disappear.
I agree I think this story is bullshit you’re telling me someone who’s intelligent enough to make a billion dollars & has access to this kind of money couldn’t fake this death?
The titan is gonna get saved by "the ic" they are becoming the second titanic
I know that it may be in poor taste to say this but it’s literally Iron Lung in real life
My question is why did the think the titanic was worth seeing
