- The 23,000-pound Titan vessel, owned by OceanGate Expeditions, went off the radar about one hour and 45 minutes into its descent off the coast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, on June 18, 2023. For days, the world could only imagine the grim scene: five men cramped in a cold, dark tube, knowing that they were about to run out of air. In reality, those aboard the Titan submersible most likely died instantaneously in what officials called a "catastrophic implosion." On board are five passengers, including Hamish Harding, a British businessman, aviator, and space tourist. He had previously descended into the Mariana Trench, broken the Guinness World Record for a circumnavigation of the Earth, and flown into space. Paul-Henri Nargeolet, a former French Navy commander, diver, submersible pilot, member of the French Institute for Research and Exploitation of the Sea, and director of underwater research for E/M Group and RMS Titanic, Inc., which owns salvage rights to the wreckage site. Nargeolet led more than 35 expeditions to the wreck, supervised the recovery of thousands of artifacts, and was widely considered the leading authority on the wreck site. Shahzada Dawood, a Pakistani-British businessman. He was one of the wealthiest people in Pakistan and was joined by his son, Suleman. And Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, the company leading the expedition.

There's a reason why this story has fascinated the world over. A nightmarish scenario in a tiny submersible with rich people on board. One thing is for certain. Safety is not a waste. Rush was like any explorer. If there wasn't men like him, humans wouldn't had discovered new lands, uncover earth's mysteries, etc. But unlike these earlier explorers, there were plenty of evidence of what happens when you don't follow proper protocols. He paid the price. Just horrible that others had to pay that price with him.
RIP to all that have pershised and I pray for their families to have peace and have solace in knowing their loved ones didn't suffer.
SAFETY IS A PURE WASTE LOL SO FUCKING STUPID LOL YOU JUST CAN'T FAKE STUPID LOL
So many scum bags cashing in on this tragedy totally ignoring the families time for grieving, no consideration for them at all, bottom feeders. I hope you lose subs.
You could've done this video in half the time. It's an insult to our intelligence seeing how far you can stretch this.
The same mind boggling arrogance that sunk the Titanic sunk Triton.
Absolutely. I was definitely foreshadowing with Titanic part of the video.
Outstanding video! Thank you so much! A terrible tragedy indeed. But considering how unconcerned he was about safety, not unexpected. Yikes!
Titan was crushed like a soda can, per the simulation by CBS.
Titan, not Triton
Titan
I get a Billionaire businessman being convinced this was safe but I do not understand the other 2 men with deep diving experience. They had to know going down in this experimental vessel was not the best idea. That’s what I can’t wrap my head around.
Exactly. This guy was a glorifier. He thought he had figured out how to short-cut the diving community.
Only thing I could think of is since the Titan reached the Titanic twice before, Rush was confident and believed the expedition would go smoothly again. And being that Rush is the CEO of the company and is making the dive with them, the others felt confident that he wouldn't go down if it wasn't safe.
And it wasn't certified...
@@outdoordisastersbut the researchers should know that the boat was made of carbon fibres that eventually can fail, it had cheap technology inside and no certification....( the last thing should be the most important for researchers)
There’s something to be said about having done something so many times that you become complacent and don’t question anything anymore. Their complacency was what got the better of them.
My Dad is a retired Submariner. We first heard about this when he was at my house. As soon as he heard that they had lost communications, he calmly looked up from his book and said, "They're gone." I was holding out hope but...yup...unfortunately, he was right...
Hard to believe that all those news stations we’re saying that there is hope,that they’re searching for them and all that..but all veterans and experts (like your dad) knew immediately that there was nothing anyone could have done. Truly terrifying to think about right?
Did he go down with 50 men and come up with 25 couples?🤡
I think we all hoped, but deep down knew the truth of it.
I really don't give a rat's ass either way!
@@billschnelzer9943 Really? How WOULD you give a "rats ass"? Even if you wanted to? I'm curious...
“Safety is a pure waste,” definitely defines the wrong mentality of any exploration. Talk about not learning the harsh lessons of the Titanic.
I'm convinced that SR was the reincarnation of Bruce Ismay and he just can't seem to learn his lesson. Wonder how many times he is doomed to repeat it.
@@mmason9836 Or Edward Smith
glad he didn't designs cars
There's something old-fashioned-sounding about this narration style that I love. Well written too, and swiftly delivered. Also I love the hokey touch of that pause always in the last line: ..."to help prevent...PAUSE...an outdoor disaster!" Great stuff. Thank you.
I like the narrating, very soothing on a night
Brazen disregard for human life. Poor kid, 19 terrified but wanted to please his dad. Senseless.
The hatch is closed from the outside and sealed with 17 bolts, therefore cannot be opened from the inside. Sounds like a suicide mission to me.
I'm a former pro-skydiver and there's a difference between calculated risks and this...
At least you can have a back up chute. No back up plan for being crushed.
@dogwatcher144 you're right about that, although one time my second parachute wouldn't come out after I had cut away a malfunctioning main parachute due to too much PSI on the handle...
I am not qualified in anything significant and I recognize that.
@@tiffanyray5360obviously you survived that….did you have a third parachute?
@nicolaxoxo1 I ultimately had to wrench my body back and forth, arching and dearching, to create enough force to get the handle out. It popped way too low, maybe @ 1000ft. I had just enough time to get the handles down to flare for landing...
He wasn’t gasping for breath. He died before he realised he was dead.
Great video as always. I don’t care much about adults who decided to risk their lives on their own. I am sad for the boy who was forced to ride this ill fated trip despite his objections.
His mother gave an interview and said he was really excited to go.
This is false information. The kid was taking a rubiks cube with him. He already set up the guinesses book of world records to submit the deepest solving of a rubiks cube. His mother was actually supposed to go but the kid wanted to go so bad she let him
@@codyking4342 thanks I was just gonna post the same correction
Some people have given themselves permission to see the site of the Titanic turned into a money-making tourist destination adventure for their own greed and so rich people have conversation-starters at their fancy dinner parties. Gross!
actually they were all misled & lied to by Rush
“Safety is a waste…” Famous lost/last words. Not a Rush to judgment - just the hubris of a small, closed mind.
and now he's waste, too bad he took others with him
Outdoor Disasters nailed it as usual. I watched some other videos about this event but this video was just a better watch. Rush saying safety is a "waste" makes it hard to have any sympathy for him.
Always appreciate your kind words OJ! Rush to me seemed like a great guy. He's like any explorer. If there wasn't men like him, humans wouldn't had discovered new lands, uncover earth's mysteries, etc. But unlike these earlier explorers, there were plenty of evidence of what happens when you don't follow proper protocols. He paid the price. Just sucks that others had to pay that price with him.
Most of the people that are sympathetic to the non-explorer involved, Sulemon. Seemed like a son just trying to spend time with his dad and share in something his dad was passionate about. The others were older men (like myself) that had lived most of their lives and Sulemon hadn't even started his. His story is the one that breaks the hearts of many that hear about it. Thank you for this video and the explanation of this horrible disaster. Blessings to you.
@@outdoordisastersI got the sense he was a great guy too but not when it came to putting your best interest at heart. He was more into self glorification and boasting about how he short-cut the submersible community culture. He wanted people to think his way of thinking was the the right way.
@@ralphalvarez5465 Absolutely. The reason why I dedicated a good part at the end to Suleman.
Rush was a daredevil which is something I admire, however, when you are a daredevil you don't take paying customers with you without strict adherence to safety protocols. His arrogance led to this tragedy.
Thank you for the implosion simulation. It’s pretty much what I thought. I never believed that they were stranded on the ocean floor. One hour and 45 minutes into their descent is when it happened. As soon as comms were lost. Like with an airplane..when it disappears off the radar and all comms stop….it almost always means that something bad happened.
Yes I reckon it happened when comes were lost too.
Generally, when communication is lost, it does not necessarily mean that a disaster has occurred. Usually, the explanation is more benign - and the Titan had a history of losing comm. So this alone was not particularly worrisome. That is why those on the mother ship waited until the Titan was due to surface hours later before calling the Coast Guard to report it lost. The more ominous factor was the failure of the navigation system (which tracked the Titan's location) which, when coupled with the loss of comms, indicated that an implosion had likely occurred.
@@invernessity I'm going on what the officials said that at the point of communication being lost,,, they had heard sounds that they thought may have been an implosion...& they would know...they are the experts.
Agreed. The hopes were based on previous consultation losses, which seemed quiet regular.
The single fact that we know more about the universe than our oceanic bottom is enough for us to foresee that areas deeper than the oceanic twilight zone doesn’t belong to the hospitality industry.
A whistleblower (previous employee) who sued the company testified that the glass of the porthole was only rated to 1300 meters…if thats true then anyone who knew of should be charged with attempted manslaughter
I think in the end the company will be and a whole lot more
Yes you can take risks but not with others. Pure ego and narcissism played into this.
Thank you. I appreciate the audible narration, clear and well done. Stockton Rush definitely cut corners. He sounded impatient with standards, rules, and safety concerns.If it was about fame, he sure has "fame" now. But not necessarily all positive.
A psychologist said he exhibited classical signs of self glorification.
He is "infamous" now
im sure he also had other solid character flaws, like possibly being an ego-maniac seeking fame and glory. "know it all" syndrome, etc.
The only death that was deserved in this tragedy was Stockton Rush. To charge a quarter million and side step safety protocols should not even be a thing that could happen.
Agreed. What an arrogant jerk he was, those poor people who trusted him :(
Yes. Especially the way he pressed and sold people on the trips.
Agreed, it should have been shut down and safety enforced.
I think is so sad that if the father & son, the son was scared & didn't want to go...but went to please his dad.😪
He ignored all safety protocols , he was delusional and this sub was poorly made ( DIY) of a real sub, really.
It was cheaply made ( not even by experienced engineers only by kids that had no idea about it), wrong materials ( carbon fibres, metal glued window - it was like prototype) so it imploded because those materials started to delaminate. It also had no certification - huge red flag. I feel sad for that 19 year old boy - if his father wouldn't pressure him, he would be alive as he wouldn't go.
Those previous passengers who successfully rode this death trap to the depths and lived. What a memory , both seeing Titanic and cheating death ☠️. Bravo
It’s about time the titanic was left to rest 👍
Stockton Rush was driven by ego and likely financial pressures. However, it's surprising to me that Paul-Henri Nargeolet participated in most if not all dives, given his vast experience with deep diving technologies. We'll learn a lot more when authorities release interviews with staff on the Polar Prince support vehicle.
Yes I agree, their had been two men that could/should have stopped this but they didn’t! Why is all I want to know! Rush being dead I have so tears.
Same here. I was shocked when i heard he was on the sub. Of all the people why would he agree to go in such a sketchy sub?? He of all people should have seen the red flags.
From what I've heard, P.H. Nargeolet was known for being an expert on the Titanic wreck itself, not on submarine or submersible design.
@@bigbrowntabby118same I saw a video where he expressed safety concerns but he had salvage rights to the Titanic. Perhaps, he knew he was taking a risk for his cause.
You really highlighted the corners that were cut. Seems unreal that anyone would ignore established safety standards and protocols. Just like the titanic not having enough life boats for everyone at the time, I’m sure this will lead to more enforceable regulations for those that wish to side step them.
Oh for sure. I'm sure no one will ever try to circumvent safety will these types of crafts ever again. Always appreciate your comments Trevor!
I really enjoyed this, thank you very much for giving us a non biased opinion on this horrific accident
"Safety is a total waste". Amazing philosophy, I hope he told thaat same phrase to everyone who ever stepped in that can.
"Designed to go 4000m". Claimed to go that deep. But not properly designed, to go that depth, repeatedly. As found, "the hard way", in recent days (late June 2023).
To indicate Stockton Rush's ability as an engineer, were his comments on safety, as a binary option. Any competent engineer, will tell you that numbers matter ! Its not "yes" or "no". There are different levels of safety. Yes, you can slip in your bathroom, and get "brained" against your bathtub. And you can also survive running across a freeway. But the level of safety between these two scenarios, have vastly different NUMERIC levels of survivability ! Numbers matter. I have money, and so does Bill Gates, the amount matters.
Regulation, does not guarantee safety. Government official often can be the biggest idiots. But you really have understand the physics, and the properties of materials. Carbon fiber is great in tension, but not in compression. Rush apparently didn't see the difference. And if he thought he knew better, then he should have run experiments, including many repeat cycles, to test for "fatigue". But he didn't ! If you don't know, that's fine. You "ask mother nature", by running experiments.
Well said!
Clearly it WAS NOT designed to go that deep 😂
@@Woodman-Spare-that-tree it can ONCE, with each dive carbon fiber becomes weaker that was the demise
I totally agree on the regulation issue - if anything Physics is self-regulatory - and yes getting certified is important - but that doesn't guarantee success. They were lucky it didn't happen sooner.
Well why do you think Mr. Rush built such a big toy? Something to prove with that massive attitude to compensate for such little parts. Doesn’t look like anything has changed here!
Extremely well-done, informative and most of all, a respectful video.
Thank you.
Rest in peace so sorry for them specially the 19y/o 😢 he would have so much ahead 💔
😢🙏🙏❤️
God bless the victims. At least it was 'instant' 🙏🏻
My condolences to the victim's families. What a shame 😔
Three mistakes ..oceangate as a name..Titan as a name
.. and believing they were so innovative that the experts wouldn't understand
He didn't take stock of the warnings and rushed in like the fool he was at the cost of others
Lol I got it
Does this Elvis song apply?:
- ...Wise men say
Only fools rush in....
The Narrator is very eloquent in describing the Submersible disaster. It's so tragic that these brilliant people have lost their lives. My condolences to their families.
🙏🙏❤️
So happy to have another video! Love your coverage. Love the respect you have and show for each event and person you cover. Man, I can’t wait to see this channel blow up.
Thank you so much Aaron! Always appreciate your kind words. No matter what we believe, all of the victims seemed like great men and definitely didn't deserve this fate. Even Rush.
@@outdoordisasters I couldn’t agree more! Nobody sets out on an expedition or adventure, hoping for or expecting tragedy. You’re such a phenomenal content creator. I’m so proud to be part of this channel and your climb up the “ranks.(?)” You truly seem to understand how to deliver phenomenal content. And again, you are always so respectful. That’s so important to me. I appreciate you. Very much. Keep it up, my friend!

Finally. I got the full story. Thanks for your time to research this fully.
No problem!
Horrific🙏🙏❤️
RIP to all those in that submersible, but especially to that young man that came along with his father. Trippy that his mother was actually the one supposed to go on but she switched with her son. Feel so bad for her and the rest of the family.
A narcissistic and reckless entrepreneur killed himself and four other people, a small Titanic. Tragic.
Paul Henry had no business being on that glorified coke can.
I would like to think he knew better AFTER all that experience.
Sounds fishy to me.
I read that this thing was built with things you can buy at Home Depot , I also read that they used ,used scaffolding tubes to build it also.
It was doomed from the start and that millionaire that dropped at the last minute did the right thing going with his gut .
David Lochridge goes on to live his life able to look at himself in the mirror as for who ever terminated him, well......
So many safety protocols deliberately sidestepped. I think the worst was that the viewing portal had a pressure rating depth of only 1300 meters but the Titanic lays on the ocean floor at twice that depth. I can not fathom Rush's arrogance in thinking he new better than everyone else, that rules and protocols did not apply to him. He was undeserving of the trust people placed in him. I am thankful that it was an instantaneous death for all on board and so sorry for the unnecessary loss of life, espcially of Suleman Dawood who had no choice about being on that vessel.
'For all its beauty and splendour...' I am a fan of your narrative.
Your implosion graphic was accurate. If there was no previous evidence of trouble such as sounds or leaks, then they didn’t even know they died. Their brains didn’t have time to understand what happened. And all traces of their bodies have been reduced to particles so the idea of recovery as some have suggested is non informed and non existent.
My coworker thinks they all faked their death 🙄 it angers me that he was so careless & arrogant, he killed 4 innocent people, that poor kid was so scared but went anyway. How could you be so careless with other peoples lives? How can someone refuse to have it tested & checked by professionals, he was warned that it wasn’t safe & he fired the guy. Now he’s dead, along with the 4 innocent souls he took with him. I can’t stand people that don’t listen to reason & think they’re always right.
Your coworker sounds like the people thinking the Titan was sabotaged on purpose.
re: the co-worker; da faq?
@@JoeyMartz oh sorry we missed the fucking dash. CO-WORKER. Better? I mean it’s not like u didn’t know wtf I meant.
@@GLoLChibs I actually haven’t heard that theory, interesting 🤔. Cuz hadn’t the titan already been down by the titanic several times? Why did it implode this time & not the other times?
@@64nessa Yeah it had been, which is why I can't fault the people that chose to go when it looked sketchy. Most people, whether they want to admit it or not, would look at the history of successful dives and figure it's safe, apply the odds of being the passenger on an unlucky flight when there's a long history of successful flights. Why it imploded this time is because CF and the other materials used erode from sea water faster. Each dive down wore at the integrity of the Titan.
This is the best explanation of what happened. Thank you for such detailed work.
Regardless of differing opinions, lives were lost. May they rest in peace.
🙏🙏❤️
Your channel is growing and I'm so happy for you. Great video as usual.
❤️❤️
You are my favorite channel and have enjoyed all your videos!!!! I haven't even watched this video but decided to comment because of your ability to produce this content in such a short time after the incident.👍 Have a great day.
Thank you so much! Definitely been working on this for a few days. But didn't want to compromise the quality by just putting something out. I know some of my fellow creators released some great content on this event earlier.
What he made was pretty dumb but actually worked for himself. Why he thought he could reuse it and take passengers from the public is insanely negligent. Placing all safety in a acoustic stress system he never even tested. The knowledgeable Frenchman must have had a death wish because he apparently would have known not to trust anything about this. It's like they wanted to go but wanted life insurance to pay out or something
The Frenchman had some type of affiliation with OceanGate. You can see him in pictures with the OceanGate crew on previous dives.
Not sure if you are joking about the death wish, but I really think this was a legit suicide mission.
I was thinking the same thing
@@itwasaliensnonsense
Stockton Rush tested the flaws in his design with 5 passengers on board they probably had no conscious awareness of being destroyed in a millisecond
To think that there are people that would willingly get sealed into what is essentially a coffin with no way to escape.....I could never. The very thought makes me horribly claustrophobic. 😢😮
The only saving grace was he and his passengers were instantly vaporized when the hull gave in and the sub imploded !!!
A blessing really I think that they didn't run out of oxygen..it was better they went this way.. instantaneous, not knowing a thing about the disaster...I hope.🙏😪
The oxygen probably made the explosion even more extreme.
Dude thought we were going to colonize the ocean and said things like “safety is a pure waste.” Never would have guessed that things would end badly. /s
Some day deep sea tours will be perfected and people will take a tour to go see the wreckage of a tour that went to see the wreckage of the Titanic.
They should make a mock Titan crash sight but with most of the parts in tact but blown apart sitting on the bottom.
Space and the deep seas are two areas where humans are just not supposed to be in.I don’t think exploration will ever be ‘perfected’. Just way too many things that can potentially go wrong , along with the overall costs (which was definitely something at the forefront of Rush’s mind- cost and how to cut corners)
@@PFlaw317 cost eventually comes down as the tech catches up and is mass produced similar to the computer and the cell phone. Before ships and airplanes people probably said we weren't suppose to explore the oceans or take flight either.
I wouldve given everything I own to ask Stockton Rush: "Explain to me HOW exactly man will colonize the ocean bottom before colonizing space; explain it as if you were speaking to a child."
Well done as usual !! There are risks worth taking in life..like there are battles worth fighting.. those are personal decisions..who are to judge individual choices?
Totally agree.
This. The only one at fault is Rush. Sometimes personal choice has tragic results. I view these men the same as people who go surfing in shark infested waters, skydive, bungee jump, scale mountains...even the shoddiest of guides have their success stories that they flaunt to counteract concerns.
That crew and its passengers may have died instantly but I think the minutes leading up to that vessel implosion was likely an absolute horror show of terror and fear. It’s an absolute nightmare. My God. 😔
I bet all of the previous passengers on the Titan sub will never take another day for granted.
I've seen a lot of people complaining about the Game Controller, but what they don't understand is that you don't want Hi Tech, you want low tech for that and several other things, you don't need a lot of electronic parts that can fail, you want something that has been tested millions of times by kids, been dropped, had it buttons pushed vigorously 10's thousands or hundreds of thousands of time, toggles that have been toggled hundred of thousands of times, and still works. and its simple and gets the job done without hassle, need a new spend $50 at a game shop or Walmart and get a new one.
Yep, the controller is a non-issue and not unheard of. Still makes me appreciate my game controllers more
I still disagree. Ask James Cameron about that one!
@@stevemore3206 better yet ask the Navy, it's on their latest $5.1BILLION attack submarine
I wonder how many people knew, vs how many passengers were told that the depth rating for the plexiglass port was only 1400m. It was taken to 4000m.
Wouldn't running out of air be better? You just pass out. Implosion only lasts a second but you feel every second of it. Like getting caught and smushed in some industrial accident.
An implosion happens so fast that the brain has no time to process what happened, your there one second & gone the next, actually not even a second, an implosion happens in milliseconds, you wouldn’t feel a thing . Running out of oxygen would be worse because ur conscious as it’s happening & it can last from seconds to minutes of just basically gasping for air & choking until you pass out & eventually die. I’d rather die in an implosion if those were my only 2 options.
Depends on how you look at it. Yes, it may have hurt for a second. But they didn't have to deal with the dread of running out of air and facing the impending doom. I think going out in an explosion was much better than sitting at the bottom of the ocean for days the suffocating. From what I research, the implosion was so quick and catastrophic, they were dead before they knew it.
No, running out of air you feel it physically before passing out and know it's happened as it happens versus being gone faster than the blink of an eye.
The company needs to be shut down by the government and quickly forgotten.
It's probably going to file for bankruptcy to avoid being sued into oblivion.
I was thinking of suggesting this as a video but wasn't sure of how much coverage it got. It's sad what happened to these men and could've been avoided if the guy in charge would've listened to advice about the danger of going that deep. I'm a huge fan of the Titanic and I wouldn't have done that for $250,0000. It'd be cool to do a video of the Titanic herself. I read A Night to Remember by Walter Lord. Anyway have a good rest of your weekend and a good rest of your week my Friend, thank you for the video and look forward to the next one.
Always appreciate your kind words Timber! It so sad. As I said in a previous comment, Rush seemed like a great guy and is like any explorer. If there wasn't men like him, humans wouldn't had discovered new lands, uncover earth's mysteries, etc. Some just can't understand why people would put their lives at risk for some of these events I cover. But you can't explain the passion euphoria one feels when partaking in these activities. Tragic others had to suffer.
@@outdoordisasters you're welcome. Yeah I understand it's like the ocean version of exploring outer space. It's really sad those men had to perish that way. Especially the youngest passenger being only 19 and he won't be able to experience what the rest of his life had in store graduating college getting married etc. It's so very tragic for all involved and a big loss for the families of all involved may they all Rest in Peace.🙏
@@timberdaniels7317 Well said
@@outdoordisasters you're welcome.
U all feel sorry for these type of arrogant people . Fact is they shouldn't of been down ther . I could think of a billon ways they could of spent that money . But no they wanted to go see a pile of rust an shit .
I think the worst part for me is the sub potentially resurfacing, but having to wait for the oxygen supply to run out because you were welded in (i.e., the sub cannot be opened from the inside). However, going forward, I would imagine that trips to the Titanic is going to require some type of Permit or only allow remote-control subs without humans to go down there. Anyways, be safe y'all!
If they had a proper submersible to get down there, it could have been a lot safer. 2 guys hit ground in the Mariana Trench in the 60s and their window cracked. However they didn't implode somehow. James Cameron has been down to the depths of the trench as well as Titanic several times (for Titanic) they had constant testing on those submersible that proved much safer. Oceangate should be shut down, and hopefully is.
@@melanielangham7033 they didn't implode because they had a double window, so while the first outermost window cracked, the second one behind it held. That's why redundancy and NOT cutting corners is so important for safety.
@MetalGear4Life exactly! Given the lack of technology all the way back then even they knew there had to be proper steps taken to make it as safe as possible. The fact that oceangate just threw something together and didn't do pressure tests before every freaking trip. All that pressure could have caused metal fatigue that wasn't even noticed but at that point couldn't tolerate the pressure anymore.
@@melanielangham7033carbon fibre would crash instantly like plate giving no signs - that's why all submersibles are made of steel and other safe stuff ( u can chwck metal fatigue but not carbon laminates)
@@ultron374 - the most bizarre thing is that supposedly Titan has made a few successful trips to the Titanic…?? One thing that I question is how are they going to retrieve the debris (and possibly any remains of their bodies) when there is an international treaty that protects the Titanic and prevents people from lifting it up or taking the contents that remain. While I know the Titan isn’t directly associated with the Titanic, I would imagine that the proximity of the debris being near the Titanic may further add to the complications.
Lastly, I didn’t know Carbon Fiber could be used for anything other than the skeleton of a car. I work for BMW and I know they use Carbon Fiber in some of their cars, most notably the 7 series, and while I know CF is strong, I wouldn’t imagine it would hold up under those extreme conditions that the titanic is currently faced with lol
I think it's time we all keep The Titanic in our Minds, along with other disaster's from the sea and the sky....it's just time to - "Let It Be", as The Beatles song says.....RIP, to all of those great explorers who taught us lessons in life. Thankyou to You All....
Funny thing is, when I first heard it in the news that they lost communication, my first thought was, they should be fine, it was probably just a media strategy to maximise attention on their business and what they do and just before their oxygen ran out they'd pop up somewhere in the ocean. It was a bit of a shock to learn they were gone days later. Tragedy after all so that was the worst that could happen which is really sad.
Thank you! This has been emotionless enough blow by blow for me to finally understand what happened when and where.
I like the background music - it is a signature of sorts that lends a certain flare to the stories you tell - but please make sure your voiceover is easily discernible. I know there are subtitles but like... You have good voice yo. I want to hear it.
Thank you! Appreciate the feedback.
I was wondering if you would cover this. What a tragedy.
From what I see pretty much everyone on you tube is covering it
Thank you Outdoor Disasters. You stand out from other content creators in your field. I appreciate your presentations.
I love your well researched videos. You provide exceptional analysis. I love the soft but compellibg background music and your voice. Top notch as usual.
🙏🙏🙏
It’s so sad that he died loving what he did but unintentionally carried other innocent ones with him.
Thanks for providing info on this disaster. The thing I like most about this video is that you only stick to the incident. You don't go into assigning blames or talking about what's right or wrong. So many other disaster video/channel feel they need to give moral commentary.
It’s amazing to me that anyone would get on a vessel with wires hanging out.
Once I saw his little advertisement video my jaw dropped. Looked like a garage build for a lake dive or lagoon. Definitely not a deep sea vehicle. Reminded me of the old comic book ads for plans to build hour own submarine. I always wanted one so bad.
This company's mission statement cobtradicted itself the second they fired the engineer or 50 year old white guy who raised concern about the ribbon of carbon fiber used to make the pressure vessel or hull. Let this tradegy be an inspiration to proper safety protocols and the creation of a reglatory body encompassing vessels that endure environments harsher than anything else including space travel. If a wireless game controller fails in a military use the protocols are already programmed into the device being controlled like a drone for example. A spare is readily available as is an engineer. When you're hundreds plus meters deep with no communication too, neither are available so using X as an excuse or Y uses them so just shows that they haven't thought through the scenario of what happens when their controller fails.
Sincerely,
Dave, a 53 year old white guy trying to inspire people to use their brains.
Yes, I read about that. And that was just a front to not have to hire competent men to call him on his crap.
The white guy part is inly a smoke screen to create division. There are plenty of other non-white engineers of equal vintage who are just as capable. You see this is how Woke Inc works, by creating division and exploiting that division. I hate woke with a passion and I’m committed to dismantling their disgusting agenda.
100%
they had BOTH spares and an engineer onboard, that wasn't the issue, rather carbon fiber weakens with each dive, that's the part he didn't seem to understand; that has already been proven elsewhere
@@joey24698 Makes sense. Made it down successfully a few time before. Couldn't take the stress anymore and failed catastrophically.
I stumbled on your video by chance and before I start I have to say great voice.
I enjoyed your contents and so far your video is the best. Thank you !
Great great work thank you🙏🙏❤️
If you havent yet, go watch Hamish ride the DSV to the Deep. How he then climbed aboard the Titan after doing that is beyond me. He was not a stupid man but allowed his "explorers high" to get the best of him.
That's what i don't get. The man had been so much deeper. He knew SO much about depth. I feel the same about the gentleman from France. These two should have known better. Gods what were they thinking!
Very sad for the aproximate 700 people who died on the worthless ship they were on in the Mediterainian during the same time these 5 guys died.
The problem with the controller is they didn’t use a wired one, which is beyond me why they didn’t
I think some of the fascination with this tragedy is that no one's ever went into the ocean this ignorant to explore the perilous Depths with unproven material and glue to hold it together
Their website folded just as fast as their submersible deathtrap...
because the company is going down the drain big time
Rest in peace, or should I say rest in pieces Stockton Rush. I'm sure you always thought you were the smartest man in the room, I guess you were wrong. To bad once proven wrong it ended up taken more lives than just your own.
Rest in molecules.
Yes.

@@TheFrenchPug Well, the remains that were retrieved were solid enough to be put into a body bag...
@@linda10989 I wonder if we'll ever know?
Expedition 1 ended with such a bang, i can't hardly wait for 2 thru 18.
I guess those 18 expeditions planned for 2023 are permanently on hold hay.
Mind boggling that we can’t venture 2.5 miles under the ocean floor but yet we can venture 28k miles into space in 1969… land walk around plant a flag then re launch and land right back where we needed to…. Yet in 2023 safe travel on our own planet in our own waters is incomprehensible
I hope they don’t try to blame the mother ship. They are merely a third party hired and paid by companies to launch the sub and provide GPS if needed. It’s like blaming an Uber driver for dropping a customer off at a restaurant and the customer gets shot to death in the restaurant. Let’s put the BLAME where it goes, on Stockton Rush!
Prayers for the families! ❤️🙏🏻✝️
It was contracted to use for trips, it wasnt a rideshare app. And the rest of the OceanGate crew worked on the ship.
they're going to share in the blame game & watch and see
Love your videos. God bless you!
Thank you and God bless you as well my friend.

This guy makes a great narrator
Welcome aboard!
Great video 👏
The Weight of them Buildings didn't even scratch the surface, yet the Ocean Gate Titan went into the next dimension of pressure, depth and the whole shebang.
Thank you!
Have to give credit….some dude said I want to see the Titanic. And then did it. That is freaking awesome! But to charge people to go with you in your little home made pill box is unbelievably ridiculous and dangerous.
It is unbelievable that Stockton Rush had little regard for safety. I just hope that they pass some international regulations that makes it mandatory for certification for all submersibles.
Wow! What better way to explain especially to simple people like me. I never could have imagined how it imploded till this video.
Thank you for sharing and doing your best to research for us❤🎉
No problem! Glad you enjoyed it. Definitely wanted to condense the information and vocalize it for everyone to understand. A lot of details floating around and can go over people's heads.
❤️❤️
fatigue, too many dives, no concept of fatigue, more money than brains !!!
I love that for your videos, I can hit the like and then listen.
Through out history , id like to know how many people died because of hubris and arrogance.
“Safety is a pure waste”..... Says the dead guy.
He was using cheaper materials and cutting corners. OceanGate was well known for that. He being dismissive and not caring about safety is the Titan's demise.
