‘We were hoping this wasn’t going to happen’: expert says industry had concerns about Titan

I liked the video and it changed to 5k

"If it's experimental, you should not be taking people down." That sums it up.

Bastar*s

Stockton Crushed

Where is the Government on this ..

The fact that Rush took warnings of danger as “personal insults” tells you all you need to know about him. Arrogant, prideful and eager to prove people wrong and he died for it. Clearly they weren’t wrong.

Going about 'Extreme deep sea tourism on the cheap is a bad business model. 🤔

honestly its common sense if its not certified and up to date nor tested dont send it at all self certification for a product has risks yes but when it involves people going down in the depth of the ocean make sure the product is safe . thats why all the theme parks and amusement parks are tested and regulated and certified not self ones i mean people's life's are at risks

Stockton Rush couldn't afford rolls of interwoven carbon fiber material, so he skipped the interweaving process of making the material and took the raw strands of carbon fiber and wrapped it around the pressure cylinder like a spool of thread , adding epoxy. Cross- interweaving the fibers is the most important process to achieve strength, similar to cross-interweaving threads to make a piece of fabric. It's in the video of him during the manufacturing process.

Well said. Final! 😢

Wow! 😢 Risky understatement. Experimental😢

Faith based engineering is never the best approach

It is completely absurd that this was not taken down to 4000M either unmanned, or with just the CEO, prior to having passengers on board.

I had the pleasure of working for this man at Hydrospace Group. He is absolutely brilliant and he and his wife Judy have a heart of gold.

They have been down there before. So, this was the first Composite Hull ? Or…why did the others not implode?

What could go wrong. The owner of the sub is coming down so it must be okay . . Reckless endangerment

Any structural engineer will point out that the titan non-cylindrical flat upside down beak like tail shape assembled with a horizontal line of rivet along a complex shape well visible @1:14 is evident bad design. The torsion and other forces on that joint tend to split the structure. The best design just like cathedral arches are circular and certainly not oblong flat shapes especially when the join is placed regardless on a horizontal line. This thing is a failed concept. All the technological gimmick and A.I. serves no useful purpose.

A book written by Morgan Robertson and published first in 1898. It was rewritten as The Wreck of the Titan in 1912. It features a fictional British ocean liner named Titan that sinks in the North Atlantic Ocean after striking an iceberg. Food for thought.

Yaw wanna play with Gods waters with your money!!!!!!

nemtudom elkepzelni only 1 radio kapcsolat volt a felszin es a merulo kozott ez nem lehet de hogy kik es milyen radio es kozelseg volt a merulo kozott az ??? !!!

The Creature From Jekyll Island !!!!!!!

Wokeism strikes again! Hahah… The CEO of OceanGate said himself he didn't want to hire "older ex-military white guys" that had the competence and expertise required because they were "boring", instead he focused on "inspirational" hires like young females and diversity hires putting competence and expertise at the sideline.

Wonder how inspirational he thought it was in his last moments LOL

The Oceangate You Tube channels is losing subs

Karma

🤷‍♂️just like fraudchis vaccine untested experimental disaster is all this is it’s difficult to feel any remorse for stupidity period! 🤷‍♂️🤪🤔🤡💩👍

If the company wants to use the tattani site as tourist Centre they needed to pretest it several times. In my opinion that have some responsibility for the deaths

Hope isn’t a strategy…

Sadly, It can be inferred from interest & focus of International Media for how they prefer and prioritize the news coverage about journey of only 5 wealthy tycoons in Contrast to Greece Migrants Ship Incident. Those who went missing in their adventure for only seeing a sunk Titanic ship with a hefty amount of spending.

In contradistinction, the died persons in the Greece were from poor & marginlized background mainly from underdeveloped countries.

Exactly. I just don't understand, this was completely preventable. I understand furthering science that's how we get to where we are now, but he absolutely should not have been taking people down there.

They should have talk to this man first before they got into that sub, why? This man been to the challengers deep

"Next time hire 50 year old white guys……" Diversity is our strength", killed the sub crew……

Oh 😢

Problem is they didn't want old white men around but young folk working on it

If you don't respect the ocean, she will take it out on you personally.

I hope the creators of this death trap are severely punished and laws are made to better protect people from this kind of catastrophe.

RIP to those who needlessly lost their lives.

Tin can made in a shed

What people now really need to do is go down in another submersible to look at the Titan wreckage.

The best "I don't want to say I told you so, but I told you so." I appreciate his class and knowledge. Prayers for the family 🙏

The viewport being rated for only 1300 meters depth is a major concern for me, but I can't help thinking it would have been so much safer to have a plain old 1930s-technology Bathysphere with a nice steel cable to reel it back up, and an umbilical for communications. It would have helped to have a locator or pinger. Ideally, a GPS that encodes coordinates as a series of pings. Very doable. I feel bad for everyone involved: The passengers, the families and the workers at the company. This has to be the worst day of all their lives.

Who would think that desecrating a mass grave for selfies and souvenirs could end like this
