I don't like the word "explosive" there, is that really a thing? (Genuinely curious, like OP I'm not a marine engineer or anything close. 😁)

@@arianaajbeaverhausen8175 Yes, explosive bolts are a real thing. If you saw The Right Stuff, the explosive bolts blew the hatch off of Gus Grissom’s (Fred Ward played him) space capsule on splash down and it flooded and sank. When the Space Shuttle was being tested for its glide to landing, explosive bolts separated the Shuttle from atop the 747. In the 1967 Apollo 1 disaster that killed Grissom, Ed White and Roger Chaffee, there were no explosive bolts and no way for them to get out from inside, and the fire expanded and tightened the hatch so much it could not be opened even from the outside. They’re a last ditch safety/emergency exit system. Many military jets have them to jettison the canopy or hatch so the pilot/crew can eject, and they fire first when the ejection is initiated. The seat and crew follow milliseconds later and a solid fueled rocket fires them away from the airplane. All happens in about 2 seconds. Explosive bolts would not have saved the 5 people in the Titan disaster, but would have allowed them to get out if they’d made it to the surface and not been found before their air supply was exhausted. They’d have suffocated if not found quickly because they could not open it from inside. I’m not an engineer, just a life long aerospace nerd who reads up on this stuff.

I can't wrap my head around even the owner knowingly going down to insane pressures with a sub made with questionable strength, even told it's only good for a quarter of that pressure. I wouldn't go 12,000 feet even if it was rated for 30,000. Nope.

It's in international waters, nobody has jurisdiction to regulate it.

@@TransoceanicOutreach ​ it's a myth. Ship flags serve this purpose. The Convention on the High Seas, which many countries have signed, state that in international waters, any law that applies to the country whose flag the vessel flies is governed by its flag country. Also, The UNCLOS Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), in addition to the laws of the flag country, governs international waters. Despite their role as a means of freedom and exploration, the high seas are still governed by registry and UNCLOS laws. This was clearly a well disguised exploration mission in order to bypass some laws, which Stockton Rush was a specialist in.

What happens when you don't fly a flag?

Much of the Ocean estate is simply not regulated, and for whatever laws made there's very little manpower to enforce it, it's almost just the wild wild west out there cuz it's just such a treacherous zone.

@@DelphiAmnestied The mothership was the only vessel that was flagged. The deathtrap was not .

It was all about getting that money for him to make more of those death traps. It’s was out of his hands if something went wrong because they all signed a contract. Greedy.

He wasn't a visionary at all. There are way, way more hi-tech subs than this.

I doubt it was all about the money, he risked his life on most if not all of these trips as well. You might want to learn the word "Empathy."

Each and every passenger chose to take the trip. Noone forced them. They had the option to pick from every single available submarine to take down there. Them not being diligent and choosing the safest possible craft is completely on each of them. I would never have set foot in that coral reef viewing craft. Totally fine to go scoot around the great barrier reef or check out the sea floor in the Bahamas But going to the depths of the ocean without knowledge of the depths, pressures, required specifications, and all other things related is completely reckless. I don't know much about depth traveling but I do know I wouldn't descend in something without a tether, and external air supply line, external power line, remote operation capabilities in case the subs controls malfunction, tracking systems, and either hardline communication systems or at the minimum actual radio communications, and a winch for the mothership to pull the craft back from the depths. The fact that these people didn't think any of that was necessary is what got them this outcome. We get one life. You make your choices. They all made theirs.

While charging quarter of a million for a seat in this unsafe vessel.

Looks like The Gambler came and took the wheel

Exactly. Pressure vessels only can handle a preset number of cycles as you mention. Unfortunately, the people on this trip didn't realize this vessel was done. I seriously doubt the company periodically tested or inspected the vessel based on other reports that they deliberately skirted some safety issues when constructing the vessel because it would cause delays. It sounds like some of the travelers were so enthralled with seeing the Titanic that it outweighed their thoughts about safety. So very sad for the 19 year old boy who wanted to please his dad.

I have read that the carbon fibre begins to leak microscopically and break down.

Not to mention, this submersibles hull was carbon fibre… Carbon fibre pressure vessels are common for positive pressure containers.. such as for compressed gasses.. the container under a tension load In the application of a submersible, the hull will be under a compression load Carbon fibre is strong under tension, weak under compression Not an ideal material for this particular application There’s some brilliant engineers and material scientists out there who could make it work I’m sure But I’d imagine the challenges outweigh the benefits for such a small company like this one

@Davie_Jay ..it's the same with a carbon fibre bike, fine cracks can appear with use.

That CEO didn't impress me at all.

They had to sign a waiver that literally says the sub is not certified by regulatory bodies. For successful businessmen, they were pretty stupid.

​@@BurnCKCthat waiver won't mean much if it comes out that any information was withheld.

OceansFate is now a defunct shit company

Stockton's engineering and business decisions basically make him look like psychotic murderer right now.

What do you mean he said he knew he would die if anything went wrong. Even if the sub was stuck he knew he was dead. That is fare he knew the risk..

@@1k20a Scientists expert In knowing the materials suitable to withstand deep sea pressures said the sub failed to meet required standard. Apparently there had been warnings. Anyone who did their own research would have given the dive a miss.

@@1k20a It seems the extreme risk didn't sink in as being a very real one.

Forget certification, what about testing. Going to 400 Bar depth? You test for 800. And not just once, but at least 200 dive cycles worth, or the expected lifetime of the sub. Fail? back to drawing board. CFC may be unsuitable, but wrap enough of it arouynd a vessel and eventually it will withstand the pressure. So besides certification, a lack of thorough testing - that's even more unforgivable for an engineer.

Can't let those pesky regulators get in the way of profits, telling him to spend more money on safety.

There isnt any certification for those depths. Its a donat your own risk type scenario. No organization wants that liability of certifying these things

@@nonofyourbusiness7631 You are correct that there is no bonafide way of certifying, but using scale models one can calculate the risk of implosion, and include the degradation of the materials. This way a fair risk assessment can be made. Now we can only surmise the CFCs failed, which they probably did. But that's beside my point.

If it wasn’t for people like OceanGate, the human race would still be living in caves. We need people willing to take risks. If no one took big risks, we’d have no civilisation.

The Bible clearly warns that 'the love of money is the root of all evil'. And to me risking people's lives for his personal gain is nothing but.

He said he's been thinking about that trip for the past years earlier in this video

He made the statement that if he would have known then what he knows now he wouldn’t have gone. So he risked his life without making sure all T’s where crossed and all I’s where dotted. I would have done all the research I could and made sure everything was certified before going to the bottom of the damn ocean. Unbelievable

​@@s.s.tillmanesq.305 It seems this proves that any craving for adrenalin rush-type experiences should be forced to submit to reason and that NO journeys of this kind be permitted unless that enforcement level is met in full. Any human being who respected the lives of others wouldn't have allowed them to be subjected to such insane risks. Perhaps this was part of the 'adrenalin rush' Mr Rush seems to have craved?

I think the reason he is speaking so glowingly is because you are witnessing someone with an explorer mindset. This man was excited by the talk, by the idea of it... just like the people who died on the side of Everest who had no business climbing it, thinking it was a bucket list thing... which, I guess it was. The way I look at Oceangate is the same way I look at the Wild West... people who are risking their lives doing things that have not been proven safe. My family and I went on a trip to Hawaii and had thought about doing a helicopter tour... I did so much research and found that, not only had several people died not that long before in a crash, but the time of year we were going the weather would be risky. It literally took me an inch of research to decide I didn't want to gamble. The folks that paid money to die clearly were taken in and did not do their own due diligence. I am just sad that Rush took them with him.

@@Madamegato Yeah! I totally agree with what you are saying! Adventurers sometimes are the most prone to danger, because they are doing what others aren't! I don't think the trip itself would be very dangerous if it had been tested with different materials or in general just TESTED! The problem comes in from all the other factors that make the actual trip sort of a dumb idea. It's TOO deep, no one can go help, it's a submarine so it's already way more limited. OceanGate just proved that being adventurous without weighing the risks will eventually bite you. It sucks to hear him say "CEO died drinking his own Kool Aid" because he really did die, thinking "it's safe" instantly.

I envisioned duct tape holding components of the sub together when I first read about the lawsuits filed against OceanGate by a former employee. As a Floridian I recognize and respect the fix-it power of duct tape lol. But I've also flown on a small passenger plane that had duct tape very clearly applied over cracks around my window. Maybe it was nothing in terms of real risk, but I never forgot the chill that went down my spine 😳 Now whenever I hear about shoddy craftsmanship in situations like this, I think "was there duct tape? 🤔"

I think it's all part of the delusive and addictive adrenalin rush some people get from taking extreme risks.

He says in the end he wouldnt do it again knowing all the issues, he basically got lucky and went on one of the successful trips which would have been an experience of a lifetime. Being an explorer or whatever doesnt make you aware of all the technical things engineers and so on are. I may have missed it but I dont think he was or is qualified to understand the structural aspects of it. Personally I wonder what/how much the other passengers on this one inquired about regarding the structure or if they were just like hey sign up for a ride to Titanic! and just assumed it was trustworthy.

Yes, this has been stated by two other very senior naval diving officers also - that when pressure would be applied it would simply tear apart. Had it been ensured safety regulation standards, these people likely wouldn't have lost their lives. However, I'll never understand how any sensible person would step into a vessel heading for such depths with no backup tracking device, no rescue beam attached, and above all, bolted and unable to be unbolted other than by other people outside the sub. For all their 'exploratory' knowledge apparently these glaring 'fails' didn't even concern anyone at all - and that is simply staggering.

It's definitely not conventional and being two dissimilar materials they are going have completely different fatigue rates over repeat dives. Glue is also quite hard to calculate for as it introduces a lot of irregularities compared to a contiguous material, like all the other titanium sphere subs that have never failed due to an implosion. The titan sub was experimental and totally reckless by the company to be taking paying passengers, regardless of the disclaimers they signed.

The titanic is a big deal to a lot of older ppl For wealthy risk takers and adventurers this is a chance of lifetime. I wouldn’t dare but I can definitely see why thrill seekers would it

@@hollywoodslym It sounds like they need mental health checkups.

Probably like climbing Everest. Dangrous but once you get to the summit, everything's worth it.

​@@lordbossharrownah, there is air be it thin on top of a mountain.

Go to the shipwrecks, become one with the shipwrecks. Only 500k per seat. You to can be eaten by fish and crabs.

I INSTANTLY noticed that as well. Good catch!

Freudian slip.

I'm surprised it held together as much as it did.

After 12 successful dives to Titanic, one might think the Titan was very capable.

google 'greek boat disaster' if you want to really get upset

The bodies are long gone. How many people do you think have died in all of history? Almost everywhere is a 'grave site' if you think about all the people before us. Why are you all upset about that particular grave site? Selective thinking.

Ironic

Yes in the Religion of Islam Muslims are prohibited to visit places of tragedies e. g. the ruins of Sodom and Gomorrah.

@@ArchimedeanEyeyou gotta be slow my boy to compare 13,000ft UNDER WATER to a regular cemetery.

@@slimetooomob1656 What has the depth got to do with it? Thousands of people die every day. Billions before us. Why are you all upset about Titanic deaths in particular? Did you cry watching the movie?

I think he's just gullible

He is lying. An actor.

Right and saying he hopes more men like stockton rush continue to forward this line of work like what? 😂

@@olly4227 I don't know him to know If he's a nice man or not. What I do know is that it's a miracle he survived that suicide mission

Yea I'm not sure why he didn't just copy one of the Russian designs.

James Cameron is that you?

Yes, the shape of Titan seems bizarre, given the forces at that depth. As you say, a sphere serves to distribute the forces evenly and lock in strength . . .

Well, it's the shape that needs the least material.

Reference?

as a crafter I take offense to this. We could have done a better job.

The entire contraption was very shoddy and amateurish. Even I can see that knowing nothing about subs.

It held up for a few trips but ultimately failed. Safety is paramount, unfortunately this outfit took shortcuts and gave safety a backseat.

@@tropicanaborgatta8335 Hindsight’s a wonderful thing, isn’t it…👍🏻🙄🤣

Exactly..very sad

It's always about money or power smh

Totally.

Absolutely

I've been saying the same. Even if that submersible was made of titanium a foot thick and had every safety feature that guaranteed nothing would go wrong, I still wouldn't go.

I would go - just not on Titan. This is a super safe industry with no accidents in like 50 years for multiple certified ships. Then they yahoo comes along, in uncertified ship b/c he does not want to spend $$$ to get it certified. Makes it out of carbon fiber that everyone says is unsafe. End result is 5 people dead.

For $250000....let me think about it. 😂

How about , oneee millliioonn dolllars?😅

Good point. If you could standardise everything then you could see how many hours it would withstand at depth before buckling and then remake the subs carbon tube once say half the hours are done. I don't think it's possible to standardise carbon fiber construction though meaning you could always have unknown flaws. Sounds like a bad choice of material...

If it is in international waters, who would have the jurisdiction to make such a declaration? Cruise companies get away with doing zero investigations into the rapes and murders that happen on cruise ships by saying "we were in international waters, no police force as the authority to investigate, no country has any authority over any alleged crime" They leave many traumatized families in their wake in each, while pocketing the cash.

well, there is tourism to the pyramids as well 🤷

​@@springsbliss4094except the CCP, right now they are bringing up sunken navy Ship from ww2 and scrap them for material another reason to hate them

@@panda4247 That is a legit point. There is no one coherent way of approaching this area. Though maybe there simply isn't. The unwritten rule seems to be...the older a site is, the more it becomes "archeology". In the case of the Edmund Fitzgerald no one is allowed to dive the wreck anymore, but that is somewhat due to the peculiar conditions of Lake Superior. It's so cold, bodies last and last. Though I believe it is also illegal for anyone to try to get to the wreck of the Estonia in the Baltic. However both those cases are of areas where the wreck is in the waters of a specific country, or there is a treaty about what countries have official interest or say about the area of the wreck.

Or stupidity.

Well said!!!

Exactly

Obviously not.

Stupidity not bravery

Wow, I did not know all of that! Yeah, that's bad! Finding that out, I wouldn't be surprised if criminal charges are forthcoming.

tbh I'd feel a lot worse about it if it were filled with scientifically qualified people like marine biologists and professional submariners rather than extreme tourists. Submersibles are generally quite safe though, the CEO of this company even used it as a talking point in his marketing...too bad his implementation wasn't.

None of the others have failed in the last 50 years. Bad design trying to do it for less. Broke the rules the others follow.

It's not submersibles in general that are a danger it was this one in particular due to its poor design incorrect material and lack of safety testing. If he had built the sub using tried and tested materials . Submersible subs have been making deep water dives to the Titanic and Many places Even deeper without incident . Correctly engineered and constructed subs with proper testing are not a problem. They have been diving the Titanic since 1985.

​@@treelineresearch3387 But how could anybody, ESPECIALLY people such as scientists or submariners etc, consent to take such a perilous dive in something not 'passed' by safety and rescue registrants, knowing there was no backup tracker, no rescue beacon attached, and that they'd be bolted in with no possible way of escape even if in shallow water? There's a video where Stockton Rush is blatantly boasting about having broken safety rules for submersibles and admitting that he used incompatible materials to construct it! It now has been revealed that he also received several warnings from such people about this vessel! Does this mean he simply didn't advise the people on board? If that is so, imo this would have to amount to at least manslaughter of his 4 passengers.

@@adamwatson6916 "If he had built the sub using tried and tested materials" Then it would have been to expensive and out of reach for public use which was the whole point of doing it. The Titanic used tried and tested materials. Even certified by experts!
