Stockton bragging about how he was able to get a discount buying the submersible materials past its shelf life is crazy. A real sociopath.

They actually did find Stockton's ego amongst the debris it was too heavy for them to lift though so they just left it there!

Stockton Rush was a narcissist who cut corners and had a terrible design, and then bragged about it. Sadly, he took four people with him one year ago today. He paid for his hubris with his life. Sadly, so did four other people.

Reminder that OceanGate listed its clients as "mission specialists" and never as "passengers" to avoid legal consequences if they died.

What was really funny is that they called the paying passengers "Mission Specialists" lol. What a joke

Stockton obviously believed in his own bad idea. We will remember him for his rule breaking just like he wanted.

I Can't imagine hearing gun shot like sounds coming from the hull with 10,000 ft. of ocean above me that's high level fear.

it's been 1 year? it feels like it happened a few months ago

I can't stand the cable news model, with their short, rushed interviews, always barrelling toward the next segment or conmercial break.

The problem with carbon fibre (or fiber if you prefer) is that it was never designed to be pushed on and squeezed. When used as the fuselage of a plane, its perfect for the job because the pressure inside of the cabin pushes against the fibres to expand them. And in that situation, the more its pushed against and stretched, the more it binds. In the water at depth, the exact opposite happens. The pressure is pushed on from the outside and carbon fibre was never designed to be squeezed. Thus microcracks form and get bigger and bigger until what happened to the Titan ... implosion. Stockton Rush was warned about that, but he ignored it claiming something about safety getting in the way of innovation. Unfortunately when he went to his own death, he took 4 others with him to prove everyone else right.

When "fake it 'til you make it" goes wrong

The more info comes out about OceanGate and specifically Stockton, the more despicable and sickening I find it. This guy was so full of himself and arrogant and careless. He should be remembered as a crook and a murderer.

Maybe Rush shouldn't have disregarded the advice of "50 year old white guys", and he'd still be alive, along with the others.

I can understand egomaniacs and con artists, what still baffles me is that he was willing to risk his life

Those sounds were the delamination of the carbon fiber.

It was mentioned somewhere that the carbon fiber was acquired from Boeing, who deemed the carbon fiber to be "too old". So if it was "too old", does that mean that it was not safe to use? It was also mentioned that there was no invoice or receipt for the carbon fiber, so who knows if Rush got it for free from the scrap yard or bought the carbon fiber for cheap.

A year on and still no apologies to the families from oceangate

Damn it's been a longass year.

Honestly, how could a self proclaimed ‘engineer’ disregard not just some sounds but loud sounds, during decent and ascent. Really. Audible not just microscopic, large enough material failure for loud repeated popping. Boggles the mind.

The craziest thing about it is that it's been a year already. Are we living in a fast-forwarded simulation? Really, though, a year already?

Stockton's was a narcissist manic that didn't listen to nobody.

Goes to show just cuz your rich doesn't make you very smart

Diving in a potato will render potato things.

Ocean Gate will be remembered as what happens when there are no regulations RIP to All

lol this wasn't a friend, you cant actually believe that, this is a former competitor

This is pretty much a replay of an interview in the days after it happened. Surely these shows can go down a new path this year..? To enquire about current work, discuss improved safety and quality standards, etc.

R.I.P. to all on board😢

Apparently, carbon fibre is very poor in compression. Compression is what you experience in a submersible. Using a material that's poor with compression in something that is going to experience huge compression is not a good idea. Every sound you heard from the dive was part of that carbon lay-up failing.

So, Army veteran here. We hassle bubbleheads about crawling into 'pressurized dumpsters built by the lowest bidder', but you never expect somebody to really go to quite that level of bargain basement. But Stockton Rush sure as frig did. Look, children, the sea doesn't like you and you can't make friends with it. The sea hates you in ways that makes an avalanche seem like a hug from your mother. You muck with the sea, and she will find you even if she has to kill you in the shower, ok? And some wrecks deserve to be left the Hell alone. Titanic, Samuel B. Roberts, Bismark, Yamato [among many others] belong to sea and spirits of the people who died aboard. Leave them be.

Karma will bite back hard. Stockton Rush was brought up with a silver spoon and did not grow up from being told no as a child. I wanted to feel bad for the other people in the sub but they didn't seem to have common sense.

Yeh,I think we got that he was a liar one year ago,so nothing new here.

Why is the wreckage being kept a secret? Why only like 3 of the same pictures? There are plenty of people that would love to know and see more but somehow it's such a huge deal to show more 🧐

Karma came to stockton rush it's sad that he took 4 lives with him

It’s been a year since this? That’s really depressing

this passenger should be thanking his lucky stars. He was diving in an Oceangate experimental death trap that was cracking apart.

I really wish people would just leave that grave yard Titanic alone

He didn’t record the sound? If I was going to the Titanic, I’d have a GoPro constantly running

Well, Stockton Rush got his wish. Nobody is going to forget him.

Stay tf from dwn there , leave that wreck alone tf is wrong people, it just shows u people with money r bored

Ocean Gate turned into a trip to Heaven’s Gate

ScamGate Suicide Expeditions™

It's been a year? Wow life moves on so fast.

Every CEO is a liar treat them accordingly

who told them going to the bottom of the ocean in a coffee can was a good idea?

It’s kinda similar in a way to Travis the Chimp, the only thing that the Travis incident and the Titan Submersible incident have in common is that they were accidents waiting to happen. Stockton Rush is now paying the price for his ego by feeding the sea life "Under the sea!!", but it’s sad that they never found the controller of the Titan submersible

It’s amazing how many people support and back liars and cons. Can’t understand why people don’t know a grifter when they meet them.

Stockton Rush, didn't like to blush, he ignored all the warnings, and so he got crushed.

I love this news anchor. Good interview.

3:06 I was hoping for an onomatopoeia 😞

Don't people need licences for sea worthiness or something?

Might aswell just move on now. The victims body's have literally been turned into liquid shit. Shit all can be done now.

. Stockton ---]CRUSH[---

🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Towing this sub on tin-can pontoons across stormy Atlantic ocean accelerated it's disintegration prior to the fateful dive. Few commentators mention that important fact. Rattling on the waves likely dislodged the bond between carbon fiber tube and both endcaps.

What type of submersible would make it to Titanic over and over again

Title: What it says... Me: Ya think?? He was literally using an old Playstation controller if my memory is correct.

What Stockton sold was his confidence. He had people sign insane waivers that common sense would tell you never to sign. But because he verbally made light of those dangers, he persuaded people to come along. His customers/victims saw him as confident in the process instead of using their own reasoning to assess the situation. The minute I would have read that language, I would have been out. No amount of sweet talk removes the reality of what is on the written page. It was painfully obvious he was doing this for monetary reasons and was placing people in harms way to obtain that financial goal. But the person I am most surprised by (and a bit disappointed) is Nargeolet. To be an "expert" in the field of exploration to the Titanic and to lose sight of the safety issues involved, really speaks to a lack of responsible thinking and how little accountability he measured in wanting to make that final trip. Maybe he felt it would be his last chance to go in his lifetime, so he romanticized that aspect instead of seeing the bigger picture. He's human. He can make mistakes like all of us. I just can't fathom how all that cracking and popping of the hull did not unsettle him enough to roll the dice one more time. It just seems... irrational.

Rush obviously learned nothing about the folly of hubris from the wrecked ship he went to look at.

We gotta tell these new bots that you only get one watch of the first movie. 😂

He was the Rush Limbaugh of being unsafe and stupid.

Ironically, my family was in Belfast at the same time, visiting the Titanic museum

he sounded like a narcissist

Karl Stanley is an extremely interesting man. He takes people to the deep Ocean in a sub that he built alone. He built his first sub when he was 17. He’s now the only person on earth that takes passengers on dives in an uncertified craft.

Carl looks just like Stockton Rush lolol

Why wouldn’t 👀 looking at the Titanic through a camera lens in the safety and comfort of your home be enough?? Smfh… And I happen to be a skydiver, acrobatic pilot so risktaking is not out of my range.

Love to karl i hope you have not suffered with you business x

One year ago, the entire U.S. was watching and waiting. I remember I couldn’t sleep the night the clock was running out.

Cant imagine what those poor people mustve heard before they lost their lives. The fear they must jave suffered is a fear most will never experience in their worst nightmare. All of this because one guy had an oversized ego and played fast and loose with other peoples lives.

Shocker!

Why can't these rich folks just explore it by drone.

In today's world this man is called a freind of his. Wow!

Good questioning by interviewer

Stockton Rush must of been "crushed" when he heard his submersible was imploding...

Carbon Fiber is not the right material for submarine hulls.

As frighting as it may sound; the crackling was just the carbon fiber slowly breaking up in very little peaces; till the point it simply collapsed with likely no warning. And at those depth the thing just implodes so violent, anything in that hull is compressed, burned and turned into a human pasta within the blink of an eye. I'd say the perfect death because you have no notice of it even happening - you just cease to exist. Perhaps your soul for a bright moment is still there and seeing what just happened till you fade away.

Stockton was in a Rush to get those paying customers to The Titanic.

I have my own theory of what really happened in Ocean’s gate. It’s something nobody in the comment section would ever imagine

The more you learn about this guy the more you learn that he was a careless pos

I don't know if this question has ever been addressed. How much did the crew weigh? Was the sub overweight? It descended too fast and would not come up when ballast was dropped. Did they do a weight analysis before the dive? The billionaire and his son look heavy. Just asking.

Oceangate is still building these dangerous submarines, with plans to continue more sketchy diving operations.

A YEAR ??? 😲😲😲😲😲

I remember the media frenzy the days following this incident. Rush certianly made history for himself. This will be in books in the future and will still be talked about 40-50 years from now.

It’s been a year damn

Guy got imploded. “stockin money n Rushin to da Point” I bet you his initial words when he got to hell was “Any body got some spare Fibers?”

No sh*t. 😂

I take a bit of an issue with the lack of governance. This was a US-flagged vessel leaving a Canadian port with mostly British citizens onboard. That's three countries who should've been asking more questions about Oceangate's operations in waters just a little beyond their own. Especially with the whole "paid mission-specialists" bs.

In the late 1970s to later 80s, as my generation started leaving school for the unemployment line, we were already aware that the boomer teachers who told us we were “children of the rocket age” had no clue about the sky-high unemployment we were facing. In my town the unemployment line started in a hall on the 4th floor, 12 lines on a counter to the back of the hall, then a line four deep along the back of the hall, doubling back down the corridor, down four storeys, outside, across the “arcade” and down the entire spiral of a pedestrian bridge onto the street down the hill. The size of that line, yet we stood quietly, mostly ashamed, hoping to not to be seen by anyone we knew. We did not even realise the TV and orint news were full of discussions on us “feral youth”, us “idlers” and “dole scroungers” because they were terrified of us. We heard ourselves constantly spoken of as if we WERE the problem, rather than we HAD the problem. And it was the government and party directly responsible for the recession that did this to us, who blamed us for it. This was when they began to talk about “latchkey kids”: that was really a way of blaming working mothers and single mothers for unemployment, especially youth unemployment. They had suddenly noticed white-collar kids living the way working class kids had lived for centuries We were punks and goths and whatever else on our own time and combed our hair flat when scrabbling around for temporary scutwork. We worked on “youth schemes” for welfare wages - for employers who took government money to “train” us to stack shelves, and replace us after our three month stint. They then started laying off permanent staff who could be forced to do their own old job for welfare as “trainees” and “apprentices”. (We got classed as trainees for about a decade.) “Permanent” became the new temp-work: I was laid off three times by the time I was 21. Seeing one colleague per week being kicked out (“let go”) and counting off the week of your own turn, hoping it might stop before that, is unbelievably demoralizing. There was no minimum wage. At the same time, the white-collar boomers who had slipped seamlessly into secure work were the naive gatekeepers who would grill us on the gaps in our CV (resumé) and stigmatise us as “idle” and “workshy”. It was drummed into us to be grateful for a job, any job. We kept our heads down for most of a lifetime of corporate administrators who call themselves “management” blathering complacently about the company being “like a family”, and putting us through our paces in interviews and annual reviews - coaxing us to regurgitate slogans about being “self starting”, “thinking outside the box”, declare nonexistent “motivation” and “ambition”. We’ve had a lifetime of being exhorted in meetings to “go the extra mile” and sent on “teambuilding” and “bonding” exercises to align ourselves with “company values”, corporate “vision” and “mission statements”. We did it mostly without public comment. Some of us put on a show, others barely grit our teeth, and all of us used to despise it in “esprit d’escalier” privacy afterwards, debating whether the managers could possibly believe in this crock of BS the way they claimed to. (It was all very, very couched in American terms, very different from our own national cultural norms, which managers never acknowledged.) Below us, Gen X entering the workplace in the 90s uptick, surprised us with their confident expectations, took in stride their gapless CVs and smooth advancement. Now, because the children of a higher class are also going through it this time round, and because they have the anonymous solidarity of being worldwide publishers themselves - having a voice via the internet - the same phenomenon has become a “thing”. I say to Gen Z - go you! *BE* you, because being compliant and grateful is making a rod for your own back.

Ya think???

The problem fixed itself.

I cant believe people play with people's lives like this. It sounds like the Fyre Festival again.

Clearly a liar who believed himself, cause he went down and out with everyone else. Delusional to the bitter end.

He was suicidal its like he wanted to die

hard to tell if it was stupidity, greed or not caring about death, maybe all 3? GREED was definetly part of it, cuz they were charging 250000 dollars per person, they took what, 2-4 passengers at a time? he explained this breaking sound very wrong, it does make kind of loud "bangs", but similar to what you hear on big bridges, like how cables "crack" or whatever you call that sound. it's when very hard piece of material changes shape due extreme pressure, but it doesn't break. it's like having a big sheet metal and swinging it around so it makes that "wobbly" sound, it's similar to that, but imagine if you'd stack like 100 of those sheet metals and then mange to wobbly it, that's how it would sound like. or kind of like highly tensioned steel cable snapping. oh well i guess gunshots aren't that bad of an description. my point is that if he was ignoring all that, it means he was aware, but refused to take action for whatever reason. i'm thinking it was mostly greed and stupidity, he didn't want to spend those millions on building a new sub, he just wanted to keep greeding and piling that money .... but well, regardless if there's god and/or afterlife, one thing is certain: you don't take your money or belongings with you, so there's no point piling money like a greeder. he should have used that money for making stronger subs.

People who are wealthy develope a warped reality thinking they can do anything and this is a result of never being told no

Wow, a billionaire who's a perennial deceitful narcissist? Well colour me shocked 🙄

If you want an adventure dive to DD-557

Lol hopefully they go back to the titanic with the other owner.

And a murderer

That’s was happens when you don’t follow the rules

“Lol,” said the consequences of their actions, “Lmao.”
