He’s dead 😢

If he was clever he wouldn’t have used carbon fibre for a deep sea submersible.

No

Imagine if he just didn’t push his limits, he could not only be making tons of money doing these expeditions at depths not quite as deep as the titanic, but safer, and eventually patent his subs and start selling them for millions but of course we all seek the latest and greatest best most dangerous highest thrill seeking activities

@@ForwardNewsToday No

​@ForwardNewsToday nope. Good that his DIY deathtraps ended.

180ft deep rescues r nuttin but a thang, tell them dog

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I don't just the 19 year old who was effectively forced by his dad to go has my sympathy.

Don’t listen to anyone. You have compassion. That’s a good thing

@@mh-ht2fp nah you're just the gullible type who thinks everyone on board was innocent. The owner sure wasn't. Bloke was a money grabbing evil git who killed 4 other people because regulation was stifling his money.

@@ImOk... Don't listen to anyone. Sound advice. Just like Stockton rush. Advice hampers innovation.

@@JohnKobaRuddy the person feels bad that people died, they aren’t proposing plans to engineer a submersible. Reading comprehension is a good thing. Try it one day.

@@martinwhite4185 people… not comfortable

@Hope-Angel Not "spine breaking though".

He seems like a cool guy Didn't know him.. But wish he didn't try pushing for the extreme

You should only feel sympathy for one person and that's the 19 year old forced by his titanic obsessed dad to go. Everyone else was a greedy word I can't say on KZfaq and thoroughly deserved their demise.

To Die with him?

@@KING17626 you were obviously educated in public school omg

Not really. This isn’t a similar type of expedition to the titanic one. They were at 180 feet down here, that’s not that deep. Titanic is 12,500 feet down. If they stuck to these types of expeditions that they’ve done here, they would be fine. The Titanic expedition is another beast entirely

No, no not at all..

Here we go again with the conspiracy theories 🤦🏻‍♂️ this generation that we’re living it’s insane…. 😂

​@@mmr0221180 feet is deep. Not titanic deep. But deep. You go down 180 feet and swim back up. If you come up alive tell us how you got on

​@@mmr0221plus they'd already been to titanic in that craft before

🤣🤣🤣🤣

😂

It is a difficult time for us all now. I wouldn't call the submersible a happy meal, but it is certainly not well made. Its difficult watching these before videos knowing what has happened, so please keep your respect. Rip to all that died.

As a gamer of 36 years i can indeed confirm wireless controllers are not reliable and should not be used in mission critical systems while exploring the floor of the ocean in an experimental vessel made of a composite material known to shatter under compressive loads

As a swamp-dwelling ogre from the kingdom of Duloc, I too can confirm that attaching something with wires is better than connection over air. Who would’ve thought??

As a controller farmer in the attic of my house from 1940, i too agree with this statement. Wireless were never reliable back in the 40s let alone today. Wire controller makes me h0rny with their reliability 👍

@@explicitwolf8668 as someone who actually plays games, unlike the mba woman on top, I never had wireless issues

​@@alexanderl9985pieces

Lol

They realize that controllers like that make it easily operable. Ya know like some of the most high tech pieces of military equipment. Same type of controller

Its not really the controller that was the problem but the structural integrity of the sub. It just was not strong enough for that depth. Theres a reason why subs that go that deep are made with steel and titanium and not carbon fiber.

@@oldironsides4107yeah I’m sure they’re flying stealth bombers with a Bluetooth PlayStation controller 😂😂 muppet

@@joebloggs8292 The department of defense uses Xbox 360 controllers. And they order massive amounts. Stealth bomber would make no sense. You’re a parrot squawking talking points that you have no idea how common it is.

Good one😂

he is in another realm

@@mrdappernature8861 He persuaded one of the men on board the sub to bring his son with him. Big mistake

@@humbleguy3963 well now we know they are in another realm

​@@humbleguy3963and the dad agreed and the 19 year old son was not happy and was according to family members petrified of what be was doing. And his own dad made him come. 1 innocent and 4 pillocks.

@@JohnKobaRuddy and that was his only son. The father was the definition of an idiot

Hell you must mean surely

yeah that fact alone leaves me speachless. But what sane persone goes on a sub with a cheap controller to control it?

@@ReeN1995 and then starts throwing it around as he did on camera a few times during interviews. It was literally run by a pc with a TV screen and a Logitech 3rd party PS3 controller for gods sake.

Ppl keep mention this - but 100 million military drones also use an X box controller.. I mean it would put me off as well, but just saying!

Stockton Rush was a smart man. It’s literally insane how everyone is calling him an idiot and everyone knows best. The guy was an aerospace engineer, he became a commercial pilot at 18, one of the youngest in the world, he built his own carbon fibre aircraft and flew it when everyone said it wouldn’t work. And he had other engineers working with him. You all are bashing him too much, he made a mistake..we all made mistakes. He was in the sub too there was no malice he died too. And you’re all hypocrites because you care so much about these 4 ppl that died, except Rush, but only with words. I’m sure if one of them was lying in the streets half dead you would have just walked past quickly. I’ve been attacked and robbed twice as a younger girl 10 years ago and 12 years ago, in a busy street. Full of ppl walking next to me. I was shouting for someone to help me, nobody did. Nobody. Twice. In 2 different countries. My mum at 70yo fell in the street, in another country, nobody helped her get up of the ppl walking by. Someone made jokes while walking by. So everyone is so sad about these ppl dying and so angry with Rush but then in real life nobody cares about each other. There’s the exception of course.

@@yourshadows I think the opposite - his behaviour was a result of his past success. He actually had an incredible career really. But I think this lead him to think he was invincible, and that he knew everything. Which lead to this disaster - I also thought imagine if he WASNT on the sub, and he had just sent 5 people to their deaths (I’m not saying it’s ‘good’ he was on it, I just can’t imagine what would happen if he wasn’t on it - he didn’t always pilot the sub)

You have to be American. Only yanks are dumb enough to fall for that shit. "I've broke some rules" isn't passion.

Shit like blowing your self up with 4 innocent clients?

I don't know if you're trolling or just insane, but to excuse this lunatic is like shrugging your shoulders at a person who knowingly hands you a parachute filled with sand during your skydive and just saying, oh well, it happens. No one meant harm 🤷

Its not funny at all. Have some respect

Wonder how that suit will go considering the CEO himself who made all the decisions and ignored the warnings is dead, he was piloting the sub. From what I remember he had all passengers sign a waiver that said they can't sue if anything happens and that they are understanding of the risks going on this trip. Regardless tho OceanGate is finished anyways, the CEO is dead and their submarine disaster is one of the biggest news stories of the year.

Yeah as the above comment says they had to sign a waiver which claimed it was an experimental vessel and no responsibility for injury or death would be taken. However the company is finished and nobody will ever get on one of their subs again

​@@Wvlfmanetheirs still a company to sue

​@@scottmaciver8948not entirely true. This is planet earth you know?! How many influencer types would gladly jump in one just for the clicks? I hope they all do it together as some kind of influencers party and have the exact same experience.

@@JohnKobaRuddytrue but I dont think they can sue the company if the people involved willingly signed a waiver saying they knew the risks of getting onboard and going for the trip.

Its not funny.

this is so hightech in so many levels... he should have ride his very safe sub solo and refuse others to ride with him so he gone to the abyss by himself and never comeback.... Dumb CEO he was already criticize by one of his employee seeing some safety issues with his pride sub but his ego ultimately eats him and the poor employee fired on the spot for speaking the truth...

What you expect him to use for that

He was truly innovative. RIP. Don’t let restrictions stop you. Live life to the fullest.

Whoever were in submarine are not kids and no one forced them to visit a ship which sank a century ago... They are fully aware of consequences and yet they went ahead..... What else a CEO can do if people are stupid.

It's actually pretty smart. Because when you're in really deep water and there's no land around you. It's very easy to get disoriented

if only he did not drag 4 people along with him after lying

@@sunfvalleyso u Saying he took the 4 men to die with him ?

@@KING17626 Do your research, statements made from friends of his, claimed he knew that the carbon fibre was failing and was a matter of time before it went. He just didn't care about any safety.

Si verdaderamente murio...porque de eso, nadie tiene una seguridad. Esa gente debia millones de dolares. Se enriquecieron muchisimo con ese negocio, que como sabemos, es carisimo. Que las redes y los diarios digan que se murieron, a nadie consta. Esa gente podria tambien haberse 'desaparecido' ante tantos problemas y cobrar seguros. Seguramente la Oceangate si estaba asegurada, pues en Canada no puedes navegar sin seguro. En cambio, sus clientes ni un seguro de vida en casi de accidente 'experimental'. Muy listo el tipo...

Ikr

Does it also cause implosions?

You sure about that?

@@Observe411A conman would fill the sub. He wouldn’t ride in it

He didn’t care about safety. The required limit for windows on the sub was 4000 m, and he used 1500 (or 1000, I don’t remember). A worker on the ocean gate explorations warned the ceo of its errors, and the ceo sued him. He isn’t a great guy; he didn’t care about the problems with all of them. The French guy knew something was up. I feel pretty bad for him. Also, he used a $30 Walmart Logitech controller. You should definitely realize something is wrong when you see that.

@@EpsiIonEagle^

He was mainly arrogant an cocky, way too over confident hence why he's dead too. He should have focused more on safety an back up plans before ever going that deep or replaced the sub every year with a new one if it got weak over the years of pressure being put on it from 12 000 feet deep. I think if he was a true conman he would of hired some old other sleeze ball to operate it while he sat back in his mansion an made all the profit risk free .but he was probably definitely greedy too

Best part about a lack of regulations is that it has a good chance of killing off people like Rush. Imagine if he was allowed to build anything he liked?

You cannot regulate open waters 🤦

@dereksbooks you can't regulate safety precautions for a sub that is used for commercial tourism? Hmmmm sounds a but fishy no pun intended. Or is it he listed his passengers as special expolrers.

😂

I totally agree..

Totally

I don't think 19 years old Suleiman was agreed. Now he was canned meat along with his father, Stockton, Mr Titanic, and 1 rich dude at the bottom of the ocean.

Just an arrogant bell end

Disagree. In my humble opinion, Stockton is no different from that flat earther shitgoblin who built the steam rocket.

LOL

Also, wired controller > wireless.

You have to be kidding?!

LMAO good one!

Never Rush innovation

@@KatrinaE11 Katrina should look up the definition of Diversity. It's not always different ethnic backgrounds.

To many on the Ieft hiring Women is a part of Diversity because apparently they don't get enough jobs like Men do.

No, he was a delusional loser. He was no different from the flat earther shitgoblin who built the steam rocket, and I will do my part to make sure he will be remembered as such.
