??????????????????????????

You forgot to take your medication

Agnostic theist mood.

"someone just told me why theyre fake but i believe them anyway". 100% flat earther.

Yes, too much drama.

@@SloverOfTeuth The drama is, of course, the point with these fakes.

They never denied it. Seems real to me

I can smell the popcorn from here

so in reality, the people in the sub never expected to die. they really did never see it coming?

Exactly! Even on terra firma people use abbreviations in most professions. I'm a retired RN, in medicine we use many almost universal abbreviations. The "transcript" never made any sense to me for that, and for many other reasons. 👋🇨🇦

If you look at the BBC documentary, it shows their chats to each other , and there are NO abbreviations. They spoke in complete sentences so that doesn’t prove anything

Exactly, professional subs that go down to that depth look like the space shuttle or apollo capsule. This tin can looked homemade in somebodies garage using hardware store parts. Crazy

Ja that was a giveaway. Like a movie script

Hey Maud. The leaked transcript never made sense to me. I'm glad that nonsense can now go in the bin. And it will be good to have more detail from the investigation.

@@Mike-Bell I am glad an actual Titan team member felt able to share authentic information with you. It is a testament to the credible reputation you’ve built for accurate, thorough research.

I don't know where everybody gets this "no warning" nonsense from. The implosion itself would be near instantaneous, sure. Doesn't mean that leading up to that there wouldn't be PLENTY of auditory indication of what was about to happen. Especially with a composite material, which would be popping and cracking as the plies were slowly delaminating under tiny deformation (before outright failure).

@@robinhoodwinker8621 What warning does glass give you. Its either together or shattered. Carbon fibre works the same.

@@robinhoodwinker8621 Or another way it could have happened is that the sounds of the ocean and the sounds of the CF were consistent background noise throughout the descent, right up until the implosion. From Mike’s video, I understand that the events recorded were normal…the normal dropping of weights to slow descent at the depth they had achieved. To the crew, everything may have seemed normal, and their brains would not have had time to register the implosion.

Welcome aboard! 😊

thank you! cant wait to see the real transcript@@Mike-Bell

Thank you Ryann. I am with you. I am also disturbed by it all. And this was not the only made up transcript. There were a lot other hoax transcripts that didn’t get traction and attention. And there are so many people who believed this or more accurately wanted to believe the darkest most terrifying version. And it doesn’t stop there. Others believe this whole story was fabricated as a distraction from goodness knows what… I’ll focus on all the good people like you 😀 Thanks for your comment 👍🏻

​@@Mike-Bell Conspiracy theories boggle the mind. People shouldn't play around when there are victims of an event.

My thing is who would take the time to do all of this

Four. He took four lives with him. 😢

Hey thanks Jeff. It was the enjoy the dive gentlemen that had my fake meter going. Plus typing out the plan before action was nonsensical. The coast guard have been infantile in the way they have withheld so much information. First not revealing that there was a loud bang recorded that could potentially have been an implosion. And why withhold the 9:30am dive time.

@@Mike-Bell Crazy thing about the script was that there was a name in there that corresponded with a name at oceangate. Which would of needed some effort to find out. Also I read earlier that the rear bellhousing is found and an investigator thinks it was the rear seam of the titanium ring and carbonfiber that caused the problem, also in the fake transcript there was abnormal sounds coming from the rear.... So, hmm.

@@TJAnttola 🤣🤣 no hmm from me. From the start the way it sounded like a movie script that shouted fake. Plus Titan wouldn’t “spring a leak”!! At those depths it would be either intact or busted. No in between. The fun thing is we can wait till the final findings and I have every reason to believe the crew member.

@@warrenstrong8615 thanks Warren!! 🫡

@@Mike-Bell Perhaps the coastguard delayed the release of that information because they didn't want to distract attention from the search effort while they were within the 96 hours limit? You write with full confidence that the bang corresponded to the implosion, but could that have been known with absolutely 100% certainty at the time? The problem I saw with the transcript, right from the start, is that it was just too melodramatic, spinning a story like a kids TV program. My best guess is that the DSV was fine until it suddenly wasn't. I find it fascinating that some people have taken that transcript and woven a tale around it involving leaks, loss of buoyancy, too rapid a descent (do you think too rapid a descent would be a problem for an otherwise good hull?), warning noises etc. Appreciate your serious/balanced approach.

Great point! I love that series. They always do a good job on telling the stories respectfully. 👍💯

Yes also the crew member who spoke to me said they were all asked not to speak out till the investigation is conlcluded as any inconsistencies could have legal implications.

Indeed. And yet some youtubers where pointing at the times and depths as a 'smoking gun' that they were descending too fast. "Too fast", "should have known something wrong", "why didn't they act they knew something..." and similar. Then made a whole timeline about 'must have been leaking much sooner" and other tales. Pretty much all based on an unverified transcript.

@@mikefochtman7164 that’s why I liked Jeff’s video. It was pretty much an exercise of “let’s assume it’s real and play it out, just to see what could have happened.” He didn’t claim it was real, he just looked at the data as presented and commented on it.

It still came across (to me) as being needlessly sensationalistic.

That's the very issue though, he assumes it's real instead of fake and in this instance where the pressure crushed the sub faster than their brains can process, you can't assume some drawn out ordeal of problems and creeping doom is in any way 'real.'

@@alphax4785 That’s not the issue at all. He said it may or may not be real. What else was he supposed to go off of? There’s very little information available, so if there’s something that may be true it doesn’t hurt to look at it. And i think you misunderstood my comment, I said it was an exercise in “let’s assume it’s real and play it out.” As in, we were looking at it as if it were true but we know it could fake. He never said it was real and he expressed his doubts about it. To me, that’s not assuming it’s real. It’s playing out the scenario as transcribed and pointing out things that don’t seem right.

I hope I to hear more from the inside soon and that they can see I’m safe to confide in. . The investigation will still be another year or 2 before we know anything substantial.

yeah we all saw how he responded to critics from the outside as well as people on the INSIDE that dared question or challenge him. I seriously doubt if anyone is staying quiet because he was just "that nice of a guy" - lmao. right

Mhm would an NDA even be practically valid under these circumstances? Who would enforce it on behalf of Rush and to what gain, since the business has been wound down?

@@SianaGearz yeah I’m really surprised nobody else has said anything about how they were treated as an employee and now after losing their job and being landed in a situation now with OceanGate on their resume! But it seems there is something keeping them from talking 🤷‍♂️

​@@Mike-BellIt's not on their resume by accident. My first job out of university was working at a Schlumberger subsidiary developing a project. They clearly didn't know what they were doing, and I left after 4 months. The project was abandoned. I appreciate that some employees were possibly in a very difficult situation, they were perhaps misled by Stockton Rush at the recruitment phase, and then faced great practical costs in leaving. But I think it is still the responsibility of an engineer not to endorse by their actions something which is unsafe, and unvalidated manned DSV technologies are clearly unsafe.

Glad you enjoyed it!

It really was first rate, your evidence given made for a great breakdown. I look forward to more videos

Glad it was helpful!

Glad you enjoyed it🤙🏻 Cape Town 🇿🇦

You're very welcome!

Glad it was helpful!

You are welcome!

I hope so too

Excellent point. Top side tracked the sub and where able to also able datum it off GPS. That was the only way that Titan knew where they were and as you point out not a single location messaged to Titan to navigate and tweak their location relative to the wreck.

Glad it was helpful!

Hey greg. It would be great to talk to him to him in detail and find out more. My email is tadpolefarm@gmail.com and I can assure anonymity.

You are so welcome!

Seconded.

Welcome!

I hope so too

Hi Mary NIST had a day long update on Champlain Towers South a couple of motnths ago which I listened to very careful and with great interest. I plan to do a summary video of their findings when I get a chance. I am happy to say the failure hypothesis they are leaning towards is pretty much what I illustrated in my video 3 of the collapse. Basically they are saying it was woefully underdesigned structure particularly on punch shear rebar with poorly placed rebar which worsened the weakness. The pool deck collpased at its point of longest span and the pool deck fataly damaged/crippled 3 tower columns which buckled after 7 miunutes. NIST estimate their final report will be out in about 1.5 years.

@@Mike-Bell I still follow the NIST investigation closely. I felt glad that they did their best to reveal as much of their hypothesis as possible, but without committing to it as final, during the last public session. They seem very sympathetic towards families of the victims. We must also remember that NIST is tasked not only with a plausible failure theory but also with developing recommendations to avoid future failures. It’s a daunting task that is much more difficult than analyzing the cause of building collapses after being rammed by jets filled with fuel.

You would wonder if anything can be learnt as many of these designs seemed so flawed they are likely as not ignoring anything already learnt. From what I have seen over many years any lessons learnt have a shelf life of only something like 15 years before it is a case of here we go again.

Is that the one that was close to where they set off the recent atom bomb?

@@alexandros8361 only if you are a conspiracy theorist 🤩

Hey Brett There was no too fast descent. The crew member said nothing about high descent speed. The depth for that descent time was routine. Completely dismiss the leaked transcript. Another red flag for the leaked transcpript is the ship asking depth data from the sub. The support ship was responsible for location of the sub because it had the powerful equipment and could reference to GPS so it had much better data. The sub only had a depth reading and no location so you would expect the ship to be feeding tracking info the to the sub.

18 months to 2 years is a typical timeframe

The the document showing the codes and abbreviations they used to communicate was made public right after the transcript started making the rounds. All information in this video was making the rounds 3 months ago so I don't know how much investigation was done here .

You didn’t listen to the video fully. Dropped 2 weights meant they were dropping half the descent weights for a soft landing. Normal procedure. It didn’t mean there was anything wrong in fact it meant all was going normally.

@@Mike-Bell But it was NOT normal (also they technically NEVER had plans of LANDING - soft or otherwise - just hovering and navigating above the Titanic wreckage.. just saying). Anyway. The way ALL contact was lost 1hr 45min into the exploration (coms AND tracking, which were 2 separate systems - this was mentioned by James Cameron AND confirmed by OceanGate for Titan specifically - that coms and tracking were 2 completely separate systems, both lost at the same time) and the location of the Titan wreckage being 485 meters away from the Titanic wreckage -- absolutely proved that things were NOT going normally... TLDR: Loss of contact with BOTH communication and navigation systems means time of implosion was 1hr 45mins into the dive. Location of wreckage was 485 meters away from the Titanic wreckage they were going to explore. These 2 facts prove that things were NOT going normally. PS: OceanGate DID say dropping 2 weights this early was normal, but... When someone's literal track record is "90 dives with 13 successful descents but 77 failed and they had to surface early", and those people tell you something is """normal""" ..... take that with a grain of salt! :P PPS: The failed dives were all non-fatal until the last one, so yeah, Stockton Rush really did (wrongly) believe that if something was wrong he'd be able to go back up successfully. PPPS: We know carbon fiber isn't for deep sea exploration because it WEARS OUT TOO MUCH OVER TIME because this material WAS tested by OTHERS, extensively... this whole thing is really sad

Any audio is fake. No authentic audio released. Unfortunately the coast guard and investigators are being secretive and said basically nothing. We will have to wait for the final investigation report.

Yup it read like a movie script

There's pretty much only one. The failure of the carbon fiber.

I think you are absolutley right. They need as much carbon fibre fragments as possible to come to conclusive and useful findings.

You might want to educate yourself since they have released a dozen statements since it happened😂

You need to standardise your terms. You talk of a piece and a part. Dont use different names. Pick one name and stick with it. Piece or part? Which one is it going to be?! 😉

My pleasure. Its a good feeling to chuck nonsense into the dumpster 😂

Hopefully in 2 years

The transcript is likely fake but I would need more than a trust me bro I have source from a you tuber with less than 50k subscribers before I would rule it out completely . Anyone can claim I know someone who was on board the Polar Prince that day . The internet is full of that type of thing.. Everyone on You tube is a fact checker with inside sources who debunks everything and everyone . Every You tube comments section of every channel has subscribers saying thanks for being the only Channel that tells the truth or this You tuber is the only person on social media brave enough to cover this particular subject eventhough there was 1000 other KZfaqrs talking about the same subject and often long before

That's the internet for you.

The screengrab of the chat shows just 1 code being used, an A. But that doesn’t make the leaked transcript real. The rest of the messages are all words but only primary words. Grammar words are ommited and so is the perfect punctuation in the leaked version. The crew member has nothing to cover up. To what purpose? I am afraid you are still too attached to the hoax version and having a hard time letting go. The hoax one is way too melodramatic and sounds more like a movie script. To me it was clearly BS and good to have the crew member tell me of course it was a hoax and a cruel one at that. And how do you explain the 9:30 am error? Only a crew member would know that.

@@Mike-Bell Haha, no, not attached to anything. I just remembered seeing that is all. I'm not a bit surprised to learn that the transcript was a hoax.

When two items are pressed together with massive force, the instant that force is relieved they jump apart/separate with that force. Both connector rings sprung away from the hemispheres even though they had 18bolts holding them together. Those bolts were nothing compared to the 1000's tons of force being released. Its possible the sub failed at the viewport although I think that is a lot less likely.

@@Mike-Bell I suppose the View Port was designed to take pressure from the outside more than from the inside!

Most likely, the hull disintegrated momentarily in a pile of carbon fibre dust, the endcaps moved towards each other like two giant magnets, meeting the force of everything inside the hull going in the opposite direction. Posdibly the window shot out like a cannon shearing the bolts that hold it together right off, together with everything from inside the hull including all the people being squeezed out through that hole like someone stepped on a toothpaste tube.

@@ingvarhallstrom2306 I don't think the End Domes would have been dragged inward, I think they would have shot off like a popping the lid off a can of Pringles as none of the Carbon structure remained attached to them!

@@S-T-E-V-E Think of the enormous pressure against the hull. It's not only a pressure towards the centre of the cylinder, the endcaps are pressed against the cylinder rims. Imagine them like your pressing a soda can from both ends with your hands. Then the can buckles. Will your hands move outwards or against each other with the can wrapped up in a little ball between them?

Exactly
