Discovery Channel Explorer Refused Trip on Now-Missing Titan Submersible Due to ‘Safety Concerns’: ‘Much of It’ Was ‘Concerning’
Discover Channel explorer Josh Gates turned down a chance to visit the wreckage of the Titanic using OceanGate's now-missing Titan submersible.
I watch his show every now and then.
When you get that funny feeling something ain’t right….FOLLOW IT!!!
Huh? They knew where they were they knew they were already dead and they did find the debris, so not sure what this nigga talking about.
Great breakdown.
Former Titan submersible passenger who took 4 dives in it, including to the Titanic, said communication with the surface ship was lost 'every single time'
Mike Reiss said on one dive he took in OceanGate's Titan submersible, they returned to the surface as soon as they lost communication.
A former passenger of the Titan submersible said he took four dives in it, including to the Titanic shipwreck, and that there were communication issues on every one of them.

This was so disturbing to watch. Then I noticed something. Nobody black ever took or would take this trip.
I watched to see white people get fucked up.. second half of that movie came through with results
That shit was terrifying. Imagine knowing you're going to die with 96 hours knowledge and there's nothing you can do about it. You can't even move or run or get up or stand up.
If they were lucky they imploded. Because to just suffer until you run out of air is unimaginable
Has anyone notice that the ocean been kicking white people ass this season? The white kid that jumped overboard, the cac that got ate by the shark near the beach, killer whales fucking up European boats, and now the failed science project.. I don’t know about you guys but…
We need to send more white people on cruises and boat rides this summer
We need to send more white people on cruises and boat rides this summer
I am going to need you to take a science class..lol
If the pressure was that great to implode it, they would have died damn near instantly
BGOL gather around because @LordSinister is rightfully about to drag this nigga to the depths of Hell.
The fact that they found this in pieces means some shit was ejected. Cuzz mixed titanium with carbon fiber like he was building a car for Tokyo drift.
I want to see the pictures cuzz. They said they found to nose part which means the shit exploded out the front. They are saying it was instant, if so there should be mangled body parts in the wreckage.
My assumption on the body parts would be that fish ate them? It looks like the died the first day right? So that would leave a few days in the ocean. Probably got eaten up
This is true...to study the Titanic for so long and then still scoff at safety measures is crazy
Bruh, at the 3:20 sumn mark, he literally references the "PS3" controller. Man, they were fucking crazy and you can' see the panic in all their eyes. The is a high school-like experiment w/ real lives.
Yep, this is what happens when safety regulations, engineering design, and testing is seen as "inconvenient". There were a number of trips, where that janky submersible had to be brough back up because of NUMEROUS communications failures in previous trips. So, this is not the 1st time that piece of shit fiber carbon can lost communications during its 200 trips or whatever.
The newer experimental model that imploded was apparently even less safe than the previous experimental model.

Terrifying TikTok videos depict what may have happened during Titanic sub’s ‘catastrophic implosion’
BySteve Janoski
June 22, 2023 7:39pm
Updated
Bone-chilling TikTok clips show what the “catastrophic implosion” of the Titan submersible might have looked like — a terrifying re-enactment of the event that killed five passengers in the North Atlantic’s treacherous depths.
Implosions occur shockingly fast, as demonstrated by an old animation of a railroad tanker suddenly collapsing.
TikTok animators extrapolated what that might have looked like underwater.
In one clip, posted by user @sincerelybootz, a vessel that looks like a military sub suddenly flattens out, curls into a taco-shaped piece of metal, and rips apart — leaving behind nothing but air bubbles and shrapnel.
“It’s very instantaneous as far as death when it comes to any lives that may be on board,” the narrator states.
00:0804:26
In another clip, posted by user @starfieldstudio, the OceanGate Titan is careening toward the seafloor when it begins to crumble like a stomped tin can. Metal explodes after the implosion, leaving no trace of the craft.
“The hull would immediately heat the air in the sub to around the surface of the sun’s temperature, as a wall of metal and seawater smashed one end of the boat to the other, all in around 30 milliseconds,” the caption reads.
On Thursday, the US Coast Guard announced that an implosion killed all passengers instantly as they plummeted to the sea’s black depths to explore the 111-year-old remains of the Titanic.
Debris from the Titan wreckage found on the ocean floor — some 12,500 feet below the surface — is “consistent with the catastrophic loss of the pressure chamber,” which means the weight of the ocean crushed it sometime after the Titan lost touch with its surface vessel Sunday.
An unmanned undersea probe found five big pieces of debris about 1,600 feet from the RMS Titanic, which sank in 1912. It’s not clear what caused the implosion.
The ship’s hull is still missing, authorities said. But the debris would only have been found if the vessel had suddenly imploded.
Tourist submersible exploring Titanic wreckage disappears in Atlantic Ocean
What we know
A submersible on a pricey tourist expedition to the Titanic shipwreck in the Atlantic Ocean has vanished with likely only four days’ worth of oxygen. The US Coast Guard said the small submarine began its journey underwater with five passengers Sunday morning, and the Canadian research vessel that it was working with lost contact with the crew about an hour and 45 minutes into the dive.Who is on board?
The family of world explorer Hamish Harding confirmed on Facebook that he was among the five traveling in the missing submarine. Harding, a British businessman who previously paid for a space ride aboard the Blue Origin rocket last year, shared a photo of himself on Sunday signing a banner for OceanGate’s latest voyage to the shipwreck.Also onboard were Pakistani energy and tech mogul Shanzada Dawood and his son Sulaiman, 19; famed French diver and Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, and OceanGate founder and CEO Stockton Rush.

What’s next?
“We’re doing everything we can do to locate the submersible and rescue those on board,” Rear Adm. John Mauger told reporters. “In terms of the hours, we understood that was 96 hours of emergency capability from the operator.Coast Guard officials said they are currently focusing all their efforts on locating the sub first before deploying any vessel capable of reaching as far below as 12,500 feet where the Titanic wreck is located.
While the Coast Guard has no submarine capable of reaching those depths, officials are working around the clock to make sure such a vessel is ready if and when the Titan sub is located.
Mauger, first district commander and leader of the search-and-rescue mission, said the US was coordinating with Canada on the operation.
The debris recovered from the US Coast Guard’s Titan submersible search site early Thursday included “a landing frame and a rear cover from the submersible.”

The Coast Guard didn’t say whether there was any plan to recover bodies.
The passengers lost on the vessel were British billionaire explorer Hamish Harding, French Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood and his 19-year-old son Sulaiman.
“We offer our most heartfelt condolences for the loved ones of the crew,” Coast Guard Capt. Jamie Frederick said Thursday.

The split-second collapse is likely similar to what happened to the OceanGate Titan.Tom Brattain / YoutubeThe US and Canadian coast guards mounted a massive search for the sub, which only had about 96 hours worth of oxygen.
But it was too late.

What do you think? Post a comment.
“Our hearts are with these five souls and every member of their families during this tragic time,” OceanGate said in a statement. “We grieve the loss of life and joy they brought to everyone they knew.”
These dudes are imploding this shit by pulling a vacuum on a sealed container and letting surface pressure crush it. It's not the same as the ocean crushing a 1atm tube.
The difference is there is air involved and the weakest point is where the action happens. You notice none of these surface implosions leave a debris field.

Titan submersible implosion was likely so fast that victims ‘never knew it happened,’ expert says
Expert Ofer Ketter said the implosion would occur within a millisecond, if not a nanosecond, if something breached the hull of the vessel to cause a loss in pressure.
nypost.com
the way people word things now the last sentence say almost impossible to survive a implosion. That should just say its impossible to survive a implosion that deep in the sea.
Talk about fuck around and find out.... put this on his memorial...
Stockton Rush:
"At some point safety is just pure waste, I mean, if you just want to be safe don't get out of bed. Don't get in your car. Don't do anything. At some point, you're going to take some risk and it really is a risk/reward question. I think I can do this just as safely by breaking the rules."
Rule #1: Don't break the rules.....

The latest open literature says that a US Los Angeles-class test depth is 450m (1,500 ft), suggesting a maximum depth of 675–900m (2,250–3,000 ft). This is a submarine with a pressure hull made of HY-80 high-tensile steel. The latest American sub is said to be constructed of HY-100, so they can certainly go deeper. Some Soviet/Russian subs use Titanium (stronger but more brittle than steel). The first one, Project 705 (Лира/Lira, “Lyre”) class (NATO “Alfa”) is known to have gone to 1,000m (3,300 ft), suggesting a maximum depth of 1,500–2,000m (5,000–6,600 ft). Later classes (such as Project 945B Kondor — NATO Sierra II) can probably go at least that deep.
How deep can a submarine dive? - Naval Post- Naval News and Information
The Indonesian submarine KRI Nanggala incident raised the curiosity of people about the submarines' diving limits. In this article, we explained the depth limits of submarines.

..and these are the same folks that, when they DO "find out", be the first to scream "WhHhyyyy is this hHHaaAAPPEEnNNNIInNGGG to MEeeEeeEEE?!" "I don't DEsssEERRvvVee ThHHiisSS!"
Sure, just like crossing a 12 lane version of the Autobahn.....
Jay Bloom, an LA financier, published text messages on Facebook between himself and Stockton Rush, CEO of deep-sea tourism company OceanGate, who was among those killed when the vessel imploded on Sunday.
The remains of the vessel were found Thursday, after a huge search-and-rescue operation in a perilous region in the North Atlantic around 700 miles from Newfoundland.
Rush sold tickets to view the wreck of the Titanic on the Titan sub for up to $250,000.
Bloom said in a Facebook post that Rush had asked him and his son, Sean, to go on a dive to the Titanic wreck site, after two planned expeditions had been cancelled due to bad weather. MailOnline first reported the text exchange.
Before the June 18 expedition, Bloom said he expressed safety concerns to Rush about the trip. In a text, Rush tried to persuade him it was "safer than crossing the street."
Rush said: "While there's obviously risk it's way safer than flying in a helicopter or even scuba diving. There hasn't been even an injury in 35 years in a non-military subs."
Bloom, who is a managing partner at investment firm Trimaran Capital Partners, wrote in the post: "I am sure he really believed what he was saying. But he was very wrong. He passionately believed in what he was doing."
He said the last time he saw Rush in person was at a Titanic exhibition in Las Vegas on March 1, where Rush again tried to persuade him of the safety of the trips.
"At lunch in the Luxor food court we talked about the dive, including safety. He was absolutely convinced that it was safer than crossing the street," wrote Bloom.
"I told him that due to scheduling we couldn't go until next year. Our seats went to Shahzada Dawood and his 19 year old son, Suleman Dawood, two of the other three who lost their lives on this excursion (the fifth being Hamish Harding).
"One last time.. RIP Stockton and crew," wrote Bloom.
Here are some of the texts Bloom shared between himself and Rush:
In the post, Bloom continued: "We are going to take a minute to stop and smell the roses. Tomorrow is never promised. Make the most of today."
The Titan went missing on Sunday, triggering a huge search-and-rescue mission that ended on Thursday when deep-sea drones found fragments of the Titan, indicating that it had imploded.
After the sub went missing, reports said that experts had flagged concerns to Rush over the experimental design of the sub, and customers described to news outlets pulling out of planned trips over safety fears.
Rush had defended the design of the Titan, and claimed that regulations to ensure vessel safety hindered innovation.
