Titan submersible hearing LIVE: NTSB engineer testifies before the Coast Guard

From Stanley Karl to Don Kramer, in the last 24 hours is just brutal hearing their side and views on things. This whole situation has been insane, so many red flags, so many times it should have been prevented, and Stockton got away with it dying smugly.

[owls]

I could listen to William Kohnen (the guy talking about windows and such) all day every day. I love his views and voice so very much!

[Amandavg]

I think this entire investigation comes down to one quote from Bart Kemper… “you get to say oops once”. And being that OceanGate did not even make a reasonable attempt to initially test and then retest over time all of the components of the sub there is absolutely no reason that people should have been in that thing let alone lay people and paying passengers!

[ispeeeaaakeeewhaaaleee]

It would've been really funny if the board would've released the second guy right after he finished telling his entire life story without asking him a single question 😂

James Cameron's Limiting Factor is fully certified and classed. It is the only classed submersible certified to full ocean depth.

What the second guy said about VVUQ was really important for people like that oceangate woman customer/ "mission specialist" to hear.
When she was saying they were like the Apollo missions & how explorers did it.
Which is a load of cr*p.
They did it properly & DID take all the physics into account. They didnt use designs that were know to have real issues, just cos it was cheaper to make some money first.
They didnt ignore know data or ignore proper testing cos it was costly.
Early explorers used proven to float materials, the most proven & tested boat designs, & skilled workman,
to make the boats to explore with.
The Apollo missions did all of this & built in redundancy on top of redundancy etc.
They didnt just throw it out there to "see what happens".
They used the best data, spent the money to do it properly.
Stockton really scammed his customers into see only what he wanted them to think.
And he made them feel important to "exploring", so he could use them.
Theres a reason these VVUQ etc systems work. Cos they do.

will someone please give this man a glass of water

I believe Bart Kempers testimonial as an expert witness was by far the best in terms of getting down to the nitty gritty and into the science and engineering. Hands down. Much respect to William Kohnen and his knowledge and expertise, experience, and development.

The first dude… was like I was paid to read numbers… “ha ha ha haaaa.”

[knitronics]

Based on the acoustic data alone, I feel like that proves malice on Stockton's part. It was blatant a catastrophic failure was going to happen with the carbon fiber after dive 80 and 81.

[alfbigboy]

Looks like the forward ring failed. I think it's reasonable to suspect the carbon fiber inside the rings compressed more than the titanium Which caused the breach and the implosion. It was mentioned that one of the domes actually fell off the covering when they brought it up from a dive.. from what I understand they just glued back on. So I'm just guessing for what I see.

2:41:10 what is this guy even rambling about it's been like 10 minutes

[kellykellycelery]

The front dome came off. Oops, well, just put it back on, and launch. 🚀


Excuse me?!


Where is his wife btw, Wendy? She seriously didn’t think she should stop him?

[cjmoor]

The Coast Guard should have published this video without ads. It’s a public hearing - shameful that money is being made on this.

[moniquelegarda]

This diving in this submersible was like playing a game of Russian roulette.

[nevisstkitts]

9:08:55 " it's inherently unsafe "

[restoguy]

i work on boats for a living i recommend not going deep in a tin can with a xbox controller

[ForensicCats]

I will do a video response to the first witness's statements... He has given us very telling information.

[jbkkkkk]

So, just to verify, Kramer doesnt know if their observations of the materials are related to how it imploded? Did they not complete an analysis?

[SM-nzff]

The womans face when the guy is going over his entire life story is priceless
