Stockton constantly mentioned how few people have been injured or killed in submersibles over the last few decades. Crazy he never put it together that the rules he skirted and broke were the reasons they were so safe.

[eroero]

the reason why they didn't do a testing programme is because they knew it wouldn't pass THOSE tests. when the test is "can the vessel survive prolonged exposure to pressure" it's pretty important test.

[OfficialAshArcher]

This is THE story to teach future generations about why safety rules and regulations are important, and about the consequences of greed, hubris and cost-cutting.

Stockton Rush deserves to be remembered as a callous, apathetic, greedy and arrogant narcissist.

Hate to say it, but this was the one explorer type disaster where I didn't feel sorry for the main guy. Felt sorry for the son whose Dad pressured him to go on the trip, but that is about it.

‘Carbon fiber likes to be pulled, it does like to be pushed’. Wow.
I’m a moron with no engineering experience but that line was logical, simple to understand and impactful.

[SkepticalChris]

Stockton Rush wanted to make history, to make his name forever known forever.
He succeeded...and he took 4 victims with him.

Why am I still so obsessed with Oceangate ?

“When you act with impunity, I don’t care if it’s in submarines or politics, it’s not a good thing. You can get away with it for awhile, but in the long range it does not hold.”

What a haunting quote.
Moral of the story:
Arrogance destroys.

[Bee-qehm]

I think that older woman makes a good point: The Titanic is a bunch of people's grave sites and probably better left alone vs treated like a tourist trap

[griswoldclark]

I am by no means an expert in deep sea exploration nor do I pretend to know what types materials a submersible should be made out of to go to that depth in the ocean. But even I know looking at a guy with a video game controller and 2 monitors from walmart in essentially a tube with a black mat looked shady as fook.

[DH-ydgs]

"Worked with Boeing" that should be a major red flag!!

[carolinependleton]

Its the young lad that went aboard to be with his father that really makes me feel sad, so unavoidable, mans arrogance is unbelievable.

[mintybadger]

I’ve got such a huge amount of respect for all the men and women from so many different countries who dropped everything and went to go help try to rescue the Titan. Even if they were sure it was hopeless, they still went out there and tried. I love that about people.

[joshuaam]

That we worked with Boeing comment didn’t age well either.. 🤣

[Felarof]

I still feel sorry for the boy the most. Trusting his father to make a rational decision that doesn't harm him ...

[Krazy_Kookum]

"Everyone has their own opinions, on how subs should be design. How dives should be conducted". NO THEY DON'T - your entire industry was warning and attempting to stop you Mr Sohnlein.

[ray.shoesmith]

James Cameron knew they were atomised the moment they went missing

[_jadori_]

This dude lived up to his last name. Everything else he said was a lie but Oceangate being a "Rush job" is painstakingly accurate.

[mynamejeff]

They knew almost immediately when they imploded, exactly what happened. They all knew they were gone but went through the charade of a rescue anyway.

[nonplayercharacter]

Crazy how many clips are replayed multiple times in this documentary
