      Yes 100% because the passengers couldn't consent to what they didn't know about the flawed sub

    So, the singular guy with the world record number of Titanic dives is de facto endorsing this company by agreeing to dive with them?
    It seems to me that the relatives of the other victims should be suing his estate for misrepresentation and depraved indifference. He was the only person on-board who should have known better. He should have said, “This shit seems like a bad idea.”
    Hey, if this experienced guy has no fear, why should I worry?
    It’s such an awful mess for everyone involved. Hearts and prayers.

      Respectfully disagree. They were assured over and over that the sub was safe…and it wasn’t. Rush went to great lengths to prevent people from changing their minds about diving in it. The lawsuit is valid in my opinion.

    The ppl on board knew the risk getting into this tuna can. When ppl paid to take these trips, Stockton gave them tours of the submersible. He showed them the game controllers, told them it was experimental and not certified. There are so many videos of Stockton doing interviews stating the dangers and he is criticized by the interviewer. They all knew they could die and they signed a waiver.

      Nargolet was NOT a lay person. He was a seasoned explorer that should've understood about the risks.

  • @DerexLuvsJenkins
    @DerexLuvsJenkins 2 месяца назад +4

    They all signed a waiver, it literally mentioned “death” 10 times and nonetheless they all signed it either way that’s what waivers are for, to remind you of the risks, and these five men, all sign the risk of what it was like to travel below 12,000 feet to the bottom of the ocean, no one should be held accountable, but the five men that died, all five of them were adults, even the 19-year-old, when I was 19 years old, I even knew better, it’s all on them that they died, you cannot blame the company, they warmed these five men either way either way fault enough said

    • @infrasleep
      @infrasleep 2 месяца назад +1

      We can only speculate ,but I think you overlook snake oil salesman Rush ; what he must have said to convince Harding and PH to go down in that obvious death trap (both had been on certified subs and should have known better-the differences must have screamed at them!) Harding would have had the routine warnings when going down in Triton-a certified and tried and tested deep sea submesible and I imagine Rush convinced that his waivers were nothing more than that; dismissing the waiver as red tape demanded by the closed shop industry hostile to innovation/new kids on the block and adding the clincher "Would I be going down in it if it wasn't safe?" I would still think with their experience Harding and PH would have had nagging doubts but foolishly risked it. The lawsuit I would think is more to do with closing every loophole Rush exploited-evading certification/diving in international waters to evade regulation/re naming paying tourists as "mission specialists" again to evade legalities(the teenagers mission for the good of science was to see if he could solve a rubiks cube in record time-a real boon for eco science!) I doubt if Oceangate has $5 let alone $50m ,but the claim will effectively mean it and its people can never engage in deep sea/any sea submersible trips. Perhaps a law forbidding any company to take anyone bar their own staff down in untested sub's will emerge. Rush was an expert BS merchant. Take his claim that his death trap was so innovative it was ahead of regulation! NOTHING is ahead of regulation -regulation requires testing-according to Rush if I'd created a deep sea sub made of cardboard held together by bailing twine I'd be "Ahead of regulation"

    Oceangate never had substantial post hull integrity analysis on the submersible after each dive. Also the thing was never rated too withstand the continued compression of the depths they were diving. Carbon Fiber can and does fissure and crack under loads and it is likely that the vehicle had several such compromises when she made her final dive. Pure unadulterated Gross negligence on behalf of Oceangate. They did not insure by Scientific inspection that their vehicle was safe for each individual dive.

      The thing I believe the worst as far as terrifying for the passengers
      I don't believe it imploded right away
      I think the cracking noises was it delaminating and a blister forming
      Would've been very apparent they was going to die
      Losing buoyancy and not having any way to drop dive weight
      The Trieste: let's use electromags to hold dive weight so even in the event of power failure it will drop
      Rush: ahhh just have some rope to rot off
