"It Presented Too Much Risk!" Explorer Reacts To Deaths Of Titan Sub Passengers
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июн 2023
- Piers Morgan Uncensored is joined by Josh Gates to react to the news that all five passengers onboard the Titan submersible have been pronounced dead after confirmation that the debris found earlier today was the result of a catastrophic implosion.
Josh firstly sends his best wishes to the families of the victims and also wants to point out how courageous every member onboard was to make such a risky journey into the depths of the ocean and make strides in underwater exploration. Josh however also adds that at some point a conversation must be had about the level of risk management that has taken place and whether CEO Stockton Rush could have done more to prevent a catastrophic incident such as this.

And the 19 year olds aunt said he didn’t want to go, that he was terrified; but he went for his dad. Now that is tragic.
It was highly irresponsible for the father to bring his son along like that.
If this is true, then panic may have been a cause?
who has told you this?
@@FlowersForYourGrave I also saw this, it's an article from NBC news, Apparently his dad wanted to spend time with him for father's day so he wanted to please him.. :(
He went to please his father poor thing
I don’t think it’s about people questioning their courage, it’s more about questioning why you’d ever go that deep in a vessel that’s not certified for anything.
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19-31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to “Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was burned and maggots abounded. Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned about the absolute reality of hell. Jesus can set you free, if you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe God raised Him from the death and you will be saved ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
They were warned but fired the guy that kept saying it's unsafe. That was stupid - not "courageous", as the guy in this video is saying.
Well I think they had done testing, it wasn't exactly like "oh hey lets build a sub and see how it goes" but it wasn't as tried and tested as some of the long standing methods.
@@Jesusislord-hd7fe 🥱😴
@@ShazWag But you think it's safe, like all these times it was, and suddenly it goes wrong u know..
It’s hard to acknowledge the captain’s spirt of innovation & exploring after finding out that he deliberately ignored safety concerns from the diving community and even threatened to sue if they don’t stop with raising concerns!
Foolishnesses should be called out especially when people’s lives are at risk !!
"Pride goeth before the fall". A lot of wealthy ppl have egos that supercede common sense.
Josh Gates is a class act. He focused on the positive aspects throughout the interview.
Josh Gates is a guy who swims with crocodiles, cave dives and travels to the most dangerous places on earth. Yet, Titan scared him. That says a lot.
He is a liar. He has done 10 PAID interviews and changed his story every time. He originally said the sub was a coffin and he knew everyone would die and that's why he didn't go on this trip.
He and his crew also flew in an airplane when its roof tore off mid-flight…So yea. It says a lot he was not up for going down again
Lmao he's some goofy lazy phat ass dude that goes to "explore and discover" what other groups recently found being carried by them by the hand all the way then goes eat some of the local meals in a nice hotel and goes back home and his editors make all the work to do an entertaining show. He doesn't risk shit.
@@markwalden6682where did you hear this? Genuinely curious. I want to read about it
He has saidvthebsame thing on each and every interview. Said the same thing in his blog. Go away troll
Courage turns into foolishness and innovativeness turns into recklessness when you ignore the warnings of engineers and mock experienced designers. Risk turns into manslaughter when you take customers with you. I understand the warm words but this disaster would have been completely avoidable if ocean gate listened to the engineers and hired a team based on skill and experience.
He didn't want to use experience 50 year old white men. Well alrighty!
It is manslaughter.
So true!
@@markkulyas2418 what are you talking about
Exactly! Calling Stockton “brave” is ridiculous . He was arrogant, and he killed those people as far as I’m concerned.
I really appreciated this gentle, kind man's,caring words for those who died, and their families.

Hi Pierce: The Titanic remains are a memorial for those who died. Separate from Titanic, Titan CEO said that he didn’t hire “50-year-old white guys” with military experience to captain his vessels because they weren’t “inspirational" and that “anybody can drive the sub” with a $30 video game controller. Obviously, the CEO is ignorant of facts and even history. Reflecting on WW II and recent events with submarines, he should have taken more care and diligence in creating a submersible by combining expertise with innovation. I find his remark insulting to all the servicemen who risked and gave their life serving on military submarines-these submariners are heroes. The Titan "explorers" are not heroes, they made a bad choice and risked their lives to look at a memorial in an unsafe contraption without training and sufficient knowledge about the risk. Their trip was not educational or respectful to the Titanic's final resting place and remains.
I would definitely say that it was a huge risk for them to go down there in an unknown vessel. It’s really sad and tragic, but I just lost my mom to a sudden cardiac event, so when I’m hearing that people are knowingly putting their lives in unknown danger, it does anger me. Because it’s just general disrespect and disregard for human life. They should have tested more before doing it 100%
I'm so sorry for your loss....I understand the anger completely and agree
You're absolutely right. My sincere condolences to you as well for the loss of your mom. Your anger is truly justified.
Many people put themselves at risk. I won't but even that's not safe as your precious Mom showes us. Im so sorry about you losing her. I hope what I'm about to tell you helps.
I was born different and in that uniqueness I found out that Jesus IS REAL. THERE'S A SOME A WHOLE LIFE AFTER THIS ONE AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR MOM AGAIN. This is what I do. I talk to Jesus and ask him if he will tell my lost loved ones that I ❤ and miss them and anything else I want to say. There is no sorrow in Heaven so I always make it happy. I hope this helps. I PROMISE IM TELLING THE TRUTH. BE AT PEACE. SHES NOT GIVE FAR! ❤ FROM CANADA
When you do something super dangerous with a high risk of death and your doing it for a trivial reason or no reason at all. It's basically disrespectful to God who gave you a long life to live.
Josh grew up two houses from where I live. Very lovely family. Exciting to see and hear him here.
Cool! I love him on destination truth!
The real tragedy here is the 19 year old that only went because his dad wanted him to go, that sucks... Always listen to your instincts and make your own decisions
Yeah, but he was 19 and just wanted to have a nice day with his dad. Poor kid
i heard that thay wanted to spend time together for the Fathers day....this is probably one of the saddest things i ever heard...
Oh no, I didn't know that. Very sad.
I suspect in Pakistani culture (as in many) there is too much expectation to please your parents as an adult instead of being the autonomous person you are.
It was a quick painless death…..they wouldn’t have even seen or felt it coming. Knowing that gives me some comfort as opposed to dying with lack of oxygen and in complete darkness.
Thank you Mr. Morgan for not interrupting, and letting your guest speak! That is rare today.
Did he? I didn't even bother to listen. What you mean is that it is so rare for Morgan not to speak instead of his guests. You genuinely wonder why he bothers inviting them.
Yes, kudos for letting the defender of idiocy speak!
It's rare for PIERS, anyway...
I agree
Rare for HIm
Josh is always a class act in sharing his perspective with respect to all different opinions, and meeting him as a fan he is so down to earth and a friend to all.
Hi rachel
It is so sad for the teenager, he was so scared , he must of been so scared RIP ... my deepest sympathy to all the families , my heart is with you ❤ from canada
Being a “risk taker” is one thing… charging a 1/4 of a million dollars to put others at risk is another thing entirely, and wholly unacceptable.
Guy sounds like a shill tbh
@@aldrinmarquez7136 yep
Go cry to the CEO then.

@@dw3403 thrill seekers with more money than brains
How lucky this man has been to listen to his inner voice, he knew it was not worth the risks. So sorry for the family involved. It's never worth losing even one life for a risk taking adventure 😢
When Piers shows his empathic side I absolutely love it. He’s brilliant
An engineer voiced his concerns because the CEO would only pay for a view portal certified up to 1200 meters. The CEO didn't want to pay for a viewport that was rated for the titanic depth of 4000 meters. He was fired and sued. This is all on carelessness, corner cutting, and being cheap.
and negligent!!!
Thats what most companies do. Saving money and shareholders trump everything, including safety
@@bargainplaceukand convenient. Blow yourself up into dust all you want. To take money from people to murder them I board your tin can is an entirely different conversation. I could never take an animal let alone someone’s child with me on something I know is dangerous. The man knew what’s he was doing and lacking, and DID NOT CARE AT ALL.
It seems doubtful that is true. It is true that engineer had concerns, but throughout that - and the court proceedings etc, the chief engineer, Tony Nissen remained with the project. Tony was ex-Navy for over 20 years. It seems unlikely that he would sign off on a weak porthole window.
When your final product looks like a soup-up propane tank... sane brains should prevail.
There's a difference between "taking a risk" and just ignoring all of the obvious blatant risks staring you in the face, like the risks associated with this untested, unproven, uncertified carbon fiber vessel. Pure negligence.
Yep. Not certified. Foolish risk.
Yep you’re right.
And on top of that taking a 19 year old with you
As I understand it, the carbon fiber was supposed to be 7 inches thick but he changed it to 5 inches and he only wanted young people around him who were YES sayers. He didn't listen to the experts who warned about this in 2018. He fired two who thought there wasn't enough security. No aircraft or submarine would be approved. I think he killed several people and he exposed many and he was willing to take risks. How can such a person be allowed to continue? But now he is dead and no one is well-versed who has a little brain and understands risks. Check the titanium cone when it was put there. Not even great fit and 2 inch overhang? It was supposed to be 7 inches and became 5 inches and how did that go? Even if it was 7 inches, they would probably get stuck or have a technical fault so they would remain there for 4-5 days until they died and it would take weeks to get the bodies stuck in this home construction. Now there are people who take big stupid risks sitting on shelves . How much has this cost and killed a 19 year old as well.
@@Miksta98 that really saddens me. His sister has said he only went as a Father’s Day present for his dad.
Dude is incredibly well spoken.
I've been a fan of Josh Gates for years. This interview shows he is a genuine person and probably one of the most classy people ever.
He definitely shows it!
As a dive master, I’ve always told new divers that if any dive is beyond your comfort zone, walk away. It’s a recreation, not an endurance test.
As for the Titan submersible, 1) No hatch, 2) No depth certification, 3) No back up submersible. Even the Russian Mir submersibles were operated in tandem so there would be one vessel to support the other in the event of an emergency. They were also certified to a depth of 6000m.
At 400 miles out to sea, you’re essentially on your own.
Stop defending Ocean Gate as a company which prioritised safety.
If you have $250,000 to spend on a dive, it would have been worth paying more for a safer option.
If they had had an identical back up sub diving in tandem with the first one, if anything it could've cost double the lives while solving nothing. Because the design of the Titan was deeply flawed to begin with.
@@francesco245 In this case 50/50 possibility depending on the number of dives & condition of the vessel. If successful, it could have at least saved the costs of the search and the 4 days of agony the families had to suffer.
Respect nature. This is not about exploring and being courageous. This is about being reckless and impatient,not listening to solid advice and taking shortcuts to safety measures which are very questionable.
Cause of death; ESG
I agree but I also wonder how much they paying regular civilians know that there was potentially a lot of errors and a lot of risk going into this because of the machine not because of anything else because how much would just a regular person know about a submersible?
@@rogerm3708 I wonder if the team of very young inexperienced engineers scared him off of going in this thing... diverse group tho.
@@xtina_m_marie7361 As soon as you see a tube steered by a game controller and a man telling you proudly that he ignored safety warnings because "you gotta be brave", a tube bolted from the outside.
No. Even if you paid me a million, I would have NEVER went into that thing.
I agree with you , but as long as they did not put others in danger only themself I do not care. What I have a problem with is people like that do stuff and then something happens and others have to risk their life to help and /or find that. THAT is what I hate. If someone wants to dive to the Titanic and stays there, his choice, someone climbs a mountain someone happens, his choice. But do not ask others to risk their life and waste a lot of money and time on you. I do not want to know how much this all now costs
The world NEEDS pioneer individuals, there will ALWAYS be risks and as we know fatalities. God bless them, their families and their courageous souls.

But he also acknowledged that questions should be raised about the methods he chose, albeit "at another time".
@@jdoe981let’s be honest. Stockton was a greedy, PoS that got them all killed, and the others were just complete, idiots…..

He's one of my idols and literally the real life Indiana Jones. His dedication to the spirit of adventure and exploration is so inspiring.

I'm sure there will be lots of finger pointing in the future but he's right, now is not the time.
Josh, you have so much integrity, and I tip my hat to you for your not commenting about James Cameron's many comments about this. I am a huge fan of yours, and you are a class act! Your remarks completely noteworthy.
This guy is upset by social media calling out the stupidity of getting in this vessel --- after HE HIMSELF was uncomfortable getting into that vessel. It's not courage, it's stupidity!
No matter how much vision or 'innovative spirit' the manager personally had, the fact is he also had a total responsibility to the people who paid him massive amounts to give them a safe trip in vessels he alone had constructed - and as is being revealed now, this vessel didn't even have a rescue beam on it or other way of even being tracked in case of trouble. I think a call to 'admire' that sort of management, is beyond the pale.
Goldenautumn totally agree. Risk and passion but lacking responsibility for the lives that were lost in that quest. Quarter of a million pound suicide mission .
I say it was a waste of money and waste of life
That poor boy. 19 years old and his whole life obliterated in 0.5 seconds. NEVER give in to pressure folks. If something doesn't feel right, your survival instincts are telling you something crucial.

Its not about being courageous or brave... A lesson i learned from the lions king when i was 4. "Being brave doesnt mean you go looking for trouble"
Risking his own life by being careless might be courageous, but Risking 4 others lives, including a 19 year old is selfish and shitty.
As an Ironworker , we have our own dangers and risks . But one thing we always talk about , on and off the job >> “Shortcuts, cut life short” I live by that.
Big fan of Josh Gates in Expedition Unknown. So glad he went with his intuition. I’m an even bigger fan after this interview. He is a man of integrity & so cool of him to pay his respects for his fellow explorers ❤
My heart and condolences go out to the families affected, I hope it brings about a positive change.
He is being so respectful not to call that sub a piece of junk.
I don't think courage and fortitude when it trumps mature decision-making is something to be admired. Courage coupled with wisdom is much more to be admired.

111 years later, Titanic still signifies death.
Tragic and sad. May the Lord rest their souls.
Or it signifies ignorance & stupidity. This could have been avoided with the proper equipment he didn’t even give them a chance literally sent them to their deaths. After multiple failed trips in the past he hardly upgraded or changed anything and was just doing money grabs. Super shady to list them as crew members instead of passengers so you can skip safety inspections and still do the dive with actual passengers who aren’t crew members or know how to operate the machine as he had them listed and signed off as in the contract. Has absolutely nothing to do with the titanic like you want it to sorry
@@BigSmokeLVFax, this whole story is dumb, people shouldn't even care
@@BigSmokeLV Bolted together coffin. Despicable.
Yup. Another 5 deaths to add to the 1912 total.
Same stuff. Same result. Except far less victims, but a tragedy is not a single persons fate, it is a sign for something much wider, it is about society, their values, the disregard and the result shows in what happens to individuals, never mind the number! It will happen again, and again...until understood and solved. It happend with NASA, it happend with other lost vessels, with aircrafts BOEING MAX f.i., they knew before....
If I was a multi-millionaire and wanted to go see the Titanic wreck I would pay to build my own submarine that I was 100% certain was competently designed and constructed. If I was going in someone else's submarine I would hire engineers and experts to verify those requirements were satisfied. Being an explorer doesn't mean being stupid.
True. They were all rich and could have afforded building a safer submersible.

Thank you Josh for putting the emphasis where it belongs today.
Thank you Piers for chiming in and underling the best of what is needed today!!
You never let us down.
Well done.
The more we learn of this situation, the more we can see what a despicable, sickening, greedy society we've become. 5 people lost their lives in a horrific way, and we jumped on a profit bandwagon. There was no need for the families to be put through the torture of hoping their loved ones were still alive for so long. The media didn't need to make the tapping narrative giving more hope. But when there's a billionaire and potential of earning a lot of money, morals and simple human decency goes out the window
I understand the warm words but its not just about bravery, its about how ignoring safety measures can risk not just the passengers but the rescuers lives just to bring them back. The story of Titanic tragedy should have taught us the lessons to prioritize safety and heed warning signs, red flags, but ironically, as being Titanic enthusiasts and having more knowledge about the sinking of Titanic, they seemed to have ignored once again, warning signs and safety measures that resulted to catastrophic death of the passengers and the captain himself aboard that sub. Such a tragic event.
All about "Look at me"!!!
I think this opinion is the closest to how I feel. Absolutely horrible outcome. RIP
They put their 'trust' in the Titan designer, that about says it. These people were not equipped to even know about safety measures.
Much as I agree with all the words of sadness, I must also agree that, often as not, such tragic events, which need not have happened, remind me that those who disregard their own safety by engaging in adventurous but dangerous pursuits are less worthy of our sympathy than those they put at risk in their efforts at saving them.
Titanic was insurance fraud... Nice sentimental yarn though... Nice sentimental yarn.
Beautiful, graceful, and classy guest. Bravo Piers and Josh for your humanity and remembrance of the victims memory. Prayers to all the families. Life is precious,
This is a reminder for the rest of us to appreciate our lives and preciously protect ourselves from our own curiosity and against blind trust in others to keep us safe
Life is but the media seem considerably more interested in the death of a billionaire than anyone else.

I’m so sorry they have died. To be honest I’m comforted hearing that it was a implosion because my hope is that they didn’t even know what happened. For me watching my fellow passengers suffering and gasping for breath , would have been horrific!!! I just hope they had no idea!
It was very quick and painless
Jesus doesn’t only reference hell, he describes it in great detail. He says it is a place of eternal torment (Luke 16:23), of unquenchable fire (Mark 9:43), where the worm does not die (Mark 9:48), where people will gnash their teeth in anguish and regret (Matt. 13:42), and from which there is no return, even to warn loved ones (Luke 16:19-31). He calls hell a place of “outer darkness” (Matt. 25:30), comparing it to “Gehenna” (Matt. 10:28), which was a trash dump outside the walls of Jerusalem where rubbish was burned and maggots abounded. Jesus talks about hell more than he talks about heaven, and describes it more vividly. There’s no denying that Jesus knew, believed, and warned about the absolute reality of hell. Jesus can set you free, if you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe God raised Him from the death and you will be saved ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

*Great interview so well done Piers*
Josh Gates really has balls of steel. The guy has taken some massive risks over the years, really terrifying stuff. But he’s done them and survived, so the fact that he decided not to go down on the Titan speaks volumes.
The man once questioned the safety of a plane, but still flew in it only for the roof to literally rip off during the flight. He definitely recognized that this could have been a similar situation, except there’s no surviving when a sub comes apart 4,000 meters below sea level…
Balls of steel of what going down playing with nature playing with places that no man or woman be long I really don't feel sorry I feel sorry for that teenager stupid ass pops
This was not noble. It was an avoidable tragic outcome. I feel especially bad for that young man who lost his life.
I know this guy is friends with the people in the submersible and trying to defend them but let's see it as it is. It is a stupid move. If it was done for humankind's advancement then great but they went there to just flex at this point. I am not a heartless person but let's not paint them as heroes..it is a slap on the face of real heroes
@@stanbalo 👍
Absolutely correct.
It was pure indulgence, not exploration for anyone but themselves.
His being friends with the crew makes his opinions low currency.
Naming this submersible "Titan" was a recipe for disaster in itself.
My heart is with all the families but am especially hurt by the loss of a 19 year old with so much life ahead and potential. May they all rest in peace 🕊️🕊️🕊️

why would anyone get inside such a unsafe and untested sub?
And this why I love Josh Gates! Nicely said.
Josh, you have such grace and equanimity. Bless you for your profound respect for the grieving family, friends and loved ones of the five adventurous souls who have been lost.
Very well said
🇨🇦 SOOO well put !
RIP to the five that passed 🙏
Dad trusted Capitan, kid trusted dad...
Agent 47 strikes again
the 19 year old threatened to massacre people
Can't even begin to imagine....
But they all were mad,for not doing their homework well
capitan trusted boat
Brilliant interview and great perspective from Josh.
Iv always believed titanic is a grave yard and so sad to see others are now down there with the original people. I would not be brave enough to make that trip. Saying that, it is people like this that discover things that are of benefit for others. May they rest in peace and condolences to their family at this very sad time.
Cameron said it all . This happen when you put your life in wrong hands . Sub went down numerous times so tiredness of material under the enormous pressure was great each time .New material for this purpose , obviously was risk . They chose to ignore that fact , and that costs lives .
I agree. Sometimes we trust people with our lives. We have to be accountable to that. We live and learn. I've got a son in the grave. That tragedy taught me that I would never risk it with my boy. He can see it another way. Bringing his son along was selfish
I had 2 sons.but now I've got 1
There is a name for such egregious behavior....Criminal.

I admire explorers and adventurers. However, always trust your gut when a single decision could be your last.
nah you should trust the experts who know what they're talking about, who all said this sub was a bad idea.

@@Jesusislord-hd7feamen!!! ALL I can think about!!! 🥹. Where are the souls of these 5 men today? Life is so fragile!! God Almighty giveth life and takes it away !!
There was no exploration or scientifical value, pure tourism with a very passive adventure factor. And no control, as wished for.
Very dignified response. A true professional. Kudos to this man.
Let’s not conflate stupidity with courage… massive difference
It doesn’t worth to go down 12000 feet, no diver can go beyond 4000 feet, there’s no safety unless you decide to gamble in your life (live or die). It’s 100 percent risk

I love Josh. He’s such a risk taker. If he didn’t do this, there’s a reason.
Course there is - he isn't stupid!
🇨🇦 always listen to your guts ,they see and hear better than your eyes and ears .
@@valsyaranamual6853he got in that thing for 3 hours. Not at those depths but still got on that thing.
Bit of a hypocrite though. Man backs off from Titan because he knew it was deathtrap, but is sickened by all the people on social media who express their opinions on how stupid it was to get into a deathtrap? Sure, lot of people are being insensitive in how they express it, but tough shit, words don't kill, imploding subs built by an egomaniac who thought he knew better than decades of safety regulations written in blood do.
@@blarghmcblarghson1903 He never said it was a deathtrap he said it wasn't for him.
Thank you, Piers, for such great coverage on this terrible, terrible tragedy. I’m glad you didn’t jump on the bandwagon with those who only criticized and condemned this voyage. Hindsight is always 20/20.
What's admirable is a person risking his own life to save someone, not someone risking his life for mere entertainment. The usage of this word needs to be thrown out in this particular case.
I respect this man trying to put a positive spin on things. But there’s a big difference between being reckless and courageous.
I don't. Surely he must see through his own B.S..
The rich wash each others hands and protect each others backs, even if they were filthy dirty individuals... look at epstein. Billionares.... scumbags and they got they way by being scumbags.
Yep. I feel so bad for the son who did not want to go. A 19 year old lad with more sense that smart men.
Josh Gates has impressed me with how he’s chosen to speak on this. It’s very respectable. There is one thing I know, some incredible lives were lost. I, for one, do not believe Stockton Rush falls in that category because of his ego but I still feel for his friends and family. All their friends and family.
I agree.
I thought so also
Good for you, Josh!
The bravest was the 19 year old. Despite being terrified of going he did it anyway for his Dad's sake. And he had every reason to be terrified, his gut feeling was spot on. But he wanted to make his Dad happy for Father's Day, and chose to trust his Dad's judgment to make his Dad proud. He's the only one I really admire in all of this. The others were old enough to have known better, they were reckless in their actions to board that vessel. The red flags were everywhere.
sons trust their fathers to make correct decisions for them. By any measure - dad failed in this case.
5 people voluntarily lock themselves in an uncertified sub, then decide to go to depths military submarines wouldn’t dare to, it’s a sad loss but the ocean remains undefeated
may as well have gone down there in a 44 gallon drum with a garden hose for a snorkel for all the good it did
Yep

From everything being made public regarding the submersible itself and the company that owned it, it is a matter of profound criminal negligence.
The fact that the father still allowed his son to go along with him after all thats have been done as a concept is crazy
But hai happy father good sons
To get on the homemade ps2 controlled sub is MADNESS! The owner was deluded to think it’d be sound, It’s a very sad situation but I’m surprised how surprised others are! The fact it did at least 1 trip with no problems was bragging rights enough without pushing your luck
maybe he thought a game of fifa that far down is possible 😮
I've always been a fan of Josh Gates, but the way he spoke on this tragedy gained more of my respect. So much heart, and respect and honor for those lost. Thank you for being so well spoken and speaking from your soul.
Josh is and has always been a class act ❤
Of all the people I have heard speak to this sad event, Josh Gates is without a doubt the most eloquent and direct in his opinion. If there weren't adventurers we would never have left the caves in which we used to dwell. While I myself wouldn't have had the courage to do that extreme of an adventure, I think society does need the type of people that seek out the extreme and take those dangerous paths. It's because of them that we have airplanes, trains, boats, cars, horse carriages, and even fire. I think that there should have been more consideration about the wear and tear of multiple dives with that submersible and I really don't think that multiple members of a family should ever be allowed to jointly do anything as risky as this adventure was and certainly no one under age 21.
Dont glorify this. It wasnt an "scientific" expedition. Its a tourist destination. The ocean gate should be SUED and permanently shut down. Idiot rush used a wireless ps3 controller, home depot and airplane parts for his trash bucket. The guy LIED in his own website saying the sub was safe at 4k meters when it was only certified for 1.3k meters.
All for a quick buck! He was even know to hire college grabs. Inexperienced staff all to save money and avoid whitlseblowers. (Which he fired and sued, the last whistle blower) guy was scum of the earth. Needlessly put peoples lives at risk all for money
ALL THESE THINGS HAVE BROUGHT HUMANITY TO ITS END
Problem is, the people who didn’t buy a ticket for disaster and risked their lives to save the lives of people who ignored warnings. Terrible tragedy.
@@sheliafarmer No, with all respect, these are the people who have carried us forward. Without their type we would still be huddling in our caves. These are the bold folk who DARED for the rest of us.
@@sheliafarmer Humanity ended? When? I must have been busy working that day...
Well said Josh!❤ There are doers and there are watchers.
The fact that it was calculated to a max depth of 4000m and it went that deep blows my mind. They should made it to tolerate at least 8000m of depth.
RIP to the 5 passengers. How unbelievably sad 😢
Sad about what? 😂
Doesn’t affect you
Sad for the kid who didn't want to go, but went anyway because dad said so
What about the 1 million kids who get murdered in the womb weekly?
And how sad is the 21 thousands deaths by drowning in the Mediterranean since 2014?
The young lad didn't want to go ,he should have trusted his instincts and told his father to get lost.
who said that
Could've had a Ferrari instead 🤦🏻

Great interview!
Crazy, Foolish, Irresponsible, Reckless, are words that come to mind. At the end of the day people can do what they want with their own lives.
call it what you want , at the end of the day what is life worth living for if I am gonna coward behind just surviving it which in the end no one does
And repeat the same thing again and again.
I also wonder what's the fascination with Titanic?
She's resting at the bottom of Atlantic ocean for over 100 years -
if people would just leave her alone. It's like going to someone's grave and digging it up.
It’s not courageous to jump off a cliff with no parachute or ropes, nor to try and go down to the Titanic in a submersible that’s been told by experts to be a death trap.
British have been doing that for hundreds of years.
I especially feel for the 19 year old and his mom. 🥺💔💔💔
Josh rocks. I’ve been a fan of his from when he first started his Tv career. Great interview.
This poor father and son should've never been on this death trap. I hope the victim's families sue this company out of existence.
*victims' families
I love Josh Gates! I am a scuba instructor who dives in the puget sound near Everett every month. If he didn’t want to go that deep in the Titan there clearly was a reason. So sad, my heart goes out to the families💔
