I just found your channel a few days ago and watched all the videos you've made. I've never done that before. You do a really great job presenting stories that are difficult and doing it with respect. If anything like this happened to any of my loved ones, I wouldn't want anyone else telling their story. Not any shows on the networks and not any other RUclipsrs. Keep up the amazing work! If I had a way to pay for anything online, I'd definitely contribute but I think if I let commercials play all the way maybe that helps. You deserve a lot of support. Thank you for your hard work and for the way you present these people's stories. 🌟🙏👍🌟
@shannane5171, yeah someone like Trump 😂 a lot of people going down with him 😂 like his domestic terrorists in prison he sent to attack the capitol jan 6😂
Or someone who calls themselves the Elon Musk and Bill Gates of their craft after they've waved away multiple safety warnings and took personal offence to being told "you're going to get someone killed"
@@shermanyoung8185How are protesting Americans terrorists o.O You sound like Obama who murdered American citizens with no trial. You should be ashamed.
agreed :(. makes me think of this tbh: Proverbs 27:1 ESV - “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” James 4:13-17 ESV - Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”- yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. 1 John 2:17 ESV - And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. Luke 12:16-21 - And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?’ And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”’ But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?’ So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.” Psalms 34:18-19 NASB - The LORD is near to the brokenhearted And saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the LORD delivers him out of them all. Psalm 56:8 - You have kept count of my tossings; put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in your book?

As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Romans 10:9 Holman Christian Standard Bible 9 If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. Hebrews 9:27 King James Version 27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: Luke 12:16-21 16 Then He told them a parable: “A rich man’s land was very productive. 17 He thought to himself, ‘What should I do, since I don’t have anywhere to store my crops? 18 I will do this,’ he said. ‘I’ll tear down my barns and build bigger ones and store all my grain and my goods there. 19 Then I’ll say to myself, “You have many goods stored up for many years. Take it easy; eat, drink, and enjoy yourself.”’ 20 “But God said to him, ‘You fool! This very night your life is demanded of you.

I just found your channel yesterday and I have now watched all of your videos. I feel compelled to tell you that you have a gift for storytelling. You told each story in such a way that piqued my curiosity and interest. As each story progressed I was more invested and at the edge of my seat to hear the rest. Every story was well researched. I felt all the emotions for each family in every story. Not only did you tell the story with the utmost integrity, but you kept the dignity of each person in tact. These are beautiful memorials to every soul covered by your page. I am looking forward to more content by you.
@@ObscureNemesis okay, 1. It's super hard to take you seriously when your username is "ObscureNemesis" 🙄 2. Idk how the transcript is fake. It exists; tells a story; the story matches the video; I can research the story myself to see if it's true. 3. Creating a video is not making a "quick buck" ... This is well researched, edited, and produced. Nothing about it is quick, sloppy, nor easy. Idk if he's monetised, he doesn't have very many videos out yet, but he deserves it if he is.
@@gobsmackedjacinda you are in no position to criticise anyone's usernames. As for the transcript, it has been confirmed that coms between the sub and surface ship were very limited due to nature of transmissions. They pretty much used prest of codes to send back and forth. They were not exchanging full on text chats. Hence this transcript is fake. Can't see how this video can be well researched if it's based on a fake transcript 🤷. I mean if you like, I can point you to some "well researched" and produced videos on flat earth, would be right up your alley.
It makes zero sense to go down there in person. You’re in a dry chamber, far less comfortable than your home sofa. You aren’t swimming around on your own, you aren’t going to actually touch the Titanic, you are just a passive observer. That means sitting in your comfortable home, next to a pile of $250k saved cash, watching a remote sub on your 80” TV, with snacks and bathroom breaks in a real bathroom, and as many of your family members or friends joining you as you can fit in your comfortable home. This is how to view the Titanic.
This reminds me of a dialogue from Jurassic Park 3: "There are astronomers and there are astronauts. The astronomers can study everything from a completely safe place." "But then they never come into space."
There’s a certain nerd factor for a select few that are obsessed with the idea of doing this. Which might explain why two billionaire customers didn’t bother to do basic research that would’ve warned them that this was an amateurish operation.
@mattwilliam5522 the submersible could only be opened from the outside anyway. They were sealed in. The depth and pressure would have done them in even if they could have gotten out.
That high descent rate caught my eye. Buoyancy in a submarine is a very delicate balance. Typically, neutral buoyancy is maintained, depth controlled by dive planes or, in the case of Titan, thrusters. In this dive, it appears that Titan had negative buoyancy, for some reason, starting from the beginning of the dive. Either somebody miscalculated the weights and balances, or the hull was already compromised.
That was my thoughts too... that should have been a massive red flag that something isnt right. Also to go down faster than it is designed to do the pressure increase is more abrupt and applies more strain that it would do decending slower. As soon as they realised it was depending too fast and they didnt know why, abort immediately surely
@@louisthibault555 Negative buoyancy implies that the sub wants to sink, naturally, and it will be difficult to get it to rise to the surface again. Subs are supposed to have basically neutral buoyancy, and then rise and sink based on control surfaces, thrusters, ballast, and things like that. If the buoyancy is too negative, then it will not be able to rise again no matter what you do. Not even after dumping all ballast, and setting all thrust/control surfaces upward. It will still descend, until it hits the bottom, then stay there. If the hull was compromised before the dive, it would have been taking on water right from the start, and that extra weight would contribute to the negative buoyancy. That doesn't seem to be the case here, as no leaks were reported, but it is possible that some of the floatation foam could have been damaged, or something else, external to the pressure hull, was taking on water (lights, batteries, motors, framing, etc.)
With the pilots experience from previous dives then, they should have taken note of the increased descent rate over previous dives. But if he didnt want to, then presumably the OIC or whoever was in charge of the dive topside should also have noted this as outside of normal, and requested the submersible to at least steady off, if not aborted. In any case, the rate of descent should/would have been planned and agreed for all dives, and followed every dive, so any alteration should have been noted and reacted to.
If this is true, the fact that they let the world look for this missing sub for days while counting down the hours of oxygen is astounding. Trying to save their butts im sure.
They had to be sure they were actually dead. They lost communications and suspended from the transcript that the sub imploded but at that moment in time it was like Schrödinger’s cat. They were simultaneously dead and alive till the box (sub in this case) was opened and viewed
@@JustinLodes There had been loss of communication for long periods of time in previous dives according to interviews by previous passengers as well. It stands to reason there may have been a chance they were on the surface somewhere. The transcript has not yet been verified/confirmed as authentic.
Just to climb into a small, dark tube, then to hear ratchet wrenches bolting me inside with one tiny window and no escape hatch would have been too much for me, let alone the $250K entry fee...
I'm late 80s so maybe this is unknown to you , but there has always been risk takers and one was named "Red Hill" . He packed himself into a 55gal drum rapped himself in foam rubber and went down the rapids at N.F. and over the brink !! He dropped the 150 or more feet to the rocky bottom . (he had no thrusters to slow his discent lol) !! That was I believe around 1955 or before . That was his Titan . I can't remember if he was successful or not . Many have tried different methods , some lucked out . I remember a little 7yr old boy who accidently went over after falling out of a small boat up river with only shorts and life jacket . He survived the ordeal with only a few bruises -- wow ! When interviewed , he couldn't recall his 'trip' !! Last I heard several years ago , he lived in Texas but still had no memory of his ordeal . I'm sorry for what happened to the 5 men in this sub , but they were willing to take this gamble for what they felt was worth it . RIP.
@@garbo7779he didn’t want to die but also not bringing his clients to the titanic site would have cost him having to refund them their money back. So instead it seems he tried to push it until it was too far gone before trying to turn back
Man I just ATE all of the videos in your channel, your content is amazing, I hope you get to find many more crazy stories like these. You REALLY know how to make people feel the chills and claustrophobia. but very educational as well. Just gold.
From the looks of it this simply was a case of Rush overestimating his abilities. I grew up in an archipelago is the Pacific Ocean. What a lot of people don`t seem to understand is that the ocean can be a very merciless, unforgiving place. Look at what happened to the very vessel they were planning to visit. When it was launched in Southampton, UK, that ever ship was touted to be unsinkable. There could be no greater irony than this. I pity the kid who only went along for his father`s sake.
Trying to be a smart ass arent@@jezztech Would you mind reading my comment properly I was clearly talking about the Titanic. All records will show the launch of the maiden voyage was from Southampton. Now who`s looking silly. And if you`re American, I`ll forgive you.😁😆😆😆😆
@@jezztech You look silly for trying to correct him using it’s transfer from dockyard to port. It’s maiden commercial voyage was from Southampton. Or do you want to be even more tedious and we can say it started in Sheffield where the steel was fabricated? Pleb
his the only 1 who is feel sorry fuck the others they deserved it in my honest opinion especially because of the fact that they descended deeper and deeper at too much of a fast rate otherwise if they was going down more slowly then by the time that something was wrong with the sub then they almost 100 percent dead certain would have been only at 3000 thousand meters deep rather than almost 3500 meters deep and would have therefore almost 100 percent dead certain would have survived as even just 500 meters less the water pressure would have been that much less to the point that the sub would have almost 100 percent dead certain would have had the power to past back up to the surface also why would someone build a sub that struggles to go only 12000 feet deep maximum rather than at least 20000 thousand feet maximum just to be on the safe side i mean seriously we could build things that could go as deep as 30000 thousand plus feet deep even since the 1960s so nowadays that would probably be more like 40000 or even 50000 thousand feet deep since we have come a very very long long way in technology since the 1960s just as a perfect example just look at an f1 car now compared to back in the 1960s way stronger in a crash due to huge advancements in making better stronger materials also way faster as well etc so really you cant really feel sorry for them and their stupidity especially because as i already mentioned they could have used something that was not just a little bit safer but a huge amount safer
After jettisoning both the ballast AND the frame, that sub should have had plenty of positive buoyancy. It should not have needed to use the thrusters at all. In fact, it should have been impossible to stop it from rising. This sub was fighting to rise to the surface because it was too heavy and those thrusters were not designed to run at full power for that long. Even if the sub managed to get almost all the way back to the surface, as soon as those batteries failed, the sub would have started descending again. Rapidly.
That's my only explanation. If this script is really true, could there be an assassination attempt behind it? Additional weights could have been attached to the submarine.
@@hille422My guess is that the carbon fiber part of the hull (the cylindrical part) had developed micro-fractures from the repeated dives (repeated cycles of compression and relaxation) to the point where the material was no longer rigid. So each time the sub dove, the carbon fiber was actually flexing inward, slightly. This compressed the air inside the sub and would actually make it less buoyant, the deeper the sub went. In the messages, they say that the sub had almost reached the wreck of the Titanic nearly an hour ahead of schedule. It was diving much faster than it should have been. It would also explain why they were having so much trouble getting back to the surface, even after they had jettisoned both their ballast AND the frame. It should have been impossible to stop the sub from rising at that point. But they were actually having to use the thrusters to fight their way to the surface,
There is a young RUclipsr who posted a video showing him on the Polar Prince Ship readying to go down on Titan literally two weeks before this Group. However, the Titan had malfunctioned as they were close to the surface trying to descend so they "scrubbed" his trip and he went back to shore (alive and well). If you are here watching this video, I'd recommend that one. In any event, seems there had been a bunch of missions that had to scrubbed because of various problems that arose when they put Titan in the water. The Sub was never really ready for prime-time. Wonder if the Occupants knew about the prior failures and still opted to give it a try.
Everything I've seen has been showing the unchecked arrogance of the CEO. Belittling people concerned about safety, sinfully prideful in his unbelievably sketchy project. I'm sure he was gung ho "there's absolutely nothing to worry about" right up until that fucker imploded. Reckless man at the command of that company
There is also a Mexican RUclipsr that made a series of going down to the Titanic using the Titan. His first mission was scrubbed too do to difficulties, but the second one he was invited to, last year actually, he went successfully down to the Titanic using the Titan. Watch all his 4 videos about it. Even if I could not understand a word in Spanish (thankfully there were subtitles) it still was an interesting watch as you saw things news channels did not show. Rush was also a part of the first two videos, you can basically hear how proud he was of his invention. It actually made me sad a bit. He was so happy and proud of what he invented and really thought that his invention was going to work without a big fuzz. He was blinded by that proudness and his ego to see what others were trying to warn him about. It was still an interesting watch, especially after they made it to the Titanic and seeing the footage he got because of it.
@@bostonpeach690 The important question is, if a waiver is enough if it can be proven that the company knew of prior problems with the sub yet did not tell the customers. A waiver might protect them if something happens that could not have been foreseen. But if it can be proven, that there was a real track record of malfunctions that they simply ignored and kept secret, this might be something else entirely. Such a waiver might be contested.
As somebody who is claustrophobic, I can’t think of anything more horrifying than sitting in a tiny tin can and traveling to the bottom of the ocean. Even if everything went well. I can panicky getting an MRI.
I was always an avid swimmer, but my dad couldn't swim a shyte...he is almost 80, and still can't. I dubbed him "Rock Costeau".... They say this kid went to make dad happy...sorry, but I would have been the alive son of an unhappy dad...
What I struggle with the most in this disaster is when the coroner said Titan nose dived at a rate of 100ft per second after the power went out they just dropped like a stone and for a minute at least all passengers were in the pitch black piled on top of each other against the viewing glass, the rapid pressure increase became too much by the time they realised the vessel was breached they were already dead, small mercy in this instant death but the thought of being in the pitch black knowing it had gone wrong and nowhere to hide nothing to do to change it there's nothing scarier. CEO was an accident waiting to happen not a genius
They all smiled and signed multiple times their risk of death. The money could have been used for other problems instead of seeing (for some "again") a graveyard at 250K$ pp... Wealth comes with greed, stupidity and recklessness (like aiming to achieve the Rubicon world record next to thousands of lost souls)... I don't pity them at all.
@@KristenDETW I think the person just wrote what's on his mind... Part about money and stupidity is totally a result of low "iq" but some parts make sense. And ofc every human death is a tragedy. But still, we need to remember what happens in Africa and other places, because there human beings did not sign anything to later put them in suffering and slow, long death situations. That needs to be on the news every day, not small scale stuff like this. Also, the fact that the young man wanted to do rubiks cube actually is a bit cringe. Because if he did it, then many pros would just say-"ok, someone sponsor me a trip to even deeper place and i will do the same, easy, or send me to space, or put me in capsule and let a whale swallow me."... What's the point, that stuff has nothing to do with skill. So at the end it is good that this sub imploded. Because it means more safety and means that nobody else will die, just these few ppl who actually wanted to die. Tragic, but with good outcome at the end.
The Titanic rests in peace. It's just a shipwreck. The people who died aren't there after all. I think the excavations of the mummies in Egypt are more questionable.
Stockton's experience was ignoring anyone that knew what they were talking about or spoke up about his stupidity so definitely not the experience anyone should want or have to rely on. RIP to the people who died because of Stockton's idiocy, selfishness & greed.
For real, major ego issues. He even fired a guy with more knowledge than him just because he questioned the integrity and manufacturing method of the Titan. It’s so sad for the rest of the passengers but Stockton can rot. He put them in that situation because of his selfishness.
This was murder all hushed up about previous dives bad workmanship and poor David getting sacked wendy must of known about this he was a decent guy you family will have to live with this how can you sleep at night.
The aft crackling sounds turned out to be water seeping into the electrical system contained in the tail cone. This accounts for accelerated descent. They dropped ballast, and dropped the skids, they began ascent but were still unknowingly taking on water. Then the implosion. It also had multiple redundant systems for electricity. So when all monitors were in red, the redundant systems were all useless. It's horrifying to know that those on Titan were aware it was bad.
It sounds like they had two systems for power: Bus A and Bus B, each probably connected to their own battery. When he switched from Bus A, that tells me that battery is flat because he had been trying to ascend by using the thrusters and he did not get a lot of upward distance before the battery was flat. The second battery would also have flaked out soon so the ascending on thrusters idea was not gonna work. The monitors you were referring that are in the red, are the hull monitors - in short his hull was breaking up.
The crackling sounds came from the compression of the aft hemisphere on the rest of the carbon structure, already compromised, and probably detached at the attachment point. They were almost certainly taking on water somewhere, but not inside the cell, at least until the implosion.
"The aft crackling sounds turned out to be water seeping into the electrical system contained in the tail cone. " How do you know this, or are you just making this up?
Water went in, cutting power then they plunged nose first nose first, everyone thrown to that area, then cracking started again as they went further down standing in darkness hearing terrifying cracking.
Thank you for this recreation of the accident. As soon as I heard them not being able to ascend I got a sickening feeling. That would be the worst news, Stockton likely new there was water intrusion and compressing the ballast. And then relying on battery and thrusters just to maintain depth. That would have been terrifying. So sorry for the loss.
@@luisescoboza6797 the reason why, is because this transcript is a hoax. If you just search for it online, you will find several places explaining why. This video is a re-creation, in the same way that the movie titanic is a re-creation of what happened to the ship.
My word! I'm getting claustrophobic just hearing about how confined the space was. And then add descending into the ocean. Eff that! The mere thought of it is giving me an anxiety attack. That Stockton Rush fella tried to prove something that catastrophically backfired. I feel so terribly for that 19 year old kid who didn't really want to go, but did so for his dad and on Father's Day. That is some heartbreaking s-it right there. 😔
I think the reality is there was no way OceanGate could afford to take that sub out and sink it to Titanic depth without paying customers on board. The sub should have been sent down unoccupied and then gone through rigorous testing and analysis after the dive and repeat that multiple times. Looks to me like he was using paying passengers to fund what should have been a series of unmanned test dives.
There would have been little to see out the window for most of the descent. Even at or near the surface, they'd have only seen a lot of empty blue water out the window, unless some stray fish happened to be swimming by. Once they descended below about 600 feet or so, it would have been pitch black outside, as this is is below the depth that sunlight can penetrate. The rest of the way to the bottom is in perpetual eternal darkness and is about 29 degrees, the water temp is below freezing but the water doesn't freeze due to the salt content.
Thank you for sharing this great knowledge with the world. If it weren’t for you and the other 10 million people who have watched the news and all the documentaries and regurgitated it we would have never known
Hi Man(voice behind these videos). You are doing a great work. Nutty Putty cave incident video introduced your channel to me and i had binge watched all your videos after that. I'm sure you are gonna hit 1M soon.It is such a crazy channel. Please keep up the good work. Please do more videos on Aviation related accidents. Your voice is an icing on the cake for such videos.
He actually had only one actual engineer involved on this project, who refused to sign off on this project, he felt it would not hold up to the tremendous pressures at 3500 meters. I honestly can't believe these Billionaires did not do any research on this inadequate, experimental submersible. I feel bad for the young boy, who supposedly was hesitant to go.
Tony Nissen is the director of engineering, he can be seen in the ring gluing video. He was still there until they closed the company down. He is left holding the bag for Stockton-Rush's hubris.
Just sitting here listening to this makes my anxiety rise. I couldn’t imagine, don’t want to imagine what those people went through. Being afraid inside a "Pepsi can" close to the ocean floor with absolutely nothing you can do but wait for the very worst to happen... ugh! Those poor people... How dreadful!
@kgraham5820 They didn't go through anything. It happened before they knew. Whoever wrote the transcript has to be kicking himself that he isn't making money from all the people using it to post clickbait analysis.
@@robertgregory2618 That requires the transcript to be real. It might be real but people have all these firm conclusions despite not knowing if its real. I'm not saying it can't be real. But currently most discussions of the event are fueled by confirmation bias.
First thing I noticed was how fast they were descending. You have to go slow otherwise the hull would be compromised. I don’t know much about submarines but I do know about hiking. When scaling a mountain you cannot rush up. The air will get too thin and you won’t have time to adjust to the altitude change. If you’re not used to the air change it can be hard to breathe which can lead to issues. It seems to be a similar thing with diving in a submarine. If you go down too fast you can compromise your safety. I did some math and the numbers are… concerning, to say the least. At 8:19am the fifteen minute mark was reached. At 8:21 a response was given. They were at 756 meters. If they were descending at the planned rate of 25 mpm they should’ve been at 425 meters. The second check in at 30 minutes was sent out at 8:34 and a response was received nearly a minute later. At this point in time the Titan should’ve been at 750 meters. The next check in at 45 minutes occurred at 8:49 and a response was sent at 8:51. Their depth was 1934 meters when it should’ve been 1175 meters. Next check in at one hour occurred at 9:01 and a response was received at 9:02. The depth should’ve been 1525 meter. Last descent check in occurred at 9:15. Response received at 9:17. Depth was 2960 meters when it should’ve been 1925 meters. Alarms went off at 9:28, 86 minutes into the descent. The vessel should’ve been at 2150 meters, NOT 3433.
Thank you for the breakdown. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the issue here is that the captain was too arrogant to realize that his unexpected rate of descent should have been a red flag - and that if he had chosen to abort the descent within the first 30-45 minutes then they would all still be alive. Is that your conclusion as well?
@@TheNewHope2010 Ah yes, I apologize for not stating this in my comment. Yes, he was at fault for not being responsible and descending at a dangerous rate. He should’ve known the dangers. Either he was completely uneducated (which I highly doubt) or he thought he could pull it off.
excellent summary! analogous to the torque sequence on an engine head gasket in multiple phases so the pressure is evenly distributed. If done wrong the cylinder head can get fractures.
The question I have is... if there was communication with the Polar Prince which made it clear that something serious had gone wrong and an emergency ascent had been initiated... was there ever much of a question as to whether they had survived or not? Assuming they reported the crackling sound and then never surfaced, that makes it more likely than not that the sub had imploded, right? I mean, they had to have a pretty good idea of the possibilities at that point, and implosion would have been high on the list to anyone who understood the dynamics of the situation. I understand wanting to keep hope alive for the family members and such, but all the news reports that teased people's emotions for days by insinuating that they had simply lost contact with the sub and had no idea what happened seem extremely disingenuous in retrospect, if this leaked transcript is to be considered credible. It's also clear to me that, regardless of anything else, the descent was recklessly fast from the start. It sucks to know that when we put our lives in the hands of pilots or crewman, we're at the mercy of their best judgment, and they might be in the mood to take moderate risks based on their own sense of expertise or previous successes when taking risks or even delusional sense of invincibility. I don't know if it would have been different if they'd been entirely disciplined about sticking with the routine rate of descent- but they should have. There's never a good reason to take risks in a situation like this, where any small deviation from the safest protocols can result in utter catastrophe. If the descent had been slower, they may have had more time to realize what was happening before the pressure reached a breaking point. Maybe not, but it seems possible, from my limited understanding of the factors at play here.
I’ve read that oceangate knew all along the sub had most likely imploded, but for what ever reason they pretended otherwise and did not correct the media when they incorrectly speculated what was happening and starting counting down the estimated oxygen levels
Firstly, learn to paragraph. Your message has about as much thought put into it as this Titan Sub. Secondly, they didn't want to release what they may thought had happened in fear that they did resurface, and the company would have a bad reputation for Stockton Rush to continue further explorations. The CEO was a dictator if you read into any previous employees testimonies about working there, including qualified engineers.
@@geraf33 "Firstly"?? That's pig English and you're snarking about the lack of paragraphing? Good grief. Pay attention to the content rather than searching for nits to pick.
It's a terrible thing but if you go down there no matter how good your equipment is there's always a risk because it's never routine to do something like that at the bottom of the ocean
I would not go down there if they paid me $250,000 to go. Life is too short, the Titanic tragedy is all over youtube you can watch it 24 hours a day if you want.
How aware were some of the passengers of what was going on. The communication was by text. Who knows what Rush was telling the passengers. They knew alarms were going off Rush probably told them to go to sleep.
I have an uncle that was a tank gunner in Bastone. When he saw a row of Nazi tanks on the horizon he literally pissed his pants. His tank got hit and he escaped on foot in the middle of a tank battle. He found a dead Nazi, cut his belt and took his 32 and used it to create a safe path where he made it to another tank and climbed in.
How terrifying those last few minutes must have been for them!! Horrifying! I do wonder though if they didn't descend so rapidly if this could have possibly been prevented....
Cameron said that the crackling sound could have possibly been wires shorting out due to water getting into the battery compartment which would have added extra weight and explained the slow assent rate. He also read the transcript.
The part everyone is leaving out is, the us navy registered a small explosion under water about the time the sub lost communication. It's unclear why the media wanted to play a game by counting down the hours if oxygen, while they looked for the sub. It was already known it imploded.
Why is the media being blamed? They relay on statements and interviews obtained from the company and authorities. If they are told there is a chance they might still be alive, that's what they report.
I still cannot believe that anyone would pay $250,000.00 to give up all control of their personal safety, and allow themselves to be sealed into a metal capsule and dropped to the bottom of the ocean. Some people have more money than they have common sense.
A metal capsule that experts in the field were trying to ring warning bells about even when it was still in production to boot... It was a disaster in the making and a disaster it became.
It is because you dont have that money. Homeless people could say "i dont understand why all those idiots spend +100usd in a fancy dinner when the meat is cheaper in...." Once you gain more you start to spend more and the metric changes
We make similar decisions by stepping into airplanes. Les expensive, but we're still being hauled across incredible height and at much higher speeds, without us ourselves having any control is smth bad happens. There aren't even parachutes on board.
SCOTT is one of the largest reputable manufacturers of tanks for SCBA usage in firefighting, over the years heavy steel tanks became aluminum and lighter but they needed to become even lighter for rescue etc so a thin wall aluminum tank encased in Carbon Fiber was designed and released to the field. This composite material design probably fueled the idea to create a lighter submarine yet extremely strong. What I find blaring out at us is the pictures of the Titanium front cap or door being brought up to topside with the portal window missing. Apparently concern regarding its testing or working depth was brought into question. Either way we’re going to know exactly what happened soon.
My guess is that the porthole shattered when the sub imploded. The air inside is instantly compressed, causing an explosion. And it wasn't rated for the depth they were at either. But I don't think it was the point of initial failure. I think the glued joint holding the rear titanium hemisphere onto the carbon-fibre hull was the point of failure, just going by their reports cracking sounds in the rear. I could be wrong, but.
No expert here ofc. But does strength from impact actually always equate to strength from constant pressure? I can't imagine water tanks being under great pressure, if any at all other than the water weight
carbon fibre isn't a bad choice for containing high pressures. It's tensile strength is great, meaning if you make a tank which is designed to have high pressures inside it, it's good. Doing it the other way though there it's trying to keep pressure out? A lot of the compressive strength comes from the epoxy used to hold the carbon fibre in place, plastic basically. Go and suck the air out of a plastic bottle...
That's strange because everything that I've read and "understood" about carbon fiber hulls and implosions say that the implosion would happen in a few milliseconds. But now, if this transcript is real (🙄), it's looks like they had time to understand what was coming to them. Heck, even the fired engineer told that RTM system would only detect a failure right when it had to happen, so that it was basically useless 🤔. Tbh, I don't know what to think. As a pilot myself and also a guy who works in aeronautics, I know a bit about carbon fiber parts and every one of my work mates says the same thing that it wouldn't let anyone have the time to realize anything if it had to break. Carbon fiber failure mode is very energetic and sudden, unlike steel or metals, that tend to squeak and deform at least a bit before failure. Everything is mind bending with this story. I hope one day we'll be able to know what really happened.
The crack up would’ve happened before they knew it, but after they lost power and plunged downwards to rapidly in the darkness, they heard a return of terrifying cracking in the last minute that would’ve warned them What was about to happen. That’s what is meant by having time to know what was about to happen. Also, their initial and ongoing problems happened over about 20 minutes.
The actual implosion was a fraction of a second, but there was a period of time when signs that impending catastrophic failure was imminent. From first alarm to contact lost was 19 minutes, so something went wrong, that got worse until it caused the implosion. It was a painless death, but they new something bad was happening before that moment , and good god especially if they heard crackling sounds. They might've even had the wherewithal to punch Stockton in the face before it happened, as a "I told you so, damn liar".

Yet another reminder of the amateurishness of this operation, to be using carbon fiber in this context. After they lost power, they started plunging those first in the dark, hearing increasingly terrifying cracking as they descended
Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?

Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"
It seems that Stockton prioritized starting on-time more than safety. It's hard to believe that they didn't think something was off based on how fast they were descending.
James Cameron also experienced popping sounds in his craft in that amazing video of his trench descent going much deeper than Titan. It was really unnerving.
I was on a sub and when diving you always heard the crackling and popping noises it was no big deal & i never paid it any mind. It is because of the water pressure against the boat, the deeper you go the more you hear. Pounds per square inch adds up.
@@GAVACHO5150 a software company I worked for hired a former Navy veteran who told me as I was training him that “he had his hands on the nuke button” in a submarine. I found this odd because the Navy veteran was unkempt and lacked the discipline traits you’d ideally see in a military veteran. My suspicions were confirmed when he was fired after it was discovered he straight up lied about his military background. Moral of the story: a lot of people are full of shit, and not just on the internet where they’re even more full of shit.

Please direct us to your comments on the videos about desperate people leaving horrible places only to be left to perish in the ocean because resources were used for these kinds go centric fools.
Yes I believe the descent rate should have been controlled by a program considering it's importance to the integrity of the ship with a manual override if needed . Also I'm very curious to why they did not design the vessel in the shape of a sphere it may need to be larger to hold the same amount of people but it would be much stronger .
5:10 If they set engines for ascend and continued increasing descent speed, then there was a malfunction of control system. It seems that engines always worked for descent. Releasing ballast and the frame created ascending force bigger that descending engine force but the difference was such that ascending was slower than expected. The question is: "Does this have anything to do with strength of hull?" I think there were two incidents: 1. Engine control system failure 2. Hull failure They had to make complete titanium hull like Russians did for one of the fastest nuclear nuke submarines. I know it is expensive.
water destroyed the electrical system and subsequently limited thruster power. that was failure 1. failure 2 was catastrophic hull failure. that sub was built in a home depot parking lot. it should have never been launched
Before it happened, there was another father and son about to get on there; son convinced the father that the whole thing looked amateurish. Then the other father and son took their places. There were two billionaire customers on board, neither of whom took the time to research the company. It wouldn’t have taken much to learn the amateurishness and ineptitude involved with the company.
That’s what I was saying the news is always lying trying to make it seem like they were clueless the entire time. More than likely there was complete chaos before the thing finally collapsed.
The media was kept in the dark, apparently. Seems like the OceanGate idiots were hoping (against all evidence) that the sub would just pop up somewhere, totally OK, with everyone fine... even though they KNEW it was hopeless. They weren't saying what they already knew. Not to anyone. Trying to save face, I guess. And scared stiff of the consequences.
The Navy heard something and its easy to armchair quarterback and say definatively the noise they heard was the sub imploding when, in fact, they had no concrete evidence that it was. And if it was your loved one down there, would you want the navy to say, call off the search. They're dead." If indeed there was a possibilty they were still alive and waiting to be rescued and we did nothing? When they honestly didn't know at that point ANYTHING CONCRETELY!
6:37 "digging deep into his vast experience"? Bro he was UNQUALIFIED and unlicensed and fired all the people who said his sub was unsafe!! He took people to some of the most dangerous places on earth using an outdated VIDEOGAME controller fr
"OceanGate has not confirmed (nor denied?) the authenticity of the transcript". Carbon FIbre is strong in tension, not compression. The carbon fibre hull would have undergone immediate catastrophic delamination. any cracking noises heard would have come from the outside (non-compression chamber) section. The occupants would not have had time to even realise that the cracking noise from the compression chamber was the start of the almost instantaneous failure.
James Cameron said that he has clues that there's an implosion at 9:25. He said that they are all dead at that time and he will return to the Titanic for honoring his friend's memory, Paul-Henri Nargeolet aka "Mr Titanic" who was killed in that damn submarine by a selfish guy.
@@88ashwa I think they meant that 1 minute before they knew it would implode. 20 mins before they only knew something was wrong. That second cracking sound is probably what gave it away. Just imagine how scary it would be :O
They lost power, leading to the nose plunging down and throwing them into that area. They were left standing in the nose area in the darkness, hearing increasingly terrifying cracking again as depth increased.
The latest information I saw is that they lost power at an intermediate depth, then went nose downwards with no power, which is why they were going too fast, overloading the hull
But the question is: Why? If the transcript is authentic, then the Titan sank too fast from the start. After 75 minutes the man from mothership asked if they need to adjust velocity. Mr Rush ignored it.He said everything is under control. Thats not understandable to me. He didn't see that's something wrong. Why??? It was his submersible, wasn't it?
@@christinazimmermann1018 The latest that I’ve read is that they tried a couple of different methods to reduce ballast , including letting water out, and apparently in doing so it short-circuited the power totally as water seeped in to electrical in the amateurish arrangement. That caused the nose to drop, throwing everyone towards the nose as it plunged too rapidly as they stood in darkness listening to terrifying cracking.

It is terrible that the authorities continued to search for days even knowing they were lost. Who was ultimately responsible for the deception to the public and the wasted tax dollars??
Navy knew day of that the submersible had imploded. I also have no idea why there was a multi-day "search" when even officials acknowledged publicly that nothing could be done even if they did find it. All it did was feed nightmare scenarios and sensational reporting.
That seems like a scary really scary situation to be in Rush knew they was falling if they wasn’t able to slow decent it was just a matter of time, oh man what a nightmare way to die
After they lost power, the plunged nose first too rapidly in the darkness all standing in the nose area. They would’ve heard a return of terrifying, cracking as they went further down.
Even if it wasn't real (what I doubt) the submersible would have made sounds before implosion, because the material slowly gave in to the high pressure. They would have been worried before they died. Material gives in slowly, bit by bit before it collapses. That would have been loud in a small room like this.
@Unshou Why would they wait? Possibilities: 1) time to created a cover story, 2) time to destroy evidence incriminating to those on the Polar Prince, 3) The transcript is fake.
Ocean gate didn't need to contact anyone after the incident. The navy heard the implosion when it happened, and was in contact with ocean gate Shortly after. So basically the navy took control of the situation afterwards, but as the navy didn't offer any type of report on what was going on to the media, we get a situation where media in general makes things up, in this case reporting it took 9 hours for oceangate to contact anyone. Only question is, with the navy , they could of definitely reached out to the right professionals to get proper robots to the area immediately to search underneath, but it took quite a few days, compare that if Biden went on a submersible trip and contact was lost, the right kind of equipment to search would've been there very shortly.
@@seanashenmil5899 re: "The navy heard the implosion when it happened, and was in contact with ocean gate Shortly after." Source please? That is not the account widely reported ...
@@uploadJ source is out there, if you haven't caught it yet you haven't been doing your research, gotta let people do their own homework. It's been reported several times, you can't just base off everything the news channels say without looking elsewhere ,they really don't have all or true information and it's clear when they talk about the incident
His ego likely would have been fine with an accelerated cruise rate. "Hey, we'll get there quicker. Perfect!" The last minutes of his life were probably the only ones where he was forced to exist in reality.
So they knew what had happened before anyone got there yet still reported it as if they didn’t know?! That’s despicable. They should have said outright that there was an issue. The hull integrity alarms have sounded and now no response from the submersible. Also, the rate of descent played a big factor. If they’d have descended slower, the pressure would have impacted slower, likely causing the bull to remain in tact. Like if you clap against a balloon, it’ll pop but if you push it in slowly, it won’t until it reaches the breaking point.
I agree, the hull actually compresses as they go down. Descend too fast and the hull compresses too fast, temperature is uneven and compromises the glue holding layers of carbon fiber
The rate of descent was descending 2x faster than it should...because of a leak in the aft cone taking on water. After an hour and a half, they decided to abort the mission and ascend. The rate of ascent was too slow - because they were taking on water. Ballasts were dropped without negligible impact on ascent. They ditched the landing frame (after several attempts) to aid their ascent. *This is why the frame skids were unharmed when the ROV pulled them up from the sea floor* All indicator lights were in red as systems were failing - even when toggling BUS A to BUS B. The Titan had a series of 7 (?) redundant systems to support successful dives. There was nothing those back-up processes could do as the water was seeping into the mechanical/electrical systems. Tragic. May God rest their souls.
@@OneTequilaTwoTequila how'd you figure that one? ever squeezed a balloon slowly? it reaches a point of no return before it pops.. if you apply force onto it quickly, it pops.
It has to be real. The times match up, the context, the hour and 45 min arrival instead of 2.5hrs, the last text and time etc. It all lines up. Why didn’t anyone on polar prince say they’re going down too fast even if Rush didn’t ? Negligence, ignorance
Dude, it’s totally not real. Its made up. The person who made this up doesn’t know how to do the math on the rate of descent. The submersible sinks by freely falling due to gravity and so the rate of descent is the same every time. This person didn’t know how to calculate the speed so he made depths up and the rate of speed is nearly double what gravity would have taken it. Its made up.
@@johningram6262 Maybe the rate of descent is the same every time _if nothing goes wrong_. But what if water enters the sub through a leak, affecting buoyancy? After all, something must have been terribly going wrong on this journey. Besides of that, gravity is not the only force on this sub - it has electric motors to control the rate of descent and to steer the direction. If electricity had failed, the behavior would have changed. Of course jettisoning ballast should have helped then.
@@johningram6262 Titan got there in 1hr 45min. That wasn’t made up lol that’s a fact whether there’s a transcript or not, it’s literally 1hr 45min from start time to their last message and when the implosion occurred. A normal dive to the titanic takes 2.5hrs. Explain that to me😂 Idk what video and person you THINK I’m talking about but it’s not the one referenced in this video. It was a dive expert that broke down the entire transcript. He said it wasn’t authenticated but he still did the math and walked through the entire thing. Not only that but he did the math based on depths and times to figure up the rate of descent and said they were descending too fast. Also the Titan has this issue on other dives, also had troubles ascending. On another trip a passenger talks about trouble ascending and had been stuck on the bottom for 4hrs. Go be angry somewhere else. Calling something fake over and over again doesn’t make you right. If you’re going to debate something bring some evidence to the discussion
@@johningram6262 Also you’re not a submersible expert or a dive expert. They don’t “free fall” the same every time. It’s a controlled decent and they use thrusters and different methods to balance, descend and descend. So your free fall theory is simply false.
Omg imagine the 19 year old boy! I know he was mortified especially considering he was having cold feet about going in the first place due to the fact that he didn't know if he trusted the submersibles safety
I gotta say I'm a bit surprised/disappointed/saddened regarding Hamish.... the dude had been on a certified, legit, real deal, millions of dollars to produce submersible down to the deepest part of the ocean. He knew what a quality craft looked like, yet he willingly crawled into that rinky dink lemon POS without hesitation.
What I think happened was the pressure squeezed the carbon fiber to the point where the titanium caps that were only being held on my resin proxy glue popped off the end.
I could get to 2:52 in before I just couldn't hear any more. There haven't been many things that have ripped the very soul from my body... this is one of those things. May God have mercy on their souls.😢😢
I'd say they had time to realise death was approaching. Several minutes to panic about 'crackling' sounds. At least death was instant when it caught them.
In another really good video breakdown they said that going from A bus to B bus was them switching to the backup battery. So maybe water slightly leaked in from the cracks and killed their power? If they lost power they would’ve started descending again bc they would lose their thrusters. And that would definitely increase pressure and implode. So they were shutting themselves for a little while but they died quicker than the brain can process vision or pain
@@hardcorehouse They provide zero concrete facts with that and use zero transcripts or info to back it up. He just says they lost power and did a nose dive. Which is a lot like anyone else’s theories and guessing
Why in the world would the captain not be concerned that they were dropping nearly twice as fast as they should be? That is such an enormously big deal. If they had tried to sort that out when they were not very deep yet, and discovered they couldn't go up properly, at least they wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean yet.
Same with topside their inquired half way about speed but when captain saud no worries they just went along. Top side was essentially co pilot they needed to speak up strongly.
Stockton Rush was clearly not an expert! No point having a real time monitoring system when you built the entire sub out of the wrong material. I bet they had no mechanical way of dropping the ballast if there was an electrical failure.
According to another video, they had the ballasts chained up with a material which would dissolve in the water after 24 hours, releasing the ballasts automatically, no power needed. They were also able to roll the sub to shed the platform, which also didn't require any electricity (just cooperation of the occupants).
@@glenndoiron9317 "able to roll the sub to shed the platform", echoes of Das Boot as the crew rush to the torpedo room. So they had to 'hamster wheel' the sub to emergency drop the ballast, .I wonder if that was an OSHA approved method !?
If this transcript is authentic, the question arises why they were not alarmed way earlier by the too fast descent. Being at 1900 metres, half the depth of Titanic, after only 50 rather than the projected 75 minutes would have been a clear indication of a severe problem (engines to weak, or boat is too heavy, maybe water entering somewhere?). Also, why must the ship always ask what the depth and data of the sub is? Is there no automatic data transfer? (Well, no cable, but some sort of wireless transmission?)
The rapid descent only happened after they lost power, and the nose started plunging downwards. That threw them into the nose area and darkness, hearing increasingly louder and terrifying cracking.
No, they had to ask because there was ONLY text communication between the sub and Polar Prince. I believe they were descending so quickly this time vs. the other times because the sub was taking on water somewhere, unbeknownst to Rush. But you would think that the fact it was descending so quickly would’ve raised a red flag 🚩 with Rush but it apparently did not. Even if it would have, it might’ve already been too late to react successfully.
@2:58 it’s stated that Hamish Harding was on his first submersible trip, yet Mr Harding is known for his bold ventures and holds three Guinness World Records. One for travelling to the deepest part of the ocean for the longest time on a single dive - diving for a total of four hours and 15 minutes. Maybe statements should be checked before uploading
For what it's worth, the investigation concluded recently and released that this transcript was a complete fabrication. They had not communicated anything out of the ordinary to the surface ship.
If the failure happened aft of the ship the implosion would have hit the front view port. This may explain why is was recovered without the vinyl window, it probably blew out. I saw another thread where they had an animation with a red colour shooting out the front window. It looks like they may have correctly interpreted the failure mode and what happened to the pulverised remains of the "crew".
So the carbon fiber failed at the join to the rear titanium cap then. The carbon fiber can shrink with pressure whereas titanium won't leading to stress.
I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or just the plethora of information and extremely well execution of the detailing with animation, but I absolutely love this channel ❤️
Who's to say it was descending too fast? The narrator made a simplistic calculation. Which is 2.5hr x 60min is 150 minutes. 3,800m/150 = 25.333 meters per minute AVERAGE dive rate over 2.5 hours. Initially, its going to dive faster, since as it nears the bottom and the titanic wreckage its going to slow its descent and and stabilize. The fact it must initially accelerate from a standstill and arrive at a standstill DEMANDS that it dive faster than "average" in order to obtain the "average". The vessel ruptured because it was repeatedly stressed and eventually fatigued and ruptured on the 22nd or 23rd attempt to the bottom. The fact is, it worked. It worked almost two dozen times. It was designed to make it there and back. It succeeded. It was designed to repeat the feat, and it successfully completed that several times. It was NOT designed to make it there and back more than 20 times. But they were ignorant of what they didn't know. Composites are notoriously different to check for damage or even quality control in manufacturing. To make matters worse, they chose a dissimilar material, titanium, a metal, as the end cap of the pressure vessel. It has a radically different coefficient of thermal expansion, and will itself cause stresses in the composite material as temperature changes. And somehow the epoxy resin must bond to the metal, and maintain that bond thru thermal and pressure cycles for all eternity? No! Not possible.

I just found your channel yesterday and I have now watched all of your videos. I feel compelled to tell you that you have a gift for storytelling. You told each story in such a way that piqued my curiosity and interest. As each story progressed I was more invested and at the edge of my seat to hear the rest. Every story was well researched. I felt all the emotions for each family in every story. Not only did you tell the story with the utmost integrity, but you kept the dignity of each person in tact. These are beautiful memorials to every soul covered by your page. I am looking forward to more content by you.
Ditto this f😊r me as well, thank you, I have subscribed and binge listened to almost all shows, great job!!

Transcript is fake. This video is monetised. Guys is making a quick buck.
@@ObscureNemesis okay,
1. It's super hard to take you seriously when your username is "ObscureNemesis" 🙄
2. Idk how the transcript is fake. It exists; tells a story; the story matches the video; I can research the story myself to see if it's true.
3. Creating a video is not making a "quick buck" ... This is well researched, edited, and produced. Nothing about it is quick, sloppy, nor easy. Idk if he's monetised, he doesn't have very many videos out yet, but he deserves it if he is.
@@gobsmackedjacinda you are in no position to criticise anyone's usernames. As for the transcript, it has been confirmed that coms between the sub and surface ship were very limited due to nature of transmissions. They pretty much used prest of codes to send back and forth. They were not exchanging full on text chats. Hence this transcript is fake. Can't see how this video can be well researched if it's based on a fake transcript 🤷. I mean if you like, I can point you to some "well researched" and produced videos on flat earth, would be right up your alley.
It makes zero sense to go down there in person. You’re in a dry chamber, far less comfortable than your home sofa. You aren’t swimming around on your own, you aren’t going to actually touch the Titanic, you are just a passive observer. That means sitting in your comfortable home, next to a pile of $250k saved cash, watching a remote sub on your 80” TV, with snacks and bathroom breaks in a real bathroom, and as many of your family members or friends joining you as you can fit in your comfortable home. This is how to view the Titanic.
This reminds me of a dialogue from Jurassic Park 3:
"There are astronomers and there are astronauts. The astronomers can study everything from a completely safe place."
"But then they never come into space."
There’s a certain nerd factor for a select few that are obsessed with the idea of doing this. Which might explain why two billionaire customers didn’t bother to do basic research that would’ve warned them that this was an amateurish operation.
Factxxxxxx.. these people are thrill seekers willing to gamble their lives
You have an 80-inch TV? Holy crap
Agree
They knew he was going down too fast... He chose to ignore it.
Obviously he eventually figured out he was in trouble but by then it was too late.
How does speed of descent relate to hull strength?
Them fools should have just swam up to the top instead of staying down there and dying
@@mattwilliam5522From what depth!??
@mattwilliam5522 the submersible could only be opened from the outside anyway. They were sealed in. The depth and pressure would have done them in even if they could have gotten out.
@@mayhemschild I don't believe it I've been underwater and I can swim I'm a strong swimmer
That high descent rate caught my eye. Buoyancy in a submarine is a very delicate balance. Typically, neutral buoyancy is maintained, depth controlled by dive planes or, in the case of Titan, thrusters. In this dive, it appears that Titan had negative buoyancy, for some reason, starting from the beginning of the dive. Either somebody miscalculated the weights and balances, or the hull was already compromised.
What is the problem with diving using negative buoyancy? How does that contribute to a compromised hull?
Sounds good. That would also explain why it struggled to ascend. The whole operation was a mess from top to bottom.
That was my thoughts too... that should have been a massive red flag that something isnt right. Also to go down faster than it is designed to do the pressure increase is more abrupt and applies more strain that it would do decending slower. As soon as they realised it was depending too fast and they didnt know why, abort immediately surely
@@louisthibault555 Negative buoyancy implies that the sub wants to sink, naturally, and it will be difficult to get it to rise to the surface again. Subs are supposed to have basically neutral buoyancy, and then rise and sink based on control surfaces, thrusters, ballast, and things like that. If the buoyancy is too negative, then it will not be able to rise again no matter what you do. Not even after dumping all ballast, and setting all thrust/control surfaces upward. It will still descend, until it hits the bottom, then stay there. If the hull was compromised before the dive, it would have been taking on water right from the start, and that extra weight would contribute to the negative buoyancy. That doesn't seem to be the case here, as no leaks were reported, but it is possible that some of the floatation foam could have been damaged, or something else, external to the pressure hull, was taking on water (lights, batteries, motors, framing, etc.)
With the pilots experience from previous dives then, they should have taken note of the increased descent rate over previous dives. But if he didnt want to, then presumably the OIC or whoever was in charge of the dive topside should also have noted this as outside of normal, and requested the submersible to at least steady off, if not aborted. In any case, the rate of descent should/would have been planned and agreed for all dives, and followed every dive, so any alteration should have been noted and reacted to.
If this is true, the fact that they let the world look for this missing sub for days while counting down the hours of oxygen is astounding. Trying to save their butts im sure.
They had to be sure they were actually dead. They lost communications and suspended from the transcript that the sub imploded but at that moment in time it was like Schrödinger’s cat. They were simultaneously dead and alive till the box (sub in this case) was opened and viewed
Suspected*
The media are normally good at uncovering evidence. Must have been another agenda at play here.
No. Trying to deflect attention away from other more important issues. I.e. Biden brides, cocaine in White House, pedo problem
@@JustinLodes There had been loss of communication for long periods of time in previous dives according to interviews by previous passengers as well. It stands to reason there may have been a chance they were on the surface somewhere. The transcript has not yet been verified/confirmed as authentic.

I'm late 80s so maybe this is unknown to you , but there has always been risk takers and one was named "Red Hill" . He packed himself into a 55gal drum rapped himself in foam rubber and went down the rapids at N.F. and over the brink !! He dropped the 150 or more feet to the rocky bottom . (he had no thrusters to slow his discent lol) !! That was I believe around 1955 or before . That was his Titan . I can't remember if he was successful or not . Many have tried different methods , some lucked out . I remember a little 7yr old boy who accidently went over after falling out of a small boat up river with only shorts and life jacket . He survived the ordeal with only a few bruises -- wow ! When interviewed , he couldn't recall his 'trip' !! Last I heard several years ago , he lived in Texas but still had no memory of his ordeal . I'm sorry for what happened to the 5 men in this sub , but they were willing to take this gamble for what they felt was worth it . RIP.

Agreed!🎉😊
From the looks of it this simply was a case of Rush overestimating his abilities. I grew up in an archipelago is the Pacific Ocean. What a lot of people don`t seem to understand is that the ocean can be a very merciless, unforgiving place. Look at what happened to the very vessel they were planning to visit. When it was launched in Southampton, UK, that ever ship was touted to be unsinkable. There could be no greater irony than this. I pity the kid who only went along for his father`s sake.
Actually , built, and therefore Launched from Belfast Northern Ireland ( part of UK granted , but READ) , therefore you wont look silly😜
Trying to be a smart ass arent@@jezztech Would you mind reading my comment properly I was clearly talking about the Titanic. All records will show the launch of the maiden voyage was from Southampton. Now who`s looking silly. And if you`re American, I`ll forgive you.😁😆😆😆😆
@@jezztech You look silly for trying to correct him using it’s transfer from dockyard to port. It’s maiden commercial voyage was from Southampton. Or do you want to be even more tedious and we can say it started in Sheffield where the steel was fabricated?
Pleb
his the only 1 who is feel sorry fuck the others they deserved it in my honest opinion especially because of the fact that they descended deeper and deeper at too much of a fast rate otherwise if they was going down more slowly then by the time that something was wrong with the sub then they almost 100 percent dead certain would have been only at 3000 thousand meters deep rather than almost 3500 meters deep and would have therefore almost 100 percent dead certain would have survived as even just 500 meters less the water pressure would have been that much less to the point that the sub would have almost 100 percent dead certain would have had the power to past back up to the surface also why would someone build a sub that struggles to go only 12000 feet deep maximum rather than at least 20000 thousand feet maximum just to be on the safe side i mean seriously we could build things that could go as deep as 30000 thousand plus feet deep even since the 1960s so nowadays that would probably be more like 40000 or even 50000 thousand feet deep since we have come a very very long long way in technology since the 1960s just as a perfect example just look at an f1 car now compared to back in the 1960s way stronger in a crash due to huge advancements in making better stronger materials also way faster as well etc so really you cant really feel sorry for them and their stupidity especially because as i already mentioned they could have used something that was not just a little bit safer but a huge amount safer
The kid is the only one I feel sorry for because he didn't want to be there.
After jettisoning both the ballast AND the frame, that sub should have had plenty of positive buoyancy. It should not have needed to use the thrusters at all. In fact, it should have been impossible to stop it from rising.
This sub was fighting to rise to the surface because it was too heavy and those thrusters were not designed to run at full power for that long. Even if the sub managed to get almost all the way back to the surface, as soon as those batteries failed, the sub would have started descending again. Rapidly.
That's my only explanation. If this script is really true, could there be an assassination attempt behind it? Additional weights could have been attached to the submarine.
@@rebelzander5782that's what you're really wondering?
@@rebelzander5782 ?????
Too heavy from what though? From my understanding, these submersibles cannot take on any amount of water without imploding.
@@hille422My guess is that the carbon fiber part of the hull (the cylindrical part) had developed micro-fractures from the repeated dives (repeated cycles of compression and relaxation) to the point where the material was no longer rigid. So each time the sub dove, the carbon fiber was actually flexing inward, slightly. This compressed the air inside the sub and would actually make it less buoyant, the deeper the sub went.
In the messages, they say that the sub had almost reached the wreck of the Titanic nearly an hour ahead of schedule. It was diving much faster than it should have been. It would also explain why they were having so much trouble getting back to the surface, even after they had jettisoned both their ballast AND the frame. It should have been impossible to stop the sub from rising at that point. But they were actually having to use the thrusters to fight their way to the surface,
There is a young RUclipsr who posted a video showing him on the Polar Prince Ship readying to go down on Titan literally two weeks before this Group. However, the Titan had malfunctioned as they were close to the surface trying to descend so they "scrubbed" his trip and he went back to shore (alive and well). If you are here watching this video, I'd recommend that one. In any event, seems there had been a bunch of missions that had to scrubbed because of various problems that arose when they put Titan in the water. The Sub was never really ready for prime-time. Wonder if the Occupants knew about the prior failures and still opted to give it a try.
Everything I've seen has been showing the unchecked arrogance of the CEO.
Belittling people concerned about safety, sinfully prideful in his unbelievably sketchy project.
I'm sure he was gung ho "there's absolutely nothing to worry about" right up until that fucker imploded.
Reckless man at the command of that company
They still signed the waiver unfortunately
There is also a Mexican RUclipsr that made a series of going down to the Titanic using the Titan. His first mission was scrubbed too do to difficulties, but the second one he was invited to, last year actually, he went successfully down to the Titanic using the Titan. Watch all his 4 videos about it. Even if I could not understand a word in Spanish (thankfully there were subtitles) it still was an interesting watch as you saw things news channels did not show.
Rush was also a part of the first two videos, you can basically hear how proud he was of his invention. It actually made me sad a bit. He was so happy and proud of what he invented and really thought that his invention was going to work without a big fuzz. He was blinded by that proudness and his ego to see what others were trying to warn him about.
It was still an interesting watch, especially after they made it to the Titanic and seeing the footage he got because of it.
@@bostonpeach690 The important question is, if a waiver is enough if it can be proven that the company knew of prior problems with the sub yet did not tell the customers.
A waiver might protect them if something happens that could not have been foreseen. But if it can be proven, that there was a real track record of malfunctions that they simply ignored and kept secret, this might be something else entirely. Such a waiver might be contested.
you talking about dallmyd?

What I struggle with the most in this disaster is when the coroner said Titan nose dived at a rate of 100ft per second after the power went out they just dropped like a stone and for a minute at least all passengers were in the pitch black piled on top of each other against the viewing glass, the rapid pressure increase became too much by the time they realised the vessel was breached they were already dead, small mercy in this instant death but the thought of being in the pitch black knowing it had gone wrong and nowhere to hide nothing to do to change it there's nothing scarier. CEO was an accident waiting to happen not a genius
They all smiled and signed multiple times their risk of death. The money could have been used for other problems instead of seeing (for some "again") a graveyard at 250K$ pp... Wealth comes with greed, stupidity and recklessness (like aiming to achieve the Rubicon world record next to thousands of lost souls)... I don't pity them at all.
@@Xalabasterbeing gleeful about a 19yr old dying? Go play in traffic
@@KristenDETW I think the person just wrote what's on his mind... Part about money and stupidity is totally a result of low "iq" but some parts make sense. And ofc every human death is a tragedy. But still, we need to remember what happens in Africa and other places, because there human beings did not sign anything to later put them in suffering and slow, long death situations. That needs to be on the news every day, not small scale stuff like this. Also, the fact that the young man wanted to do rubiks cube actually is a bit cringe. Because if he did it, then many pros would just say-"ok, someone sponsor me a trip to even deeper place and i will do the same, easy, or send me to space, or put me in capsule and let a whale swallow me."... What's the point, that stuff has nothing to do with skill. So at the end it is good that this sub imploded. Because it means more safety and means that nobody else will die, just these few ppl who actually wanted to die. Tragic, but with good outcome at the end.

The Titanic rests in peace. It's just a shipwreck. The people who died aren't there after all. I think the excavations of the mummies in Egypt are more questionable.

@@gorgono1google it, basically Stockton ignored all safety measures when he designed titan
This was murder all hushed up about previous dives bad workmanship and poor David getting sacked wendy must of known about this he was a decent guy you family will have to live with this how can you sleep at night.
The aft crackling sounds turned out to be water seeping into the electrical system contained in the tail cone. This accounts for accelerated descent.
They dropped ballast, and dropped the skids, they began ascent but were still unknowingly taking on water. Then the implosion.
It also had multiple redundant systems for electricity. So when all monitors were in red, the redundant systems were all useless. It's horrifying to know that those on Titan were aware it was bad.
It sounds like they had two systems for power: Bus A and Bus B, each probably connected to their own battery. When he switched from Bus A, that tells me that battery is flat because he had been trying to ascend by using the thrusters and he did not get a lot of upward distance before the battery was flat. The second battery would also have flaked out soon so the ascending on thrusters idea was not gonna work. The monitors you were referring that are in the red, are the hull monitors - in short his hull was breaking up.
The crackling sounds came from the compression of the aft hemisphere on the rest of the carbon structure, already compromised, and probably detached at the attachment point. They were almost certainly taking on water somewhere, but not inside the cell, at least until the implosion.
"The aft crackling sounds turned out to be water seeping into the electrical system contained in the tail cone. " How do you know this, or are you just making this up?
Water went in, cutting power then they plunged nose first nose first, everyone thrown to that area, then cracking started again as they went further down standing in darkness hearing terrifying cracking.
@@SRFDriver Yes, just making it up. This "transcript" is almost certainly fake IMHO.
Thank you for this recreation of the accident. As soon as I heard them not being able to ascend I got a sickening feeling. That would be the worst news, Stockton likely new there was water intrusion and compressing the ballast. And then relying on battery and thrusters just to maintain depth. That would have been terrifying. So sorry for the loss.
Bunch of rich fucks doing stupid shit and cutting corners the whole way paid the VERY predictable consequences. Nothing of value was lost.
Does this also explain why releasing all of the weights did not immediately lead to an ascent. I assume yes, but this is not my wheelhouse.
@@luisescoboza6797 the reason why, is because this transcript is a hoax. If you just search for it online, you will find several places explaining why. This video is a re-creation, in the same way that the movie titanic is a re-creation of what happened to the ship.
I just hope they can get to the survivors before they run out of oxygen, the banging noises are now 4 days apart.
@@guri256 That movie is actually extremely accurate. Cameron used testimony and records plus his own dives and experts to create the film.
My word! I'm getting claustrophobic just hearing about how confined the space was. And then add descending into the ocean. Eff that! The mere thought of it is giving me an anxiety attack.
That Stockton Rush fella tried to prove something that catastrophically backfired. I feel so terribly for that 19 year old kid who didn't really want to go, but did so for his dad and on Father's Day. That is some heartbreaking s-it right there. 😔
I think the reality is there was no way OceanGate could afford to take that sub out and sink it to Titanic depth without paying customers on board. The sub should have been sent down unoccupied and then gone through rigorous testing and analysis after the dive and repeat that multiple times. Looks to me like he was using paying passengers to fund what should have been a series of unmanned test dives.
That kid's Mom was meant to go and backed out so he could go. Imagine living with that. Fuck. Poor woman.
@@jamiestewart48 I can't begin to imagine 💔
my thoughts! R.I.P.!
The mother said that he really really wanted to go and she let him take her place according to earlier reports.
There would have been little to see out the window for most of the descent. Even at or near the surface, they'd have only seen a lot of empty blue water out the window, unless some stray fish happened to be swimming by. Once they descended below about 600 feet or so, it would have been pitch black outside, as this is is below the depth that sunlight can penetrate. The rest of the way to the bottom is in perpetual eternal darkness and is about 29 degrees, the water temp is below freezing but the water doesn't freeze due to the salt content.

@@robertgregory2618 That requires the transcript to be real.
It might be real but people have all these firm conclusions despite not knowing if its real.
I'm not saying it can't be real. But currently most discussions of the event are fueled by confirmation bias.
First thing I noticed was how fast they were descending. You have to go slow otherwise the hull would be compromised. I don’t know much about submarines but I do know about hiking. When scaling a mountain you cannot rush up. The air will get too thin and you won’t have time to adjust to the altitude change. If you’re not used to the air change it can be hard to breathe which can lead to issues. It seems to be a similar thing with diving in a submarine. If you go down too fast you can compromise your safety.
I did some math and the numbers are… concerning, to say the least.
At 8:19am the fifteen minute mark was reached. At 8:21 a response was given. They were at 756 meters. If they were descending at the planned rate of 25 mpm they should’ve been at 425 meters.
The second check in at 30 minutes was sent out at 8:34 and a response was received nearly a minute later. At this point in time the Titan should’ve been at 750 meters.
The next check in at 45 minutes occurred at 8:49 and a response was sent at 8:51. Their depth was 1934 meters when it should’ve been 1175 meters.
Next check in at one hour occurred at 9:01 and a response was received at 9:02. The depth should’ve been 1525 meter.
Last descent check in occurred at 9:15. Response received at 9:17. Depth was 2960 meters when it should’ve been 1925 meters.
Alarms went off at 9:28, 86 minutes into the descent. The vessel should’ve been at 2150 meters, NOT 3433.
Thank you for the breakdown. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems that the issue here is that the captain was too arrogant to realize that his unexpected rate of descent should have been a red flag - and that if he had chosen to abort the descent within the first 30-45 minutes then they would all still be alive. Is that your conclusion as well?
@@TheNewHope2010 Ah yes, I apologize for not stating this in my comment. Yes, he was at fault for not being responsible and descending at a dangerous rate. He should’ve known the dangers. Either he was completely uneducated (which I highly doubt) or he thought he could pull it off.
@@ShiQingxuanSimp Got it! Thank you so much. Bravado is a helluva drug! So sad so many other lives had to be lost because of it. 😔
Dude, you didn't notice anything that someone didn't already tell you.
excellent summary! analogous to the torque sequence on an engine head gasket in multiple phases so the pressure is evenly distributed. If done wrong the cylinder head can get fractures.
The question I have is... if there was communication with the Polar Prince which made it clear that something serious had gone wrong and an emergency ascent had been initiated... was there ever much of a question as to whether they had survived or not? Assuming they reported the crackling sound and then never surfaced, that makes it more likely than not that the sub had imploded, right? I mean, they had to have a pretty good idea of the possibilities at that point, and implosion would have been high on the list to anyone who understood the dynamics of the situation. I understand wanting to keep hope alive for the family members and such, but all the news reports that teased people's emotions for days by insinuating that they had simply lost contact with the sub and had no idea what happened seem extremely disingenuous in retrospect, if this leaked transcript is to be considered credible. It's also clear to me that, regardless of anything else, the descent was recklessly fast from the start. It sucks to know that when we put our lives in the hands of pilots or crewman, we're at the mercy of their best judgment, and they might be in the mood to take moderate risks based on their own sense of expertise or previous successes when taking risks or even delusional sense of invincibility. I don't know if it would have been different if they'd been entirely disciplined about sticking with the routine rate of descent- but they should have. There's never a good reason to take risks in a situation like this, where any small deviation from the safest protocols can result in utter catastrophe. If the descent had been slower, they may have had more time to realize what was happening before the pressure reached a breaking point. Maybe not, but it seems possible, from my limited understanding of the factors at play here.
I’ve read that oceangate knew all along the sub had most likely imploded, but for what ever reason they pretended otherwise and did not correct the media when they incorrectly speculated what was happening and starting counting down the estimated oxygen levels

How aware were some of the passengers of what was going on. The communication was by text. Who knows what Rush was telling the passengers. They knew alarms were going off Rush probably told them to go to sleep.
Yeah, they'll be sleeping all right. That sub was a one-way ticket to bedtime, just not in the way they'd anticipated.
What I am sure of is that they were in the dark, descending and hearing cracking. Enough said.
I have an uncle that was a tank gunner in Bastone. When he saw a row of Nazi tanks on the horizon he literally pissed his pants. His tank got hit and he escaped on foot in the middle of a tank battle. He found a dead Nazi, cut his belt and took his 32 and used it to create a safe path where he made it to another tank and climbed in.
How terrifying those last few minutes must have been for them!! Horrifying! I do wonder though if they didn't descend so rapidly if this could have possibly been prevented....
Cameron said that the crackling sound could have possibly been wires shorting out due to water getting into the battery compartment which would have added extra weight and explained the slow assent rate.
He also read the transcript.
The part everyone is leaving out is, the us navy registered a small explosion under water about the time the sub lost communication. It's unclear why the media wanted to play a game by counting down the hours if oxygen, while they looked for the sub. It was already known it imploded.
Why is the media being blamed? They relay on statements and interviews obtained from the company and authorities. If they are told there is a chance they might still be alive, that's what they report.
I still cannot believe that anyone would pay $250,000.00 to give up all control of their personal safety, and allow themselves to be sealed into a metal capsule and dropped to the bottom of the ocean. Some people have more money than they have common sense.
I know right,when u have that kinda money,u make someone else take the risk while you sit in your stately manor.
A metal capsule that experts in the field were trying to ring warning bells about even when it was still in production to boot... It was a disaster in the making and a disaster it became.
It is because you dont have that money.
Homeless people could say "i dont understand why all those idiots spend +100usd in a fancy dinner when the meat is cheaper in...."

@@castiel4746just like normal people, there are rich people with common sense and then there's these passengers
We make similar decisions by stepping into airplanes. Les expensive, but we're still being hauled across incredible height and at much higher speeds, without us ourselves having any control is smth bad happens. There aren't even parachutes on board.
SCOTT is one of the largest reputable manufacturers of tanks for SCBA usage in firefighting, over the years heavy steel tanks became aluminum and lighter but they needed to become even lighter for rescue etc so a thin wall aluminum tank encased in Carbon Fiber was designed and released to the field. This composite material design probably fueled the idea to create a lighter submarine yet extremely strong. What I find blaring out at us is the pictures of the Titanium front cap or door being brought up to topside with the portal window missing. Apparently concern regarding its testing or working depth was brought into question. Either way we’re going to know exactly what happened soon.
My guess is that the porthole shattered when the sub imploded. The air inside is instantly compressed, causing an explosion. And it wasn't rated for the depth they were at either. But I don't think it was the point of initial failure. I think the glued joint holding the rear titanium hemisphere onto the carbon-fibre hull was the point of failure, just going by their reports cracking sounds in the rear. I could be wrong, but.
No expert here ofc. But does strength from impact actually always equate to strength from constant pressure? I can't imagine water tanks being under great pressure, if any at all other than the water weight
carbon fibre isn't a bad choice for containing high pressures. It's tensile strength is great, meaning if you make a tank which is designed to have high pressures inside it, it's good.
Doing it the other way though there it's trying to keep pressure out? A lot of the compressive strength comes from the epoxy used to hold the carbon fibre in place, plastic basically. Go and suck the air out of a plastic bottle...
The interior shock wave blew out the window. Just like you can hit the base of a wine bottle inside a shoe on the floor and pop out the cork.
That's strange because everything that I've read and "understood" about carbon fiber hulls and implosions say that the implosion would happen in a few milliseconds. But now, if this transcript is real (🙄), it's looks like they had time to understand what was coming to them. Heck, even the fired engineer told that RTM system would only detect a failure right when it had to happen, so that it was basically useless 🤔.
Tbh, I don't know what to think. As a pilot myself and also a guy who works in aeronautics, I know a bit about carbon fiber parts and every one of my work mates says the same thing that it wouldn't let anyone have the time to realize anything if it had to break. Carbon fiber failure mode is very energetic and sudden, unlike steel or metals, that tend to squeak and deform at least a bit before failure.
Everything is mind bending with this story. I hope one day we'll be able to know what really happened.
The crack up would’ve happened before they knew it, but after they lost power and plunged downwards to rapidly in the darkness, they heard a return of terrifying cracking in the last minute that would’ve warned them What was about to happen. That’s what is meant by having time to know what was about to happen. Also, their initial and ongoing problems happened over about 20 minutes.
This transcript is completely fake
You may be right. I don’t have evidence that it’s real, but what makes you believe it’s not authentic?
The actual implosion was a fraction of a second, but there was a period of time when signs that impending catastrophic failure was imminent. From first alarm to contact lost was 19 minutes, so something went wrong, that got worse until it caused the implosion. It was a painless death, but they new something bad was happening before that moment , and good god especially if they heard crackling sounds. They might've even had the wherewithal to punch Stockton in the face before it happened, as a "I told you so, damn liar".

It seems that Stockton prioritized starting on-time more than safety. It's hard to believe that they didn't think something was off based on how fast they were descending.
James Cameron also experienced popping sounds in his craft in that amazing video of his trench descent going much deeper than Titan. It was really unnerving.
I was on a sub and when diving you always heard the crackling and popping noises it was no big deal & i never paid it any mind. It is because of the water pressure against the boat, the deeper you go the more you hear. Pounds per square inch adds up.

@@Smooshes786 Regardless its still a human life rip
@@Omega-wi6fl AND? They worked for their money.
Yes I believe the descent rate should have been controlled by a program considering it's importance to the integrity of the ship with a manual override if needed . Also I'm very curious to why they did not design the vessel in the shape of a sphere it may need to be larger to hold the same amount of people but it would be much stronger .
Indeed, a sphere is the most structurally sound in the deep.
5:10 If they set engines for ascend and continued increasing descent speed, then there was a malfunction of control system. It seems that engines always worked for descent. Releasing ballast and the frame created ascending force bigger that descending engine force but the difference was such that ascending was slower than expected. The question is: "Does this have anything to do with strength of hull?"
I think there were two incidents:
1. Engine control system failure
2. Hull failure
They had to make complete titanium hull like Russians did for one of the fastest nuclear nuke submarines. I know it is expensive.
It was Titanium it was wrapped in carbon fiber
@@Texas2Step79, yes, but the original comment said "complete titanium", as in 100%, I guess.
@@MehdiCapsII yeah can't recall the source but I saw the video of it being made and it shows the CF being spun onto the hull
they were ascending but very slooowly. I suppose its possible they eventually could have made it up in a week.
water destroyed the electrical system and subsequently limited thruster power. that was failure 1. failure 2 was catastrophic hull failure. that sub was built in a home depot parking lot. it should have never been launched
They should have listened to the young man’s discomfort.
That's exactly what I thought.
Before it happened, there was another father and son about to get on there; son convinced the father that the whole thing looked amateurish. Then the other father and son took their places. There were two billionaire customers on board, neither of whom took the time to research the company. It wouldn’t have taken much to learn the amateurishness and ineptitude involved with the company.

Good. They were members of wef. They wanted to rule every aspect of your life and here you are pitying them. Wild.
It is clear that all is lost 19 mins. after alarm. Why did it take the news media days to acknowledge this?
Who cares,makes no difference
The media was kept in the dark, apparently. Seems like the OceanGate idiots were hoping (against all evidence) that the sub would just pop up somewhere, totally OK, with everyone fine... even though they KNEW it was hopeless. They weren't saying what they already knew. Not to anyone. Trying to save face, I guess. And scared stiff of the consequences.
....and during those 19 minutes, they were trying to surface. Horrific.
Because: Orange Man Bad!
The Navy heard something and its easy to armchair quarterback and say definatively the noise they heard was the sub imploding when, in fact, they had no concrete evidence that it was. And if it was your loved one down there, would you want the navy to say, call off the search. They're dead." If indeed there was a possibilty they were still alive and waiting to be rescued and we did nothing? When they honestly didn't know at that point ANYTHING CONCRETELY!
6:37 "digging deep into his vast experience"? Bro he was UNQUALIFIED and unlicensed and fired all the people who said his sub was unsafe!! He took people to some of the most dangerous places on earth using an outdated VIDEOGAME controller fr
The sub began taking water, hence the reason it sank and ultimately pulverized
"OceanGate has not confirmed (nor denied?) the authenticity of the transcript".
Carbon FIbre is strong in tension, not compression. The carbon fibre hull would have undergone immediate catastrophic delamination. any cracking noises heard would have come from the outside (non-compression chamber) section. The occupants would not have had time to even realise that the cracking noise from the compression chamber was the start of the almost instantaneous failure.
James Cameron said that he has clues that there's an implosion at 9:25. He said that they are all dead at that time and he will return to the Titanic for honoring his friend's memory, Paul-Henri Nargeolet aka "Mr Titanic" who was killed in that damn submarine by a selfish guy.

Apparently they where descending too fast.
The latest information I saw is that they lost power at an intermediate depth, then went nose downwards with no power, which is why they were going too fast, overloading the hull
But the question is: Why? If the transcript is authentic, then the Titan sank too fast from the start. After 75 minutes the man from mothership asked if they need to adjust velocity. Mr Rush ignored it.He said everything is under control. Thats not understandable to me. He didn't see that's something wrong. Why??? It was his submersible, wasn't it?
@@christinazimmermann1018 The latest that I’ve read is that they tried a couple of different methods to reduce ballast , including letting water out, and apparently in doing so it short-circuited the power totally as water seeped in to electrical in the amateurish arrangement. That caused the nose to drop, throwing everyone towards the nose as it plunged too rapidly as they stood in darkness listening to terrifying cracking.
The unusual high rate of descend should have been a major warning, but all these high IQ experts just had a "happy ride".
This is all base on transcript which has been proven to be a hoax, descend rate most likely had nothing to do with this accident

Even if it wasn't real (what I doubt) the submersible would have made sounds before implosion, because the material slowly gave in to the high pressure. They would have been worried before they died. Material gives in slowly, bit by bit before it collapses. That would have been loud in a small room like this.
@@gamerinavangaming hopefully the sounds were only noticeable for a short time before the implosion.
Choosing carbon fiber material for the hull was a huge mistake. It was only a matter of time and pressure. It really is that simple.
I don't think it was a good idea to use Elmer's glue and Scotch tape. That Nintendo/ Atari joystick was also a No-No!
And the worst part about this is that, even after losing contact with the sub, those on the ship waited for 9 hours before raising the alarm. 9 hours!
@Unshou
Why would they wait? Possibilities: 1) time to created a cover story, 2) time to destroy evidence incriminating to those on the Polar Prince, 3) The transcript is fake.
@bradkay I strongly agree with #2
Ocean gate didn't need to contact anyone after the incident. The navy heard the implosion when it happened, and was in contact with ocean gate Shortly after. So basically the navy took control of the situation afterwards, but as the navy didn't offer any type of report on what was going on to the media, we get a situation where media in general makes things up, in this case reporting it took 9 hours for oceangate to contact anyone.
Only question is, with the navy , they could of definitely reached out to the right professionals to get proper robots to the area immediately to search underneath, but it took quite a few days, compare that if Biden went on a submersible trip and contact was lost, the right kind of equipment to search would've been there very shortly.

His ego likely would have been fine with an accelerated cruise rate. "Hey, we'll get there quicker. Perfect!" The last minutes of his life were probably the only ones where he was forced to exist in reality.
The nutty putty incident somehow came up in my recommendations...and now I'm watching all of his videos......thank you for bringing such a content!
So they knew what had happened before anyone got there yet still reported it as if they didn’t know?! That’s despicable. They should have said outright that there was an issue. The hull integrity alarms have sounded and now no response from the submersible.
Also, the rate of descent played a big factor. If they’d have descended slower, the pressure would have impacted slower, likely causing the bull to remain in tact. Like if you clap against a balloon, it’ll pop but if you push it in slowly, it won’t until it reaches the breaking point.
That sounds like speculation. I bet it still implodes in a blink of an eye.
I agree, the hull actually compresses as they go down. Descend too fast and the hull compresses too fast, temperature is uneven and compromises the glue holding layers of carbon fiber
The rate of descent was descending 2x faster than it should...because of a leak in the aft cone taking on water.
After an hour and a half, they decided to abort the mission and ascend. The rate of ascent was too slow - because they were taking on water.
Ballasts were dropped without negligible impact on ascent. They ditched the landing frame (after several attempts) to aid their ascent.
*This is why the frame skids were unharmed when the ROV pulled them up from the sea floor*
All indicator lights were in red as systems were failing - even when toggling BUS A to BUS B.
The Titan had a series of 7 (?) redundant systems to support successful dives. There was nothing those back-up processes could do as the water was seeping into the mechanical/electrical systems.
Tragic. May God rest their souls.

It has to be real. The times match up, the context, the hour and 45 min arrival instead of 2.5hrs, the last text and time etc. It all lines up. Why didn’t anyone on polar prince say they’re going down too fast even if Rush didn’t ? Negligence, ignorance
Dude, it’s totally not real. Its made up. The person who made this up doesn’t know how to do the math on the rate of descent. The submersible sinks by freely falling due to gravity and so the rate of descent is the same every time. This person didn’t know how to calculate the speed so he made depths up and the rate of speed is nearly double what gravity would have taken it. Its made up.
@@johningram6262 Maybe the rate of descent is the same every time _if nothing goes wrong_. But what if water enters the sub through a leak, affecting buoyancy? After all, something must have been terribly going wrong on this journey. Besides of that, gravity is not the only force on this sub - it has electric motors to control the rate of descent and to steer the direction. If electricity had failed, the behavior would have changed. Of course jettisoning ballast should have helped then.
@@johningram6262 Titan got there in 1hr 45min. That wasn’t made up lol that’s a fact whether there’s a transcript or not, it’s literally 1hr 45min from start time to their last message and when the implosion occurred. A normal dive to the titanic takes 2.5hrs. Explain that to me😂
Idk what video and person you THINK I’m talking about but it’s not the one referenced in this video. It was a dive expert that broke down the entire transcript. He said it wasn’t authenticated but he still did the math and walked through the entire thing. Not only that but he did the math based on depths and times to figure up the rate of descent and said they were descending too fast. Also the Titan has this issue on other dives, also had troubles ascending. On another trip a passenger talks about trouble ascending and had been stuck on the bottom for 4hrs.
Go be angry somewhere else. Calling something fake over and over again doesn’t make you right. If you’re going to debate something bring some evidence to the discussion
@@johningram6262 Also you’re not a submersible expert or a dive expert. They don’t “free fall” the same every time. It’s a controlled decent and they use thrusters and different methods to balance, descend and descend. So your free fall theory is simply false.

I'd say they had time to realise death was approaching. Several minutes to panic about 'crackling' sounds. At least death was instant when it caught them.
In another really good video breakdown they said that going from A bus to B bus was them switching to the backup battery. So maybe water slightly leaked in from the cracks and killed their power?
If they lost power they would’ve started descending again bc they would lose their thrusters. And that would definitely increase pressure and implode. So they were shutting themselves for a little while but they died quicker than the brain can process vision or pain
First, they lost power, causing the nose to plunge downwards too rapidly, which led to returned cracking as depth increased
@@hardcorehouse Yes, I also read articles on Google and watch the news lol
@@hardcorehouse They provide zero concrete facts with that and use zero transcripts or info to back it up. He just says they lost power and did a nose dive. Which is a lot like anyone else’s theories and guessing
Why in the world would the captain not be concerned that they were dropping nearly twice as fast as they should be?
That is such an enormously big deal. If they had tried to sort that out when they were not very deep yet, and discovered they couldn't go up properly, at least they wouldn't be at the bottom of the ocean yet.
Same with topside their inquired half way about speed but when captain saud no worries they just went along. Top side was essentially co pilot they needed to speak up strongly.
Stockton Rush was clearly not an expert! No point having a real time monitoring system when you built the entire sub out of the wrong material. I bet they had no mechanical way of dropping the ballast if there was an electrical failure.
According to another video, they had the ballasts chained up with a material which would dissolve in the water after 24 hours, releasing the ballasts automatically, no power needed. They were also able to roll the sub to shed the platform, which also didn't require any electricity (just cooperation of the occupants).
@@glenndoiron9317 "able to roll the sub to shed the platform", echoes of Das Boot as the crew rush to the torpedo room.
So they had to 'hamster wheel' the sub to emergency drop the ballast, .I wonder if that was an OSHA approved method !?
If this transcript is authentic, the question arises why they were not alarmed way earlier by the too fast descent. Being at 1900 metres, half the depth of Titanic, after only 50 rather than the projected 75 minutes would have been a clear indication of a severe problem (engines to weak, or boat is too heavy, maybe water entering somewhere?). Also, why must the ship always ask what the depth and data of the sub is? Is there no automatic data transfer? (Well, no cable, but some sort of wireless transmission?)
No, automatic data transfer was not foreseen, just as there was no recorder device that recorded events, unfortunately.
Can you imagine Stockton Rush wasting precious battery power on continuous transmission to help keep the sub safe?
The rapid descent only happened after they lost power, and the nose started plunging downwards. That threw them into the nose area and darkness, hearing increasingly louder and terrifying cracking.
No, they had to ask because there was ONLY text communication between the sub and Polar Prince. I believe they were descending so quickly this time vs. the other times because the sub was taking on water somewhere, unbeknownst to Rush. But you would think that the fact it was descending so quickly would’ve raised a red flag 🚩 with Rush but it apparently did not. Even if it would have, it might’ve already been too late to react successfully.
@@hardcorehousewhy would the orientation be nose first?
The US Navy had undersea sonar recordings of an implosion. Why did they spend days searching for pink mist?
@2:58 it’s stated that Hamish Harding was on his first submersible trip, yet Mr Harding is known for his bold ventures and holds three Guinness World Records. One for travelling to the deepest part of the ocean for the longest time on a single dive - diving for a total of four hours and 15 minutes. Maybe statements should be checked before uploading
Thank you. I made a quick edit to remove that error.
@@fatal_breakdown good work 👍🏻
"Please respond if you're able..."
For what it's worth, the investigation concluded recently and released that this transcript was a complete fabrication. They had not communicated anything out of the ordinary to the surface ship.
If the failure happened aft of the ship the implosion would have hit the front view port. This may explain why is was recovered without the vinyl window, it probably blew out. I saw another thread where they had an animation with a red colour shooting out the front window. It looks like they may have correctly interpreted the failure mode and what happened to the pulverised remains of the "crew".
So the carbon fiber failed at the join to the rear titanium cap then. The carbon fiber can shrink with pressure whereas titanium won't leading to stress.
I don’t know if it’s my ADHD or just the plethora of information and extremely well execution of the detailing with animation, but I absolutely love this channel ❤️
Who's to say it was descending too fast?
The narrator made a simplistic calculation. Which is 2.5hr x 60min is 150 minutes. 3,800m/150 = 25.333 meters per minute AVERAGE dive rate over 2.5 hours.
Initially, its going to dive faster, since as it nears the bottom and the titanic wreckage its going to slow its descent and and stabilize.
The fact it must initially accelerate from a standstill and arrive at a standstill DEMANDS that it dive faster than "average" in order to obtain the "average".
The vessel ruptured because it was repeatedly stressed and eventually fatigued and ruptured on the 22nd or 23rd attempt to the bottom.
The fact is, it worked. It worked almost two dozen times. It was designed to make it there and back. It succeeded. It was designed to repeat the feat, and it successfully completed that several times.
It was NOT designed to make it there and back more than 20 times. But they were ignorant of what they didn't know.
Composites are notoriously different to check for damage or even quality control in manufacturing. To make matters worse, they chose a dissimilar material, titanium, a metal, as the end cap of the pressure vessel. It has a radically different coefficient of thermal expansion, and will itself cause stresses in the composite material as temperature changes. And somehow the epoxy resin must bond to the metal, and maintain that bond thru thermal and pressure cycles for all eternity? No! Not possible.
May they R.I.P
