Wouldn't it be a cooler and safer experience to stay on top of the water in a safe submersible and watch live feed?? I mean seriously it is not as if there was this huge window on the submersible that allowed a good view, especially for 5 people.
@@irene_f.was my first thought as well. Whats the difference in looking at a screen vs a window? You still cant go hands on so whats the real difference here? Ego is the difference
Greed. The one thing this man should be remembered for. The hubris that he wanted to move the industry forward by breaking the rules and how the tragedy he caused has now set back the industry is second only to the fact that this man was killed because he was a greedy person who had no consideration for those around him. He saw himself as so much smarter and more intelligent and creative than everyone else around himself. This should be a lesson to everyone else who is too smart to listen to the world around them.
Both the interviewer and Rush are trying to sound intellectual, but neither of them is saying anything of substance. It's all double talk to build up the illusion that was Oceangate.
He was enthusiastically chasing the dollar at the ridiculous expense of the safety of his clients. He consciously ignored the warnings of dozens of experts and even fired one of his engineers for criticizing his design of Titan as unsafe. I won't miss him at all, he took ridiculous risk and four other people, including a 19 year old boy, died due to his stupidity and hubris.
The cost of storage, staff, construction and the cost of hiring the mother ship, let alone fuel, repairs etc. he wasn't making big money, if any. I think if his idea of commercialised exploration of the deep had become a reality the oceans (already tainted by man) would be seriously compromised. Just look at the Rain Forest and Africa's wild-life destruction. I am so thankful that Nature struck back!
Vijay. He was wealthy prior. His grandfather was VP of standard oil and his other grandfathers family donated the land that became the location we know today as Princeton. He had a lot of wealth back many generations.
I don't see where is the intelligence in this guy! He show us his great idiocy and narcissism and also he is a killer! Intelligent or not, inovator or not, rules breaker or not but a true killer he was (4 people at once is not something common). The road to hell is paved with good intentions!
It sounds to me like he was financially failing. Reported text messages have him offering half price tickets for his first dive of the season. For whatever reason people were not committing. I may be wrong but that was the sense I had.
I mean he really just wanted to make history guys. Which he did, he broke a 35 year accident free streak because of innovation that was from a garage sale. And now we learn from his mistakes.
One sad thing is that if he would have just followed a reasonable safe design - build - test of his ideas without cost cutting and evasion of certification he likely would have succeeded in his dream - really sad
@@RunPJs Yes i slowed it down and saw that he does/did a lot of movements throughout in these bursts of fast facial movements. Dunno what that means - im sure body language experts know something about it all
That sums up his psychology and why he ended up dying and taking 4 other lives with him. He wanted to be a maverick, he wanted to break the rules and be a pioneer, but in reality, he was just a fool.
I feel the only pressure he was under was self-induced. I was waiting for him to get off the science pitch and talk tourism to fund his noble interest in deep sea exploration...and I mean noble in the best way. But when he talks cutting costs it spells it out very clearly. Also, for him to say less was done in 40 years for explainable but illogical reasons I have to wonder if he is referring to the concept of retiring subs after X number of dives. If so, then in hind site his perception of illogical became quite logical very quickly.
I never knew of Stockton before until the accident I look back at his earlier videos (Like this one) He's kind of cool.. Just sorry that it had to happen :(
I actually feel bad for him being so stupid. He talked with diligence and he is one of those guys you want to win. But the desicion he made was just awful. It's like I'm disappointed with this guy. Like just saying you knew better than this to a kid.
Wasn't he formally educated?? How could he not realize? He had a wealth of information at his fingertips and people looking out for him, trying to help him avoid problems and a catastrophic one to boot. Sadly he did what he wanted. Truly makes me wonder is he grew up getting his way with little to no accountability??? Where is the humility??
Well he got all the media attention he was looking for, only for the wrong reasons!! His intent might have been genuine but the means and the processes were not....I feel that Rush rushes himself in this business....
Anybody else get the impression that he speaks like a little kid, tripping over his enthusiasm and only aware of the good shiny stuff and ignorant of realities that he has nothing in common with. He reminds me of lots of people I have met in auto racing: all cowboy and no horse.
Correct me if I'm wrong. As sub's are sealed, I think we can't usually smell ocean. However, crew of Titan might've able to smell ocean for a micro second.
multiple revenue sources. Multiple investors. Oceangate wanted to build a fleet of these carbon plastic submarines, using non-certified components from the local Home Depot.
The obsession with carbon fibre was irrational? Carbon Fibre was used a symbol of progress, for PR not legitimate reasons? "it's like rope... it's strength isn't through compression"
No way. When I think of a genius, I think of a man/woman who is not intimidated by making mistakes or the advice of others and just keeps at it until he succeeds. You can not use paying customers as test subject dummies, (like they use in testing cars /car crashes).
One of the things they were interested in was the rate of decay of the Titanic. They would document it and take pictures each time they went down. I don't get it. They need to leave that site alone and just let things naturally take their course. He also talked about how researching the ocean could help us possibly find out more regarding global warming and ways of stopping it.
@@galaxyglitterlatte4664 we actually don’t know much about the ocean in the big picture. He did say once we should try to live under water rather than go to mars.
Sad that he put his enthusiasm and dreams ahead of safety for himself and passengers... seems that his greed of 250,000 a head might have pushed him harder to deliver the exploration promised. Unfortunate that he and 4 passengers lost their life in the process. Has been said that a person can be brilliant but yet lack common sense and logic. His greed along with not making safety a number 1 priority speaks volumes.
only a matter of time before an AI version of stockton appears telling everyone how he went for a s t on his sub as it was sinking and everyone else was panicking ......i want my s t turn up the music!

Or, he tried to take it backwards.
And now there will be many steps forward in terms of safety and regs....
Depends upon your perspective
@@RunPJs Well in his pea brain he was moving things forward. How can someone so smart be so dumb? He's the living embodiment of an oxyMORON.
I agree 100%
Getting bolted into a vessel with no self rescue capabilities is just one of the bad ideas
Imagine the sound of the sub being bolted and sealed from the inside 😢
I wouldn’t be bolted into a car.
Wait you mean he had other bad ideas before this one???
It had several options to ascent. It lacked much, but it had that.
Not to mention, being locked in an encapsulated tube with non fire rated electrical equipment. A short occurring at 3000m below the surface and the cabin filling up with smoke is just as equally terrifying.

He is trying to merge science with salesmanship and the art of persuasion with an emphasis on commercialization.
Was
Excellent observation
It worked, he murdered 4 people.
More like merging science with stupidity.
Both the interviewer and Rush are trying to sound intellectual, but neither of them is saying anything of substance. It's all double talk to build up the illusion that was Oceangate.
If this had been recorded 9 days earlier it would have been 10 years to the day before the implosion happened
In many industries they teach us safety first!
You can hear his enthusiasm for the project. Safety should never take a backseat though. I'm sure he will be missed by many. RIP

he’s so leng
Carbon is literally like bits of cloth glued together when compressed.
Otherwise under tension you could swing from it!
exactly think of it as a metal chain, when in tension it’s very strong but pushed together it’s literally uselsss
all I heard is "I need money so pay the 250k so I can be rich"
Toilet
He was already rich before the sub business
The cost of storage, staff, construction and the cost of hiring the mother ship, let alone fuel, repairs etc. he wasn't making big money, if any.

@@lesleywild8706 he wanted to get into big oil, he was using the tourist dives to give his sub design cred

Its a wonder his ego could fit in that sub.
Well said !!!
It got squeezed down in the end…
he was a fine man
Dumb man
I miss him he was a very intelligent man. All he wanted was to start a company to take people down to see the Titanic. God rest Stockton.
I don't see where is the intelligence in this guy! He show us his great idiocy and narcissism and also he is a killer! Intelligent or not, inovator or not, rules breaker or not but a true killer he was (4 people at once is not something common).

He got the entire experience of the environment. So sad he took 4 other people with him.
Hell, he's gonna be down there for a while exploring.
A cheaper way says it all.
My God he was wildly cheap😂
He was a travel agent for a unique experience, not an explorer.
Well put.
Stockton Rush was not a bad man; and he was a smart man, as well as a brave man--but in the end, greed and pride were his downfall.
It sounds to me like he was financially failing. Reported text messages have him offering half price tickets for his first dive of the season. For whatever reason people were not committing. I may be wrong but that was the sense I had.
I mean he really just wanted to make history guys. Which he did, he broke a 35 year accident free streak because of innovation that was from a garage sale. And now we learn from his mistakes.
It’s always best to err on the side of safety, and not succumb to the power of the deep. May they R.I.P.
RIP. I admire Rush for his good heart and his genius mind i just feel terrible with what happened though
"Things I do for money, I'll never understand " !
I feel sad about 5 man's death .really heart breaking .
He should’ve went by HIMSELF
No money to be made that way.
