- Las Vegas billionaire Jay Bloom and his son Sean had planned to go on the doomed Titanic voyage, but pulled out. A friend of Bloom's son researched what could go wrong and it scared Sean. Oceangate CEO Stockton Rush texted the nervous passengers, “It's way safer than flying in a helicopter or even scuba diving." Desperate to fill empty seats, Rush offered Bloom and his son a $200,000 discount.
The son who didn’t go because his friend warned him, keep that friend for life ❤

“Friend” it was his boyfriend

May all of us have such friends!
Yes..he is a hero
Throw the kid a lambo or some other small gift
They all farted at the same time and the hull couldn’t take the pressure.
literally saved their lives
Yes! And actually recognizing good advice when received.
The difference between a man who listened to his son’s feelings and one who didn’t. My god! My heart goes out to the other son 💔.
The kid that died wanted to go on the trip.
@@mangoesfly1594the kid actually didn't want to go but he did because his father was going
@@avengirl6479 His own mother said he was really excited about the trip.
@@Istealcontentforviews It's stupidity at the highest level. Mum says he wanted to go with no emotion and aunt says with emotion that he was terrified. Who do you believe?
@@mangoesfly1594I mean, people with rank/status lie about truths to redirect the people’s judgement. Majority were mad/upset when the son who was scared got dragged into the doom so hate goes to his dad. Of course the guy’s wife would try to say “my son wanted to go too” in the interview automatically
I feel so bad for the son who was terrified to go and was pressured into it. :( All of the other men were there for thrill seeking and wanted to go. He didn't.
"pressured into it" , I see what you did there.
I think they were in a suicide/murder mission
@@dexteretoyglad I'm not the only sick bastard who saw a pun in that lol
@@Mybrowndog2019, I doubt that. All news reports say otherwise. I think she's saying that because wants to escape blame.
@@Mybrowndog2019I guarantee the Dawood family lawyers forced her to say that to save face. They got to the Aunt too.
Imagine paying 250K to ride a sub assuming the price represents the “advanced” technology being used only to be told once you got on “whoopsie! The engine is on backwards!” This whole operation was just one red flag after another. How anyone trusted to get on and go down 13,000 ft in this deathtrap is beyond me.
It's beyond the pale, yes.
Yeah who the hell is paying a quarter of a million dollars after seeing that ghetto submarine.
Because of the hubris of wealthy people. They're surprisingly very cheap and very stupid.
Good and verifiable salesman
Because it’s blatantly fake
The friend of the son that researched saved both of their lives
100%.
...I like the young man who did the research...kudos to him...❤❤😊
they better treat him to nice five star meal or pay him a fat check
@@hugopluto543facts lol , check sounds nice
@@hugopluto543Even better... a job at Dad's company when he graduates...
Being in a submarine is extremely stressful. My uncle was in the military, he hated being deep in water. He spent some time in a military submarine for a few months deep below water and it stressed him out so much. Before he went underneath, he had no single gray hair and when he finally emerged after spending months down below, he came up with 90% of all his hair had become gray and white and it stayed like that the rest of his life
🧢
What did he do in there
It's cramped for sure but ironically in the case of war, one of the safest places you could be on earth. But I've had friends tell me about new recruits they had to peel off the hatch when the sub made its initial dive haha. It's definitely a very special type of person made to be submariners.
I knew a Navy veteran who was a WWII submariner and he said "One of the best things about the Navy is, you come back in 1 piece, or you don't come back at all!"
@@Kinobambino he was in the Navy, retired now
The son didn't want to go parents don't guilt trip your kids to satisfied your needs he didn't want to disappoint is father but still went against his own initiative this is exactly how peer pressure is.
if it was me i wudnt have gone..even my own parent wouldnt do anything like this for 200K especially(In the bible its clearly stated that the sea's and oceans were not created for man nor women)
Please notice. The son did research and told his dad his concerns. The dad listened and didn't go even after the discount.
Good décision 👏👏👏
it was the son's friend who did research not the son
Finally a father that listens to their children
Rush was desperate - swung a $100K discount for this father/son. Duo politely declined.
Greedy Rush- sold next 2 pax
$250K each - all to their demise
Pakistani never pass a good opportunity for a discount 😂😂
A “good man with a good heart “ takes a person’s concerns and fears into consideration.
Amen

He was obviously clinically insane but I don't believe he was a bad person
@@raylopez99 “Of the dead nothing but good is to be said.”
Goddamn right!
"My son's friend researched what could go wrong and put a little scare in him." That's a good friend!!!
When you pay 250k for the Titanic experience, you best believe your getting the FULL Titanic experience.
😂 yoooo
Rest in peace to all on board. The kid’s gut told him not to go but he just wanted to make his father happy. That’s extremely sad! 💔
Peer pressure...had to avoid if it's your own dad.
Well at least he is with his father now
@@oZqdiacYou have obviously never studied the Bible!
@@oZqdiactrue. Very sad but i would’ve rather wanted to die with my dad, than without him.
@@stevenmark8156the Bible was written by man. It’s not real
As a father, I would never put my child’s life at risk. It is my sole duty to have fully researched every single thing about that submarine before my son and I ever set foot in it. It is a tragedy that exposes how greed blinds people.
_Overall_ *OCEAN* -is a very dangerous place-
Indeed. Sometimes money and ignorance create a toxic mix that can kill somebody, or many...
Yes, that CEO acted like he was invincible.
It’s child abuse. He bullied his kid into going!
I've heard it was the Colllasail Squid 🐙 that took them down , no implosion at all , they were eaten alive
“He drank his own kool-aid” couldn’t have said it better myself
Along with half of the Atlantic
Apparently, the Titanic is still taking lives
“The bodies were disintegrated.”
That sent a shiver down my spine. I can’t imagine going out like that extremely quickly when you’re that deep in the ocean. Increased water pressure ain’t nothing to joke around about, man.
its for the better, honestly. I couldn't imagine sitting in the dark knowing that oyxgen would soon run out.
Wouldn’t happen to me I’m built different fr 💯
@@HatredInTheFleshBecause you're poor 💯
@@notamemethememe589 If being rich means dying like a little p*ssy in a tin can underwater then I’m as poor as an African child
@Godofdeath666hailsatan Damn bro I'm just trying to say that you wouldn't get yourself in that situation in the first place cuz you don't have money to throw away like they did
No way on earth was that sub ever safer than scuba diving. How dare he even make such an absurd claim.
A helicopter as well like WHAT??? You have a higher chance getting into a car accident than a helicopter accident
Even a 20 hour flight is safer than going in that submarine.
This was the first incident like this on a submersible since its inception in 1960.
Now. From 60 on tally up those deaths by any other form of transportation.
I mean…. Maybe safer than scuba diving at 13,000 feet :)
@@oldironsides4107it was the first accident in just 12 trips. Because this wasn’t a sub, it was a garage science project. It’s not really accurate to compare it to the whole of submarine operations. Other than the name this thing has as much in common with a real sub as a paper plane does to an f15.
The guy who built and owned the sub knew about all the problems. He knew what he was doing. The man might not have been evil, but he definitely knew what he was doing was wrong
Considering he was also on board, he probably didn't. He was arrogant. It's like the story of the titanic itself, the ship thought to be unsinkable.
Also keep in kind this was done successfully before, If I was the guy I would be just as arrogant. I am not absolving them of fault, but could have been me if I invented that.
@@Wumbology378 he was warned constantly by everyone else involved and was literally ignoring regulations. The vessel wasn't even rated for the depth he went to. and every other craft that ever went that deep was only used once because of how much strain is put on the vessel.
And on top of all this his sub had communication errors (an over hour long break in communication) and he refused to do anything to fix this before going on his 3rd voyage.
And he didn't even do any repairs or replacements to keep it safe for that 3rd voyage.
He was literally just testing his luck on how cheap he could be. He was informed of all of this.
@@Wumbology378 as an example of deep sea exploration with humans in the craft:
James Cameron was the first to go that low and the team of engineers who made the tiny little vessel he used would not let him use it twice even though it was made to be used more than one.
This was because the risk of death was so high. And that was done with material we actually know about which I will go into in my next comment so I can tag the other dude
@@Wumbology378 and to top it off, if you were the guy you would've listened to the experts in the field that you were consulting and hiring and working with to not use the sub more than once and to actually listen to any of the safety advice.
Or at least I hope you would listen the experts who know the risks who were telling you that you're going to die.
Although, I do like how you're trying to see it from his perspective. It would be the smart way to look at it if you actually had all the information.
The way how Stockton Rush speak on those text messages is already a HUGE RED FLAG. I wouldn't entrust my life on a guy that speaks like that.
This is a good lesson to listen to your gut and say no sometimes. Don’t worry about being “cowardly”, actually it’s your internal safety mechanism working. If the 19 year old has stick to his true feeling on boarding the submersible he would still be alive. RIP to all the victims in this tragedy.
I agree. For me, I’m not getting in anything that is controlled by a PlayStation controller. That’s the line lol
In the second Transformers movie Megatron’s henchman, Starscream did say that sometimes “cowards” do survive.
Agreed.
What I don't get is, when they noticed they were in trouble, they didn't open the hatch and swim to the surface.
I'M TRYING TO HIDE MY COMMENT BY BURYING IT DEEP. --------- OK. I HAVE BAD NEWS FOR THE RELATIVES SO I HOPE THEY CANNOT READ THIS. ------ YOUR LOVED ONES DID N O T BLOW UP IN THE IMPLOSION AND DIE THAT WAY.

THEN THE IMPLOSION HAPPENED ....... '''AFTER''' THEY ALL HAD DIED. ------ SO SORRY THIS HAPPENED. R.I.P BEAUTIFUL SOULS..!!!
A Father’s Day gift to me is soup… homemade. Or at a nice restaurant. Going out on an unsafe submersible where you’re required to sign a 7 page waiver and the possibility of dying is brought several times; absolutely not.
That father and son duo who pulled out last minute must now be reevaluating every moment of their lives. That was the biggest bullet they ever dodged.
Yes, but you're not a billionaire. That's your only option.
Well ya you're poor just like a majority of us.
@@NoOneHere2Day nah it’s just the ego that starts to control everythinng
Well they turned into soup
Ya like tomato soup? 🤔🧐
He may have not felt pain but he definitely felt terror because they knew there was an impending catastrophe as it gave warning signs minutes before it imploded. So knowing your going to died in a few minutes/seconds is terrifying. 😢
I believe that kid would have been terrified, on s they got down there and an hour and 40 minutes in or whatever and complete darkness, I reckon they would have felt the pressure and on them both figuratively and literally!! He would have been beside himself being in that rickety homemade bathytub
@@VICTORIAPAVLOVA77would have been an interesting chat with rush.
I feel like Stockton Rush wanted to believe so badly that his design for Titan would work that he was completely unwilling to even hear others safety concerns, and seemingly ignored and dismissed every single problem with Titan and every warning & red flag and it appears like there were plenty. Stockton seems to have had almost like an “Arrogance” about it and that is what ultimately led him and the others on board to their deaths. Really sad.
That's hubris
This story just keeps getting more and more depressing. That poor kid was terrified but he wanted to go with his dad as a father's day gift. 😢
It makes me physically sick thinking about it. Poor kid. I wish he had listened to his instinct.
This is why you need to have your own opinions. RIP
That's really bad when you turn yourself into a jelly sandwich for your Dad.
@@midloran I feel like though, if he hadn't gone and had stayed, he probably would have had serious survivor guilt that morphed into suicide ideation.
@@joanna7350 What! No way, why?
Ladies and gentleman, here we have a man who actually has common sense. Good for him.
Common sense is quite uncommon...
It was his son's friend who alerted them.
Most millionaires have millions of dollars and no sense.
@@teresamexico309 yeah, but from the sounds of it, they were already skeptical to begin with. Glad they decided not to go on that death trap
he has carbon fiber brains!
My heart breaks for the families left behind to mourn the lives of those lost. What a tragedy.
The son was not terrified to go, he was super excited. His own mother just made that statement. She was the one who was supposed to go and gave the spot to her son bc of his excitement
If you don't mind me asking, how do you know this? Or could you lend a source?
@@gink_ieright because I saw the aunt speaking and she stated the son was scared to go but wanted to please his father. I haven’t heard or seen the mother speak .
@@justtara8696Maybe the aunt said that to get media attention and/or to clear the sons name
I saw the interview yet somehow something tells me the mother might be lying a bit there.
I saw the same interview…mom was supposed to go, not son.
"As a father's day gift" that's just... really sad.
@CrazyCrewM8💀
half a mil, I could have thought of 1000's of different ways to spend that, that would not involve suicide by arrogance
@CrazyCrewM8Bros looking for rage bait💀
Happy father's Day to his wife!
@CrazyCrewM8True it is indeed.
Engine put on backwards, used the wrong materials for the structure, wasn’t certified. All these red flags. Forget the discount they couldn’t pay me any amount to take that trip!
Gee whiz WTF 🤦 this man was insane.
Correct me if I'm wrong comment but I think the Titan subby by Ocean Gate had visited the Titanic wreck several times before, maybe more than 10 times over the years. I think the Mini sub was lightly damaged each time it went down, and should have been retired long ago. They should have just built a new subbie in its place, so it would be kind of like disposable after several uses. But I think it was one too many dives down to that pressure that wore out the vehicle but maybe the owner Mr. Rush, might have thought it was nothing to worry about.
@@Defender78 You’re correct but as I mentioned it still wasn’t certified and wasn’t made to go down that far safely. They were pretty much playing Russian roulette.
Yes, what price could a person place on their LIFE?!
@@Defender78 They shouldve used more durable materials
Those poor men. One of the scariest things I could think of is being trapped down deep at the bottom of the ocean in a submarine without power and now my fear tragically came true and no one made it back alive. I mentioned a year ago that James Cameron's Titanic made us feel the pain that the survivors of the disaster went through that night in 1912 and now it's happened all over again may those people rest in peace.💔😞😔
They weren’t trapped at the bottom. The sun imploded at depth before it made it to the bottom.
Do you know what implosion means?
@@E52O4sub* not sun
Don't worry. If a sub is certified you're good to go, you're not gonna get trapped.
Your fear did not come true that is not what happened they died instantly..
Father and son clearly didn’t have a great relationship if Dad wasn’t willing to pass on this very unsafe vessel cause he son was terrified
Good on this father for listening to his son. I just wished the other father had listened to his son. So scary what the ocean depths can do to a body. other than for science and research there is absolutely no reason for regular civilians to go down there.
*OMG THEY SO LUCKY!)*

It’s like the Titanic itself all over again. Someone backed out on the voyage, only to have someone else die in their place. It’s… really sad and unsettling to think about. 😢😢😢
Omg what a Drama queen
On the Titanic, the stokers and most of the third-class passengers were left for dead because the crew exalted the wealthy dignitaries aboard at the expense of the "base commoners".
And insult to injury. The DAWOOD family paid full price and 500,000 dollars total with no discount!! Only to die.
@@CrazyCrewM8seek help
@@CrazyCrewM8come out the closet already man :/
The fact that they acted like things were being put on backward. And other safety issues were no big deal just shows how much they just cared about money.
It breaks my heart that all of those people died. The CEO of the submarine company also went, it was only controlled with a video game controller how stupid that is. There were so many risks of this. This is just horrific, instead of trying to see the Titanic with your own eyes and paying such a huge amount of money, maybe donate to charity or something else?
There’s nothing wrong with it being controlled with a video game controller. They’re effective and used by the military because they’re comfortable, accurate, and cheaper than paying thousands for something that doesn’t work. If anything, the materials for the submersible and the previous missions having their own issues would be a bigger cause for concern
Especially as you can see the titanic with your own eyes for free
@@Cometstarlight ok another scenarios what if the the ps3 controller stick became stuck or it malfunctioned then what? or wht if batteries failed what if the system failed

Stockton Rush might had sincerely believed what he was saying about his “vessel” being safe, but his intentions were *NOT* good. His vision was fueled by his own ego and not by the concerns of the outside world. His egocentrism lead to the deaths of 4 others. I feel so bad for that 19 year old boy who was reluctant to ride on the Titan.
he was stupid he got what was coming to him

That's stupid. His intentions were obviously good unless you think he wanted to die with 5 passengers.

Egocentrism nice word
I cannot imagine how relieved this guy must be that he didn't get tangled up in the ill-fated Titanic expedition. How joyous past people who survived the Oceangate trip must be.
He should buy a few lottery tickets now.
@@MrTommy001more like a few thousand if any.. he's a billionaire.
There's a youtuber that was invited on for free to make a video about it, that was the previous mission that got canceled due to weather.
He published the video of his trip after the incident, probably the most recent footage of rush and that french explorer prior to death.
“He was a good man”…..sure, I guess. He was the type of person to be careless and reckless and was willing to put other’s lives at risk to make money. We don’t have to pretend someone was a good person just because they’ve passed.
I don't get why people don't that - exalt people 'cos they're dead when in life they were far from decent or anything close.
His son friend is a true blessing 🙏❤
I don’t care what everyone else is saying, how “they got what they deserved”, I feel horrible for every person who endured that fate on the sub. RIP to all those who lost their lives on that sub and prayers going out to all those families. 🙏🏼

As a father of 2 sons and 2 daughters I would never have them do something like this if they voiced their fear or apprehension. That young man would still be alive today if his father had listened to and respected his concerns. So sad, so very sad.

@@SpoonAtNoon I feel a lot sadness for the four passenger but will not shed a tear for captain Rush...
I can't imagine ever paying that much to go down there I would have a panic attack and fight my way to go back to land before that thing submerges in water. That thing looks beyond scary and dangerous . My heart goes out to those who lost their lives especially that young man who had a bad feeling about and was pressured to go down.🥺 Please always trust your gutt instinct it will save you. 🙏
Some people just love the thrill of it, the same way i will never understand people who go in caves but they do it anyway
When I heard about the implosion, for some reason I kept thinking about that kid who made it from Cuba to Florida on an inner tube in the 80’s.
It’s amazing that a cheap, inflatable doughnut proved to be a safer mode of transportation than a multimillion dollar submersible.
I'm 29, and it breaks my heart this 19 year old kid, he probably looked up to his dad so much, he was terrified! If my son is terrified I don't force him to do things

like james cameron said, in this case what seemed reassuring was the fact they had 3 years of successful trips on titan, and this was actually not an indicator of safety at all due to the carbon hull being totally vulnerable to changes from environment of exterior pressure. the subs made of iron and other solid metals can be considered safe based on how many successful trips bc the materials won't budge

Stockton was such a sweet talker his presentations would have convinced them like a professional motivational speaker would such as Antony Robbins
0:18 wow they better reward the son’s friend for that! he saved their lives
250k sounds fair here
The CEO Stockton Rush got 2 complacent or lazy and ignored safety concerns, even firing an employee who tried 2 prevent this from happening. The arrogance was the negligence 💥
Rush seemed to have a twisted wanderlust to see this Titanic wreckage no matter what the risks were. However, getting all these people to go down with him, putting them at risk, and to get them to pay for it is even more bizarre.
Is anybody else also simply mind blown by all this? I just can't get my head around how such smart and capable people made such dumb mistakes.
This is exactly how I feel about all of this lol
Yep I’m confused as how this was allowed to happen.
Maybe they weren’t “smart” in a general sense or even smart at all. I’m not someone who believes you have to have a high intelligence to be rich. You just need to understand your mark or have gotten the rights to valuable resource. But even if they were smart, no one’s intelligence prevents them from being a victim of their biases. Reason is a slave of the passions, as David Hume would say.
Smart people make bad decisions all the time. Sometimes people go against their better judgement.
It’s called group think. They ignored logic and made irrational decisions!!!!
Creepy how he was hitting up people to be test subjects on an unclassified vessel he knew to be unsafe. He had been hit with law suits and letters and advisory bodies and people telling him his vessel was unsafe. He had major issues
His issue was arrogance.
To be fair, he used himself as a test subject too. Wish safety had been a higher priority.
Narcissism
He unexpectedly died as a arrest warrant.
bro said that and now look, " UNDER THE SEAAA, UNDER THE SEEEAA , BILLIONARES BECAME FISH FOOD UNDER THE SEEEAAA"
Great decision by those father and son choosing not to go in that submarine. They may have been pressured to but didn't have to experience the literal pressure that took away the lives of the captain and the other wealthy passengers. I wouldn't have gone either if I had the opportunity and the money. I've been in a submarine before (not on my own, cause I was only 12 back then) but we never went in the deep, dark parts of the ocean.
I am so glad you and your son came to your senses and didn't go. It breaks my heart to know that the father and son team from India went in your places. This should never have happened. Stockton Rush was irresponsible and took four innocent lives with him. He was negligent in the care and maintenance of that submersible. He out and out lied is my take on what happened. Titanic is not a tourist destination. People died there. They died an horrific ice cold drowning death. Now because of an arrogant know-it-all, Titanic has taken 5 more lives. So tragic.
But poetic justice? I mean the reckless one visiting a wreck and ...oh forget it. RIP/DEP.

Carbon fibre is a great material - for its tensile strength. It's used in lightweight high-pressure tanks, such as for scuba. Scuba divers don't go that deep, though, and there's probably warnings about taking the tanks too deep with too little pressure in them. They're great at keeping pressure in, but not out.

@@taurus_7 yes and especially that this was completely preventable if this man’s ego didn’t get in the way makes it 10x worse
5 white billionaires die in a sub and the media can't stop showing it, 300 poor people die in a ferry off of Greece and the media is silent on it.
@@hawaiianwater1913 exactly
The deceased father and son were what Rush looked for, just believed everything was OK.
That’s right, in his interview he kept saying he wanted people who were “normal” so that they could be inspiring to others. So he needed a father and a son on the voyage.
What's with the father-son duo, looks like they couldn't find enough customers so they went after the father-son strategy, so shady
@@ll2323 Yeah Rush said he didn't want "old 55 year old white guys with submarine experience' being on his payroll and he paid the price...with his life. Too bad he tricked ignorant others into joining him.
@@ll2323 So they wont question.
Typical Asians who think everything white people do is pure GOLD!
The safety standards of my job is to trust your gut if a situation doesn’t feel right. The good Lord put our “gut feeling” for a reason
Hell of a lot better than slowly suffocating to death, in the dark, in a small sub, at the bottom of the ocean.
That woman's grieving for her 19 year old lost loved one, and the world makes memes about what killed him. Hell of a time we live in.
I know right
Their sick. Wouldn’t be funny if it was their loved one.
@@LetGo0007I doubt they love anyone and that’s why they make these jokes
I think it’s because they were billionaires. People generally don’t feel sorry for billionaires
Or because they chose to go into the submarine in the first place
What's concerning about this is that we have no idea if the sub was serviced after each trip. I'm grateful that no one on board felt any pain, especially the 19-year-old who went on for his father even though he was scared. Rip
Nope it wasnt and the weakest part of the sub was only capable of going to around 10% of what they aimed at and an engineer got fired after he outed his comcerns about this specific part.
How do we even know they FELT NO PAIN ?
EXPLAIN PLEASE??
@@estelleschneider903330,000th of a second even if they did their brain wouldn’t be able to register pain quick enough
@@estelleschneider9033 If someone (or something in this case) instantly destroys your body (INCLUDING your brain), you don't feel anything really. It's that simple.
Also, the bottom of the ocean where the Titanic rests is over 2 miles deep. That's a lot of pressure, enough to make the rushing water feel like hundreds of buildings collapsing onto you in less than a second. This is exactly why their bodies disintegrated the moment the submarine imploded. The water is a thousand hands, and they're the mosquitos. You get it now?
@@NoisRahhhh capitalism
This is so sad 😞
Prayers to the family members 😢
how sad that a father-son duo got replaced with another father-son duo
"He drank his own Kool-Aid." DAMN!!!
That summarizes this whole ordeal
Yup
Reverend Jim Jones 😊
Taking four of them to a 🌊 🪦...
The fact the debris field landed basically at the bow of the Titanic is chilling.
Why?
I got a call from people in that submarine and was told that a self detenation was gonna occur if the sub was not returned...
The problem occurs when you have too much money and do not know what to do with it
That man had the wisdom not
to go saving himself and his son.
I feel so bad for the victims and their families 😢
Of course he has wisdom they follow Hashim.
@@corneliuscornia3189 who is hashim
Hes not got the wisdom to put his son on a diet.
@@funkoxen Exactly. He may explode due to all that fat.
Not a good man if he was convincing them to join him and calling the research "stupid stuff".
Glad that friend convinced them not to go.
$250,000, $100,000 discount... These people really do live in another world. Me, even with just $100,000, I no longer worry about my future...
The fact the they knew it imploded from the very beginning and then proceeded to take us on a scripted day by day, play by play media roller coaster is beyond infuriating. Was the profit margin that high that this tragedy was too good to pass up? Crazy if you ask me.
The fact that the Titan dropped its weights BEFORE it imploded is a clear indication that those aboard KNEW something was going wrong. Now, perhaps that moment of fear lasted only a second of two. But there's also a chance that it lasted a bit longer than that. The simple fact is that these passengers may have suffered a great deal before death finally knocked on the hull. We may never find out how long that moment lasted. But, I will be dollars to doughnuts that the U.S. Navy knows. The Navy knows the exact moment when those weights were dropped off the sub, and they have also recorded the exact time when the sound of the implosion was heard.
Yes, it for sure shows they were trying to come up again before having reached Titanic. They had some indication that the vessel's integrity was compromised.
They must have felt the pressure building up that led to the implosion too.
Exactly maybe they heard a cracking noise and drop the weights 😢
How does the Navy know they dropped weights?
I think they did realise something was wrong but they probably thought they’d make it back up ok…
I'm convinced Rush did this cause his credibility was on the line. He literally rushed the progress and tried to fill in spaces that were turned down. Feels like when game developers rush a game out for holiday season, nothing but disappointment.
Well, Rush is his last name after all 🤷🏻♂️
FYI this vessel has been doing trips for years. He just ignored everyone when experts said it wasn’t safe.
He definitely lived up to his name
Obviously they knew something was wrong because they released and dropped the bottom section of the sub in case of emergency to deploy to the top. So yes they did know they were in trouble and I'm sure they were terrified. This was definitely a tragedy that didn't need to happen and Ocean Gate should be responsible and at least reimburse all the money spent on the 4-day rescue mission looking for a submersible they already knew was gone.
Two fathers; one listened to his son's friend and live, the other did not listened to his son's gut feelings and died
the fact that their body disintegrated is so scary, may they rest in peace
Oh, my, goodness! How wise this father and son were ! Good for them. Better to be safe than sorry. Respect for life is the wisdom here!!!Karen from Canada
They were from Las Vegas too? Luck of the draw...
Respect to the father for listening to his son's advice..it's the other around for the Pakistani victims..
What a Father’s Day gift 😢
“He drank his own Kool-Aid” damn…
Sounds like his son saved his life. Good thing someone in the family had some common sense. He better give him a HUGE reward as thanks.
Darn it. Beat me to my similar comment. I don't see many smart, rich people, so when I do I point out the hen's teeth, it's special.
Sons friend
I just hate how people on social media showed no compassion and joked about this tragedy. Just because this isn’t something you would do or spend your money on doesn’t make it right to joke about. May they Rest in peace.
Let me guess, I take it that people from Twitter joked about their deaths?
@@frostheart88and tik tok. But most people joked about the stupidity of it all, not necessarily the deaths. Because it was stupid from beginning to end and top to bottom
@@RoseCurry5 Ah, that makes sense
The jokes mainly poke at the fact that it was a terribly, poorly, stupidly made submarine. There WERE some that joked about the passengers, but it isn't as many as you'd think :>
Comedy is based in Tragedy. 🎭
They've kinda romanticized the son as going despite being scared because it meant so much to his father, but I bet in reality it was "I paid $250k for your seat, get your bags packed because you're going"
The sub was filled with people who wouldnt take no for a answer except the 19 year old son who died for his dad.
Sir, your son’s research and sanity saved your lives
