Exactly this was great for going certain depths especially deeper than divers, find marine life ect take scientist and other people would of been great, titanic is way too fast, too many cut corners.
From looking at his patent, it seems like the strain gauges he embedded in the various locations of the hull were meant to give real time warning of any dangerous hull deformation. The engineer he fired felt that the gauges would not give a warning in time to return to the surface. When the evidence is in, it’s likely that was an accurate assessment. Experts in the field felt that carbon fiber was just the wrong material to use for compression resistance. And they didn’t want his failure to destroy the safety record they worked so hard to earn. I think Rush felt his combination of carbon fiber plus strain gauges was an innovation that the existing community wouldn’t accept, so he needed to prove his theory. To keep the business solvent he needed the tourist money. It was a deadly combination. I think the Greek notion of Tragedy includes a hero with a tragic flaw, often hubris, that brings unintentional consequences to an entire community. By that definition, Stockton Rush and his story certainly qualify.

@@MrGunzoller Except in case of a Challenger it was one minor flaw that is easy to overlook, where is with Titan the whole concept was very stupid, and there was a lot of red flags along the way (and a lot of people did say so at the time).

At the very least you should go back to the drawing board and do more test, or abandon the concept entirely.
By all accounts Cyclops 1 has functioned as intended despite stupid design choices like the controller. Seems like if Oceangate stuck to 500m or less (and stayed with the steel hull design) they would've been fine. The Titan had no business diving 4000m. Stockton was a victim of his own ego.

Handing the controls to a guest seems to be a dangerous thing this company does. RIP to the CEO and his passengers. There should be absolutely NO TOURISM at the Titanic gravesite, ever.
Ok "Amy," are you gonna be ok? Glad to know there are still MEN out there with giant balls to risk everything for exploration. But what would you know about that? Keep to your kitchen and let men do the stuff that matters.

This is crazy everything seems so safe here and Stockton looked confident in his creation, they should've continued using the Dualshock 3 Controller and not that cheap Logitech third-party Joypad.
I feel like the problem is not that logitech products are bad and more about the fact that the submarine was crap and wasn't even designed to handle the pressure. I have a logitech G920 wheel for sim racing and it's pretty much the highest rated industry standard for gaming wheels.
Maybe it was safe In 300 feets not 12000 feets. The pressure and weight of water that deep is thousands times more. Maybe touristic trips to some lakes would have been acceptable with this same as cayak material sub.
in ocean and space exploration you can't and you don't do this. nobody asked challenger being tested 1000 times before it blew up, and i bet if you were offred a trip to space for 250K you'd be tempted, even if it's been tested only a dozen of times.

R.I.P OceanGate Titan / Cyclops. Hope they would have got certification for this one of a kind off the shelf assembly if fibreglass submersible that eventually took 5 lives echoing the fate of Titanic. It’s an another milestone for deep ocean exploration.
This is a different sub altogether. As for Titan, He would never be able to get certification for that craft because carbon fiber composite is not acceptable for those depths. Another barrier to certification was the cylindrical pressure chamber.. the industry standard is spherical. Even the large oblong submersible James cameron designed for the Marianna trench only had a small spherical compartment where the human being would be, the rest of the vehicle is not as important as the chamber. We're people would be
The most horrifying part about the sub, is that it’s not rated to withstand the pressure at 3800 meters down, yet they did it anyway… it was literally bound to go wrong.
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush once said the glue holding the ill-fated Titan submersible's carbon-fiber hull together was "like peanut butter," calling it thicker than Elmer's glue and "pretty simple." In a 2018 video on OceanGate's UA-cam channel, Rush oversaw the bonding of the Titanic-bound sub's titanium ring and carbon-fiber hull. He said the glue affixing the titanium ring to the hull was "very thick, so it's not like Elmer's glue." He added: "It's like peanut butter." Earlier in the video, Rush said the design was "pretty simple, but if we mess it up, there's not a lot of room for recovery." - Chris Panella (Insider)

Anybody whining about the gaming controller. That's the one thing that's well tested by millions of people. It has been improved for generations of consoles.
@@agradina At 1000 m seawater you're looking at 100 bar, 100 MPa, 98.7 atm, 1450 psi, or 75006 mmHg. All are relative to the surface, but the submersible probably has >=1 atm on the interior during the dive.
“We’re gonna lower the platform about 20 feet, go do the dive, then in about 3 years we’re gonna go down to the Titanic and crush ourselves in instant death it’ll be a good time”
Yhea it was made for going to places like this! Not going down to the titanic! The fact that carbon fiber was used is why it imploded at the depth it was going. Even with Indy car chassis made out of carbon fiber after so many hours of use it has to be taken out of service and can't be raced anymore.
I think that your right about this. It was sound when new but after 15 dives to the titanic...I figure stress fractures and the tentile strength was weakened.
He towed the Titan on that platform for 400 miles of open ocean and those rich people still got it in. The toupee - all mixed-up with the shredded carbon fibre hull. Maybe it's not lost for ever.
most of the rich already went on the Mir submersibles, or on Limiting Factor or were able to buy their own craft from Triton Submarines. most of the ones who either didn't do their homework or didn't have the 15-30 mill bailed when they saw the Titan
We have stain gauges on aircraft, they still required me to NDI them, but pilots being so so smart alway knew better. Anyone thats inspected carbon fiber could have told him this was going to happen. The kid driving the sub sounds great until something goes wrong
Wow.... not sure how I landed here, but it is really interesting to look back at - especially in light of an interview that I watched yesterday, James Cameron on 60 Minutes Australia. Carbon fiber for airplanes and boats: good. For submersibles: not so much.
Im a cynical old duffer but I can't help thinking something strange is going on here. It wouldn't surprise me if they went down a little bit, disappeared, then returned to the surface rendesvous with a yacht, drop the sub, and are now taking the enormous life insurance plans they all must have had.

A “submarine” without a propeller that operates by a controller from PlayStation- what can possibly go wrong?
not even a good playstation one a cheap wireless F710 logitech not even good to play game
This one was a ps3 or ps2 controller. The titanik was a cheap logitec
The fucking PS 3 controller , this Is maybe yesterday was Lucky and Continue next step but now your playing Is not good so take the GAME OVER for your Playstation Controller
it takes more IQ to realize that mass produced devices are mass tested and in fact more reliable than custom built electronics.
It had 4 thrusters
Oceangate seems too confident in their little pillbox, game controller combination! And the CEO is misleading. This is not a submarine, but a submersible. And it seems difficult to drive. Handing the controls to a guest seems to be a dangerous thing this company does. RIP to the CEO and his passengers. There should be absolutely NO TOURISM at the Titanic gravesite, ever.
He was unable to put his pride aside when many experts in the field were clearly concerned about his simplistic designs.
Bruh shut up. Those bones are long gone.
It's a shit tin death trap.
Ok "Amy," are you gonna be ok? Glad to know there are still MEN out there with giant balls to risk everything for exploration. But what would you know about that? Keep to your kitchen and let men do the stuff that matters.
And those MEN with giant balls are now dead floating somewhere in the ocean while Amy is alive in her kitchen.
Score: Kitchen 1 and dead MEN with giant balls 0
This is crazy everything seems so safe here and Stockton looked confident in his creation, they should've continued using the Dualshock 3 Controller and not that cheap Logitech third-party Joypad.
Lol
I feel like the problem is not that logitech products are bad and more about the fact that the submarine was crap and wasn't even designed to handle the pressure. I have a logitech G920 wheel for sim racing and it's pretty much the highest rated industry standard for gaming wheels.
I see, fellow sim racer.
Maybe it was safe In 300 feets not 12000 feets. The pressure and weight of water that deep is thousands times more. Maybe touristic trips to some lakes would have been acceptable with this same as cayak material sub.
That one here is a a PS controller and after spending thousands of hours playing with my PS4. I can assure is proven technology.
Everybody gangsta until you hear a roaring from the middle of the ocean
They ain’t gangsta no more
Some of the previous comments before this even happened are so eerie . It was in fact a roar in the middle of the ocean ..
Scary that its probably exactly what happened...
From Oceangate to Oceandeath" Stockton not really kidding to provide his passengers with a real Titanic experience. "RIP"
2 years ago comments were like " This looks like fun" and today commenters are critical experts lol.
There's zero footage of the recent 5 getting into the sub not one video which is strange.
Probably because the thing imploded….
they should test this unsafe submersible at least 1000 times, before departure to such extremely deep and massive water in the ocean.
they did it 50 times. it failed at 51...
in ocean and space exploration you can't and you don't do this. nobody asked challenger being tested 1000 times before it blew up, and i bet if you were offred a trip to space for 250K you'd be tempted, even if it's been tested only a dozen of times.
@@kennythemeat they said there were problems with every dive they had ever done
If you consider exhaustion of materials, you don't want the vessel to dive 1000 times, before you board it.
@@kennythemeat the thing literally got lost on the last trip supposedly... now look what happens
Rush seemed more like a bank manager who'd trick you into opening another credit card than a serious engineer and deep diver.

Yeah. He really loved making money.

Don’t be in touch with them please.
The Navy and a whole lot of people in the middle of the ocean are trying to get in touch with him now.
This aged bad
This is a different sub than the one that imploded people! The one that imploded was called Titan, this one is Cyclops 1. They purchased Cyclops 1 from another company.
That’s another one which I forgot the name of. Cyclops 1 was the first submarine built by ocean gate
I read it was the same one - just renamed after bigger problems - that has implode.
That's why it has so much more stuff on the inside of it
Roman...They didn't build it.
@@someguy9778 I don’t know much about these subs
Dude tought he could MacGyver his way into deep ocean and convinced billionaires to go with him.
Now they're crushed into red mist, maybe some bone splinters.
At least it was a quick death.
RIP.
It’s entirely possible to be a genius and an idiot at the same time. Rush was a perfect example.
A genius? I don't think so.
@@Smannellitesthe guy was extremely smart, no doubt about it. But you can’t outsmart your own pride
@@albatrossflyer gluing titanium to carbon fiber then going down 3800 meters is what I would call smart. Using glass that rated for 4000 ft but repeatedly took it to 3 times what it's rated isn't what I call smart. I could go on n on.

6:16 already loud noise at 100meters.
R.I.P OceanGate Titan / Cyclops. Hope they would have got certification for this one of a kind off the shelf assembly if fibreglass submersible that eventually took 5 lives echoing the fate of Titanic. It’s an another milestone for deep ocean exploration.
The journalist Arnie wiessmann exposed the OceanGate
It’s true as per Arnie wiessman
Stockton Rush who perished with 4 other souls bought expired fibreglass grom Boeing to make the gill of the Titan. This is a shocking to know.
This is not the same sub.
This is a different sub altogether. As for Titan, He would never be able to get certification for that craft because carbon fiber composite is not acceptable for those depths. Another barrier to certification was the cylindrical pressure chamber.. the industry standard is spherical. Even the large oblong submersible James cameron designed for the Marianna trench only had a small spherical compartment where the human being would be, the rest of the vehicle is not as important as the chamber. We're people would be
see the other conference with rush, he says at ocean gate we take safety seriously over profit and we don't risk lives if only that was true.
The most horrifying part about the sub, is that it’s not rated to withstand the pressure at 3800 meters down, yet they did it anyway… it was literally bound to go wrong.
This is a different sub model..
@@michaelroberts8397literally doesn’t change what he said
That was not their first time going down there in that sub, I think they got way too confident with their successful expeditions smh
well when u receive 1 million dollar for every submersion from 4 passengers greedy beat ocean laws.
@@aeshaalberts7560they got lucky, it wasn’t safe for the first expedition and every subsequent one tore it up until this happened.
Its a good time to watch again TheAbyss.
Well...he certainly increased awareness
OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush once said the glue holding the ill-fated Titan submersible's carbon-fiber hull together was "like peanut butter," calling it thicker than Elmer's glue and "pretty simple."
In a 2018 video on OceanGate's UA-cam channel, Rush oversaw the bonding of the Titanic-bound sub's titanium ring and carbon-fiber hull.
He said the glue affixing the titanium ring to the hull was "very thick, so it's not like Elmer's glue." He added: "It's like peanut butter."
Earlier in the video, Rush said the design was "pretty simple, but if we mess it up, there's not a lot of room for recovery." - Chris Panella (Insider)
It was great that he had such a vision but man at what cost ? I saw that video of an actual tour to the titanic. The images were so good and clear. Could’ve been a real great thing but ..
I know he did not just say this gives people from all walks of life the opportunity to experience it... At $200,000 a seat? I'm pretty sure most walks aren't going there.😂
this is a different vessel
For submersibles like this, they were planning to do tours (of areas like Puget Sound - NOT the titanic) for $1-2k
@@AndrewMacGillivraythey won’t bring doing anymore tours after they go bankrupt now.
He's no John Hammond.
Aside from the fact that it was a different vessel, he was talking about it from the perspective of a scientist who got to ride for free.
I feel quite sad for everyone, including Rush, I get his idea and energy, but I wish he had some authority to tell him how dangerous his project was.
he did but he ignored all the experts who told him that people would die.
You feel sad for a billionaire who wouldn't give two shits about you lol
He was told. In fact he sacked the guy who told him
No one gives af bout him, I tbh feel bad for those other two passengers who was 19 year old Suleman Dawood and his 48 year old father Shahzada Dawood 🫥💀
Once again, this proves that charisma and hubris is no substitute for competent engineering.
Interestingly, this one looks much more like a real sub from inside. The "other one" was more like a living room with a TV and a PlayStation.
that's how the news works, you see it how they want you to see it.
@@AVERYhornyMrDinosaur no. it's actually a secret sub lobby, determining how subs should look like.
I believe this is the sub (precursor to titan) that they actually got help from UW and NASA on.
@@AVERYhornyMrDinosaurthe news is nothing if not a bunch of lair scum, but at the end of the day the photos of this sub and the titan are not fakable by the media. It is what it is.

This “vessel” is a hyperbaric chamber modified in order to be used as submersible?
Even if this guy gets found alive in the sub his company is finished
Nah he knew the risks, he will probably be like I redeveloped it and I’m going down again to show you it’s safer than the last version

"When I started the business one of the things you'll find is there are other sub operators out there, but they typically have gentlemen who are ex-military submariners and you'll see a whole bunch of 50-year-old white guys. I wanted our team to be younger, to be inspirational, and [an old white guy is] not going to inspire a 16-year-old to go pursue marine technology. We can train someone to pilot the sub. We use a [video-game] controller."
- Stockton Rush
And those are the people they needed desperately before Sunday. Stupid stupid stupid.
Personally, I feel comfortable when I see the pilot of my airplane is an ex military 50 year old white guy. But that's just me.
I'm glad he is dead... now he cannot kill any more people with his ignoring of engineering and safety. 400 feet down in Puget Sound is easy... 14,000 feet is just plain stupid in a contraption made by children. OceanGate is guilty of negligent homicide.
I'm 16 years old and old expert guys inspires me.
Stockton Rush was an over 50 yr old white guy. So he's basically saying he can't do the job either? Huh?!?!?
You can hear the hull banging as they're a sending
Anybody whining about the gaming controller. That's the one thing that's well tested by millions of people. It has been improved for generations of consoles.
The game controller was more emblematic of the general ostentatious shoddiness, than an issue in itself.
2:23 😢 "trying to keep it from crashing"
Great sub to explore the deep end of your home swimming pool.
10000 lbs of pressure on the entire hull at only 80m of depth... oof.
~115 psig at 80 m (varies with things like temperature and salinity)
how much pressure will be at 1000 metres depth?
@@agradina 15 million pounds total on the hull at full titanic depth
@@juggernaut316 imposible too much
@@agradina At 1000 m seawater you're looking at 100 bar, 100 MPa, 98.7 atm, 1450 psi, or 75006 mmHg. All are relative to the surface, but the submersible probably has >=1 atm on the interior during the dive.

Where can we see more footage of the bottom?
you can see more footage of the bottom once photos are released of the debris field created from one of these things imploding
in heaven
This sub 'only' went down 300ft, so think about 3 basketball courts deep. Still way too deep for my taste.
this is basically a scuba sub so it make sense this one held up; the great barrier reef is only about 200 ft deep
the titanic is 12500 ft deep

do i hear creaking maybe thats normal

Looks super safe
“We’re gonna lower the platform about 20 feet, go do the dive, then in about 3 years we’re gonna go down to the Titanic and crush ourselves in instant death it’ll be a good time”
How do they drive this one? DualShock 4?
Edit, I made this before I watched and I was partially right
Yhea it was made for going to places like this! Not going down to the titanic! The fact that carbon fiber was used is why it imploded at the depth it was going. Even with Indy car chassis made out of carbon fiber after so many hours of use it has to be taken out of service and can't be raced anymore.
I think that your right about this. It was sound when new but after 15 dives to the titanic...I figure stress fractures and the tentile strength was weakened.
I'm just finding this now. The algorithm is truly incredible.
All a sudden everyone in the comment is now an expert in titan and implosion lmao
Cuz it’s trendy
This aged well….
Are they sure if that submersible is safe for 80m depth?
105 meters
Stockton Rush bragging about how you don’t have to worry about pressures in his subs and it’s less restrictive than scuba diving. Oof.
That does look incredible.
This company went out with a bang
0:01 look at that smile bro😂😂😂
He towed the Titan on that platform for 400 miles of open ocean and those rich people still got it in.
The toupee - all mixed-up with the shredded carbon fibre hull. Maybe it's not lost for ever.
most of the rich already went on the Mir submersibles, or on Limiting Factor or were able to buy their own craft from Triton Submarines. most of the ones who either didn't do their homework or didn't have the 15-30 mill bailed when they saw the Titan
What an implosive story.
Thats the comment of the day. Well done
Cool! where can I sign up?
This rush guy actually doesn’t seem half bad
Yeah he seems totally sane and not at all a risktaker. I'm sure that he'll be fine.
Yea, hell have a great career !
RIP Stockton
We have stain gauges on aircraft, they still required me to NDI them, but pilots being so so smart alway knew better. Anyone thats inspected carbon fiber could have told him this was going to happen. The kid driving the sub sounds great until something goes wrong
He took the cheaper crappier uncertified submersible to the great depths of the Titanic.
that was built by his own hands rather than Cyclops which the majority came from another craft built by actual submersible builders
Pure guy I like his work and I like to go underwater
This idea had so much potential.
I am very interested in seeing notable shipwrecks. Is OceanGate still accepting applications?
1:09 eerie
How’d that work out for you Stockton Crush
Mr Implosion. 😏
Just ask basic questions how does this thing work ? Oh yeah PS3 stick ah i see goodbye. Turn your back and run from it
Wow.... not sure how I landed here, but it is really interesting to look back at - especially in light of an interview that I watched yesterday, James Cameron on 60 Minutes Australia. Carbon fiber for airplanes and boats: good. For submersibles: not so much.
Im a cynical old duffer but I can't help thinking something strange is going on here. It wouldn't surprise me if they went down a little bit, disappeared, then returned to the surface rendesvous with a yacht, drop the sub, and are now taking the enormous life insurance plans they all must have had. Who would ever know really?
