    Recently a submersible made by Oceangate tragically imploded during an expedition to the Titanic wreck. This tragedy was a result of extreme negligence for any safety measures. Despite these events, Oceangate is still offering to take paying tourists into the ocean. This is why you should not trust them.

    What gets me is the wife of Rush is related to Isidor and Ida Straus, a couple who died as honorably as one could on the Titanic. When Ida and her maid got on a lifeboat, Isidor was also told he could get on, but he knew there were women, children and younger men still on board and said he didn't want special treatment. So Ida took off her expensive fur coat, gave it to her maid and stepped back on Titanic to die with her husband. He tried to get her to leave and she refused, saying the end would be the same as their life, it would happen with them together. They are depicted in the movie Titanic as the elderly couple holding one another on the bed as their room floods.
    In contrast, look how her husband will be remembered. As a selfish, egotistical, greedy man who took 4 people with him to a death near Titanic, in a tragedy that HE could have prevented.

      @OhhCrapGuy Рік тому +50

      When a doctor prescribes a patient antibiotics, they explain VERY CLEARLY that the patient MUST take the entire course of treatment, especially and most vitally if they are feeling completely better. This is because they will still have some remaining bacteria in their system, the ones that already have some minor resistance to the antibiotic, and not taking the rest of the treatment means the infection will return, it will be even worse than before, and it may no longer be treatable. And yet time and time again, people will take their prescription until they feel better, skip the rest, get worse again, and then refuse to go back to the doctor because "the medicine didn't work".
      --------
      Companies are notorious for hiring IT employees who work very hard to keep everything working without issues, then the company will let go half the department because there aren't any problems for IT to fix, completely failing to understand that the reason there aren't any problems is because IT is doing their job well. Then they are shocked that the problems start showing up that need to be fixed.
      --------
      There are so many ridiculously precise regulations, and so many weird and bizarre laws around the world. Did you know there's a regulation that you can't carry hazardous waste in the bedrooms of a ship's crew? Why would anyone actually bother to take the time to write a regulation like that?
      And speaking of ridiculous laws, what about all those laws like "you can't carry around an ice cream cone in your back pocket on Sundays". You hear about that law, and you think "there has to be a story behind that!"
      And the thing is, the same thing is true about regulations. There is a story behind every weird regulation, and a lot of those stories end in death.
      --------
      Many people with mental disorders, such as schizophrenia for example, are known to take medicine to resolve their symptoms, and then later on, perhaps months later, they will notice that they no longer have any symptoms of their disorder. Despite repeated warnings from treatment professionals that if symptoms resolve, it is precisely because they are taking their treatment, it is infuriatingly and dishearteningly common for patients to decide that they no longer need their medicine because they don't have symptoms any longer.
      --------
      In that last example, it is very easy to simply blame the poor decision on the person's mental disorder, as many mental disorders can affect one's ability to make logically sound decisions. However that's not the problem. How could it be? This is a scenario that affects people who are not experiencing any symptoms at the time they are making the decision. The program is so much deeper, and so much simpler.
      We, as humans, only have the most tenuous of relationships with logic, and by extension, cause and effect. We routinely make logically unsound decisions, and construct whatever rationale we need, whatever story or narrative we desire, in order to convince ourselves that it was a reasonable decision reached with pure logic.
      And likewise, we have convinced ourselves into believing that we really understand cause and effect so much better than every other animal on the planet, but while that's technically true, we're still abysmal at it.
      Whether it's patients stopping treatments, companies firing IT departments, or people laughing at absurd regulations, it's all the same fundamental mistake.
      We only really grok the cause and effect relationship when the effect is an event. We completely fail to instinctually understand that the absence of events can have a cause as well.
      Stockton Rush looked at regulations and classifications and saw that they were the cause of people paying for classification and doing work to abide by regulations. What he, and most of us humans, tend to miss is the events that they prevent.
      There's no list of people who were saved by this rule. There's no list of plane crashes that such and such regulation prevented.
      And there's no list of people who didn't die in flawed submersibles 3800m below because of regulations and classification.
      But there is a list of people who did die in flawed submersibles 3800m below because they ignored regulations and classification
      --------
      A final example: Remember the Y2K bug? How it was totally overblown, how it was all fear mongering about bank accounts erasing themselves, planes crashing, dogs and cats living together, total hysteria? It wasn't overblown at all. It was all real, it was a huge problem, we took it seriously, we mostly fixed everything, and instead of total economic collapse or hundreds of thousands of deaths at midnight, instead we got comedians mocking people for taking it seriously. And that's the *"Good"* time line.
      You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, but don't forget that you make 100% of them too.

      There is something about that statement as well as a comment that I read once about this incident that I can't get out of my head - did Rush have a death wish? What I mean is I wonder if this is how he wanted to go. I don't mean whether he was suicidal but rather whether he was aware of the possibility that Titan would implode at some point during one of its expeditions, yet he had nothing against dying like that. From what I've seen, he didn't seem like he wanted to be rich but boy, did he want to be famous and remembered and, well, people are definitely talking about him. Or was he really that arrogant that he believed Titan was without flaw and nothing could ever happen to it just like the engineers of the Titanic thought?

He was tempting fate with that dumb choice, like he wanted the sub to kill him.

    I would like to add that Paul-Henri Nargeolet, one of the passengers, wasn't just your ordinary french explorer. He was a leading researcher and expert of the Titanic, as well as an experienced navy officer who assisted many search operations (including locating missing shipwrecks and an aircraft). He mainly focused on his work on the Titanic itself, from recovering artefacts and mapping out the entire debris field (which was made into a documentary), using ROV equipment.
    It's kinda sad to see people just lumping him together with the "Naive billionaires who didn't know what they were going into". If anything, his mistake was that he trust Oceangate to a blinding fault, perhaps wanting the Titanic tourism to become more mainstream, hence him supporting the entire operation.

It might be fine to supplement the hull as like a brace, but not good to rely on. People have made it to the bottom of Mariana's Trench's Challenger Deep in like the 50's with a solid steel hull, 8 + miles further down and 600+ more atmospheres of pressure.

    The hull monitoring system was "unparalleled" bc it was designed & patented by Stockton Rush himself and was not used, rated or recognized by any other deep sea submersible manufacturers or explorers, most of whom would say that the system would only inform occupants of defects in the hull when it was far too late to reach the surface safely, which is exactly what happened.

They saw significant parts of the sub lighting up red in the system. They had sophisticated hull sensors after all! But to what end? All that those sensors were going to tell you was that you had under a minute to ascend to a safe depth... Of course ascending to 'safe' would take a wee bit longer than a minute.

    This is the first I've heard about Stockton Rush naming OceanGate's 1st gen sub 'Cyclops' (and the 2nd as well, at least originally). For those who are unfamiliar, Cyclops was the name of a ship infamous for suddenly disappearing with all hands in 1918, just 6 years after Titanic sank. Considering his reckless disregard for safety protocols and his choice of the replacement name 'Titan,' which is obviously reminiscent of the Titanic disaster and an eerily coincidental short story written years earlier about a similar scenario involving a fictional ship named 'Titan'...I can't help but wonder whether Stockton Rush had something of a death wish.

    Unfortunately we'll never know the truth because the poor kid is gone now. I can certainly hope that he did indeed want to be there, I hope he was perfectly fine and that when it happened he didn't feel any pain or fear. Which knowing how implosions happen he probably didn't even realize it happened when it did, thank goodness. One moment there, the next gone.
    I can also see both stories being true though. He may have ben excited and wanted to go when his mother gave her spot to him, it falling on Fathers Day and all...and then right before going voiced his concerns to his aunt because he didn't want to say them to his father, just wanted to get it off his chest. Again, we'll never really know what he was thinking or feeling, this is just a thought I had.
    As for his Rubik's cube record his mother claimed he wanted to do, he supposedly applied to do it but it wouldn't really have counted in the Guinness books, since he had no representative from Guinness or qualifying witnesses, from what I understand of the rules. If I'm wrong or misunderstanding that, I apologize! So if he was planning on doing it it was probably just for personal bragging rights.

    I read that Suleman (the 19 year old) brought along a Rubik’s Cube onto the Titan with the hope that he could try to break the world record for the deepest one solved. My heart already broke for him and the life and future he was robbed of, but the Rubik’s Cube thing made me feel even worse for him. I think because it was such a sweet, innocent thing to want to do. We’ll never know but I hope he was able to solve it down there and experience a bit of joy before his life was taken.

"Innovation, innovation, innovation, innovation, innovation, innovation" with everything else being secondary and with no plans for long-term. This is dangerous and could result in further accidents and deaths in the future, but alas a lot of companies and businesses value this abhorrent hustle culture.

    There is nothing in this world that terrifies me quite as much as the deep ocean. To think that there exists a place on this planet where it’s darker than dark, the pressure is so intense it will violently crush anything that goes deep enough, and is home to undiscovered alien-like creatures. And then the fact you have massive objects like the Titanic just lying alone down there. Rooms full of rust and microbes, frozen in time. Gives me shudders even just thinking about it.
    And then there’s this question: if the sub imploded early in it’s descent… what was the banging sound picked up near the Titanic that was heard in half hour intervals 😳

    • @floraflowers
      @floraflowers Рік тому +21

      I recall they said at some point while the rescue operation was still in place that it was likely the banging sounds could be attributed to the rhythmic movement of the ocean. They didn't exactly specify that the banging was heard at 30-minute intervals on the dot, but they did mention the ocean itself and the currents could also make such sounds. But it is indeed fascinating how we know more about outer space and other planets than we know about our own.

    What I don't see many discussing is that even if they were able to return to the surface, while running out of air. The hatch was bolted shut, requiring their surface team to open it from the outside. Unlike other submersibles that have a hatch you can open from inside. They still would have suffocated before anyone found out them. This whole thing smelled bad from day one. For the life of me, I don't understand why anyone would have boarded this thing.

I blame the fact that he didn't make the sub with a hatch that could be opened from the inside, if they made it to the surface... On him as well. Making additional points on the incident is not wishing death on the victims, the passengers. I place the blame on the company and rush... For sure.
