TITAN THE OCEANGATE SUBMERSIBLE DISASTER – Blinded by hubris, arrogance and ego, Oceangate owner Stockton Rush became Oceangate murderer Stockton Rush. Ignoring the sub’s failure of all endurance testing, firing employees who raised safety concerns, overlooking the exit of many others who departed the company due to the same safety concerns, refusing to allow the sub to be inspected and certified for deep sea diving per industry standards, justifying his use of carbon fiber when he was repeatedly warned of its weaknesses. Still he continued to dive even though tragedy was only a matter of time, or as one of his employees stated…”it was a mathematical certainty the sub would fail.” It doesn’t get any plainer than that. Just seeing the graphs and hearing the popping sounds of fibers breaking during this documentary gave me goosebumps. I can’t imagine being locked inside this death capsule. Sadly it ended up being just that when four unsuspecting people, plus Stockton, imploded along with the sub on June 18, 2023, after only ten dives. Mesmerizing documentary. Cheers! Boyfriends/Girlfriends – everyone who spoke up to avoid disaster.
