Hey guys, I have an idea! I'd like to build a more modern version of the bathysphere. You know, round with a viewing window jutting out of it like a nipple. I'd like to call it the Tit! It could take tourists down to the wreck of Titanic. Do you think it's a good idea?
Pride cometh before the fall. In mythology, the Cyclops is a behemoth of a giant with an uncanny flaw in literal and metaphorical perception- it can not see well and it isn't very bright. With Stockton's frustrations growing, the vessel's name is changed in favor of Titan, another figure that is the literal manifestation of a walking, or in this case, diving calamity.
It sucks how often the investment and momentum goes to bad ideas on a good general direction. A new, producable submersible that could be manufactured in groups? Awesome. Ignoring regulation entirely? Not awesome
Historic hubris. I recall the last words of American Civil Ear Major General John Sedgwick: "They couldn't hit an elephant at this distance.". His men had urged him to take cover before uttered his last words. He was killed by a Confederate bullet right after saying that.
Josh duggar was the reason for "19 kids and counting" but I'm pretty sure it had less to do with Ashley Madison and more to do with him molesting and raping his underage sisters.
29:25 This isnt necessarily true. Suleman Dawood (The kid) was a long time user of rubiks cubes and his mother even said he would go nowhere without it. So suleman took advantage of his fathers titanic trip to contact the Guiness foundation and applied to have the world record for deepest depth to complete a rubiks cube. He was not reluctant. He wanted to go. So the kid and his dad brought a camera and his rubiks cube with them.
Mr moocake! Only just discovered your channel. RU-vid thought i could do with a shouty man swearing a lot and boy was it right! Now binging your videos 😊 P.s the 70s called, they'd like their oven back
You rightly called out the Daily Mail as a horrendous tabloid rag, but you didn't comment that Eamonn Holmes was being interviewed by Dan Wooten (i'm guessing on GB News?). Not exactly reputable either. Wooten even worked for the online wing of the Daily Mail for a while.
Didn't know about Wooten working for the DM to be fair, that's news to me. The Eamonn Holmes stuff regrettably hadn't surfaced when I made this video, though
Just a reminder to everyone that did watch the show and enjoyed it: You're not a bad person, this stuff is intentionally meant to entertain at the expense of it's guests, you know better now and hopefully agree on how shitty the show is, you've grown, be proud. I watched the show as a kid, I don't think I was a particularly shitty person back then but I still enjoyed it, I had the excuse of being a kid but plently of adults watched it, and given how many people walked onto that stage, it was pretty clear people thought Jeremy was actually helping others, it was a sort of weird mix of feel good because people (supposedly) got help and being able to feel better about yourself because at least you're not *that* bad. TLDR: You're a good person, even if you liked the show.
This is an example of why we need even more strict regulations lol, the fact he was able to jump through hoops and get around it with literal 4th grade level bullshit is insane. Yeah I'm sure a 19yo is part of the "crew" lol I don't like billionaires, but purely as a consumer-company relationship, it's incredibly sad that because of the lack of regulation to stop this from taking place fully, a dumb egotistical know-it-all libertarian was able to convince people it was safe. And I don't think people realize how trusting we are of companies, because we assume that they're following regulations. It's the exact same thing when you got to an amusement park and think "this must be safe, they must be following regulations and stuff" and I guarantee all those people thought the same thing. Stockton Rush killed those people through his own arrogance and stupidity, and I feel bad for that kid cause I guarantee that Stockton reassured him that it was safe when he had reservations about going
I gotta say, as a media analyst during this entire event, I had to watch the news everyday and summarize news articles about this, and holy shit was this the most sensationalized and tactless fucking news story I've seen in awhile lol. Every news channel would have on multiple "experts" and they would all say the very obvious conclusion that the sub likely imploded, yet the news kept pushing this "omg they're still alive and running out of oxygen they've only got 72 hours 😱😱😱" narrative and it was so annoying. Some channels had countdowns to when their presumed oxygen supply would end, like wtf? Also the "banging noises" was the DUMBEST talking point at the time. Like yeah ok I'm sure a plane is going to catch someone 12 thousand feet under water banging on metal lol. As a news source, show some fucking due diligence and tact in the way you present information, don't give obviously easy-to-manipulate people who are currently going through an insanely difficult time, irrational hope that they're likely to cling to for comfort. These news channels have ZERO EMOTIONAL CONNECTION, so stfu and stop giving desperate people hope and exploiting their fears.
Hey just wanted to encourage you to keep going, obviously lots of other people also telling you this recently but I wanted to add my thoughts to the mix. Love the style, comedy, and overall vibe of the channel. From a fellow sufferer of MPB at a similar age- you owning it has given me some solace in my own difficulties. Also if you ever need any business or finance research help, let me know I'd be happy to help!
1:08 I have no doubt that this Princeton-educated engineer was indeed intelligent but what ultimately💀him & 4 other was his ego & arrogance in thinking that he was somehow exempt from the laws of physics.
As an engineer watching this and all the comments its pretty poor take on what went wrong. CoTs components (Commericail-off-the-shelf) can be amazingly safe - assuming builtto ISO/BS/ASTM..etc spec safety standards. The amount of testing that will be done and the consistency of mass production mena they can be considerably better offering in terms of safety than bespoke one-off solutions. Yet here is derided as a poor low value choice. The push-pull thinking on Carbon fibre is a weak analogous explanation for non-engineers and doesn't work - but in essence the choice of Carbon fibre is the key reason why it was flawed and ultimately doomed. I think Stockton had sunk cost-syndrome (excuse pun) and refused to back out from his Carbon design -- even as it became clearer it was not as viable as when first concepted.
