Fatal Flaws: The OceanGate Story | Full Documentary (2024) 

Because its something rich people want to do but these rich people are not as smart as they think they are. And they fail...

My hyperfixation atm

Same. It’s still gripping.

t​o much J cole @@HalehJune

Because it imploded. That's really the only reason

It makes me proud to be a human but at the same time... ashamed. The amount of money spent on the search could have improved or saved many other lives (like children education, helping the suicidal, social housing etc.)

​@@retsaMinnavoiGYes, during the exact time of the search and rescue mission for the Titan, hundreds of Refugees (including many children) downed in the Mediterranen Sea, because their boat was in distress.

The US military knew about it when it happened. They knew from the start they imploded and instigated a massive search for no reason. The military knew the pings they were hearing wasn’t them knocking.

The amount of money wasted on the search and rescue could have saved hundreds of lives.

Sad indeed however there's also another matter here to consider. The son doesn't go then lives the rest of his life regretting he was not with his father hence survivors guilt. It's very likely the young man considered these things and so chose to be with his father to the end if it happened.

​@@warrenchambers4819exactly

@@warrenchambers4819 "The son doesn't go then lives the rest of his life regretting he was not with his father hence survivors guilt." Not really, you wouldn't have blamed the kid if he refused to jump off the cliffs of Yosemite with his father, would you? "Bye dad, see you down there..."

@@newhorizon4066 Yeah I agree, I don't think the son was thinking he and the other 4 could have been crushed. From the interview his mother gave, he came with his dad since it was Father's day and wanted to do some fun rubics cube challenge. This was not jumping off cliff knowing they would die, this was him entering a submarine that was sold as "being most safe and once in a lifetime experience.

@@RoyJNg "I don't think the son was thinking he and the other 4 could have been crushed." Wrong assumption, you can't think what "the son was thinking." You only fool yourself.

😂😂😅

Annd Boeing sent something into space...i found that very unsettling!

' Ya but that's been proven a lie .

Don't buy expired fish... or CF.

Yep.

Exactly

Don't forget reckless.

@@TheBandit7613 beyond reckless. Just callous

He also needs to be remembered as a murderer. His callous & selfishness led to the death of 4 innocent people. And he was warned by several experts that his approach was dangerous & could only have disastrous outcomes, and he ignored all of them. His own engineer told him that his sub wasn't safe and he was promptly fired.

You know who is a much bigger callous, apathetic, greedy and arrogant narcissist in tech? Elon Musk. Judging by his still massive following of unquestioning tech-illiterate fans and investors, as yet, current generations still haven't learnt the lesson.

Good documentary 💯

In the ABC 2 hour documentary, there was a clip where Stockton was saying "Great CEO, or greatest CEO" when he was posing for pictures.

@@RoyJNg do you have a link/name to that doc please

@@VSR7684 RU-vid isn't letting me post the link. 1. Go to google 2. Type in ABC Fatal Dive to the Titanic 3. First link

And the public is made to pick up the pieces.

Short, sweet, concise and accurate. Nice comment.

Yeah I don't want anything to actually "go" when I'm 3.7 km under the ocean. His logic was insane. He should be thinking that everything should work 100% and have at least two backups of everything. Especially because he was treating this as a tourist thing.

@@skoumastv The tube design was the #1 flaw and the carbon fiber was the 2nd fatal flaw. Carbon fiber works great as a tank (Air tanks, oxygen tanks, scuba tank and such) you know, with pressure pushing “out”, but with pressure pushing in, its not a matter of if, but when it fails. You’re 100% correct, I wouldn’t want anything to fail at that depth.

Nobody will ultimately be held responsible and the taxpayers will foot the bill for the search. Disgusting.

Who would you recommend they hold accountable? The guy responsible is fish food.

@@Rob-157 Theres others that ran that business, plus they can sue the company itself. The dudes estate can get sued, theres plenty of ways.

That's the most fked up part. If he gave a damn he would have went by himself & not knowingly endangered anyone else. But using a submersible that already went down under so much pressure should not have been taken down again. He knew exactly what could happen. I also think he went because he knew the risk & he knew if he didn't go & this happened, he'd be ruined, destroyed & he wouldn't be able to handle that.

Stockton Rush’s wife was apparently the driving force behind the dive

Exactly! And MacGyver's stuff actually worked!

@@oragamiowl5031 It WOULD have work except for the hull going beyond the rated depth. For all we know the depth limit for that garage build submarine might have been like 50 feet or something before stress comes in, but who knows....

He could’ve got a high-end joy controller, but he deliberately went to the cheap knock off Logitech controller, just to brag that it was riskier.

Yea MacGyver never failed

MacGyver was an idiot. He step over a functioning fully loaded firearm to make a device out of a ballpoint pen and a hair scrunchie when multiple lives were on the line.

The media suppressed it so they could have their gripping storylines for the next few days. They had millions of people obsessively watching their oxygen countdown like it was some sick game. Imagine how much money they made from the views.

Ya. They withheld info to confirm it was indeed ocean gate. Nothing to do with media. You don’t see/hear a plane crash and immediately make assumptions. Even when it is obvious, you need to be 100 percent certain before telling families.

I had no idea this was heard but I guess common sense says obviously they heard something then lost contact. Of course they heard something. It's so sad because it didn't have to go down like this.

Yeah, the Navy heard it implode but was using Top Secret technology to hear it and they weren't about to disclose any of that.

IF THEY DONT HAVE CONFIRMATION THEN YOU CANT ASSERT ANYTHING. nothing was withheld. hush child. no more talking for you

Pretty much everyone did

i knew it was a submarine as soon as they said submarie

If anyone had inside info he did. He let some things slip in his first couple of interviews that made it clear they were gone. Clearly he tried to protect his sources, but the anger and contempt he felt for Rush and his murderous actions came through. I can’t fault the Navy or Coastguard. The Navy had secrets to protect and the Coastguard had a job to do. The share no blame.

@@stellarwind1946 Everyone, including media which were saying there is still hope, but in fact they were just milking money from wievs.

Everyone who knew about the audio the navy picked up knew that.

Wanna fly in my airplane? It is made of hemp and is controlled with an iPhone app.

Carbonara fibre?

Then you got the idea to penne comment about your experience.

If only you used a 20 year old Logitech pc controller you can find in a good will bin. Maybe you would be alive today.

Is there anything new in this? I feel like it’s been covered to death.

steel cracks when it fails. The breaking point isn't the problem, the shattering isn't either. It's how it is built and about how you can check whether it is built correct. The carbon fibre is hundreds of layers which can all delaminate and there's no solid way to test that. It's a given it will happen - stockton just figured you could hear it coming - which was based on nothing. Otherwise steel is easy to weld, but it corrodes, deteriorates. Titanium is best there, lighter too, but way more expensive, also because it needs to be the one solid piece (why most are spherical, while subs are often not). Welding isn't really an option. Having said all that, the billion dollar subs still also sink at times... space craft explode. But they do tend to calculate risks... Stockton just ignored that while using a flawed process. Carbon is used in space just fine. But due to the way fibre layers are made, pressure isn't that suitable for it. But the glass they use shatters too - they just make it thick enough. Again, very expensive.

Tragic because they went looking for a sub they would never find whole or with anyone inside.

On top of that they named it Titan. 😬

Also when the CEO has the ego the size of the Titanic, then we know it's going to be bad.

Excellent point about the name; it’s all too true. Wonder if there was unconscious defiance in the name.

Reminds me of Heaven's Gate.

Haha. Maybe he thought his target audience was too young to catch the irony.

Thank you! Plenty more in our 7NEWS Digital Originals playlist, and plenty more coming.

Nice that they don’t block comments on RU-vid too like some other Australian media companies

@Peter-wd2ho I’ve never understood why Australia 60 Minutes doesn’t allow comments!

@@Catmom-gl5ntbecause they push an agenda that they don’t want obviously stated in the comments! Weak

​@@Catmom-gl5nt because they are worried that people will bring up the shadiness of kerry packer, their founder

Yeah That's just not the reality of the story. If that were true, people would be selling tickets into cemetarys.

​@@Dougie1969Some people do consider the Titanic to be a mass grave because over 1000 of the 1500 who died were never found. There is evidence that at least some were on the sea floor (there are photos of a pair of shoes and a jacket on the sea floor that were likely on a body but the actual corpse was eaten by marine microbes). There is a theory that if the engine room or any other areas created a hermetic environment there could even be intact corpses down there.

@Dougie1969 exactly what their intent was here, sell tickets for the site! Normal cemeteries don't have the history the Titanic does

@@ImGinaMarie That was my point. Visiting the titanic wreck isn't like visiting a cemetery, and it's not "sad for humanity". People are enamored with the entire story of the Titanic. I don't think there's a thing wrong with wanting to see it in person. Just like people visiting civil war battle sites, or Auschwitz or Hiroshima etc. Most normal people are going because it's part of history. People dying is part of it my friend. Have a good night.

@Dougie1969 I should have elaborated more on my original statement, it's a sad day when someone can become rich at the expense of innocent people who trust in them. Selling tickets to hallowed ground for profit is disgusting. If you want to be enamored with the story and visit, do it at your risk in a sailboat, don't sell tickets!! My friend..

It looks like a big propane tank that people have in their backyard

what's over speeding?

Like the old lady said: leave that boat alone. Its a seaman's grave and should not be disturbed. Which in certain ways is curious because I seem to remember there IS such rule (or something like it) that prohibits people from doing similar thing to old 16th/17th century vessels.

It didn't rid the world of billionaires. You think their money just disappeared?? LOL. It just got passed to others in their family and called an inheritance. As much as you'd like your communist ideals to flourish, their money stayed exactly where it is,

The story of the Titanic has fascinated so many people through the years; myself included; however, I would have no interest in seeing the wreck of the ship up close, especially crammed into a submersible. The photos taken so far are enough for me.

Most of the victims of the Titanic were not Billionaires (Even when adjusting for inflation). Most of them were lower-middle class, emigrating from the UK to the US in search of a better life.

Implosion- explosion then implosion

Even the microscopical pieces of body would have been consumed by deep sea creatures I am afraid. Nothing goes to waste

I think it's possible slivers of bone or smears of blood could have survived (not to put a macabre spin in things). Beyond that, I agree nothing really survived.

I immediately thought of kindergarten when we wrapped a balloon with glue and string. The string held the balloon fine, but it squashed when we popped the ballon. I cried.

@@Frankthetank-zr5mc They show it in the video later. It's like rope, if your stretch it and pull something it is strong, but if you put a piece of rope between something and try and push with the rope the rope just buckles up. For aircraft and space craft that are pressured from the inside the carbon fibers stretch and work with exceptional strength but not for containers with the pressure outside :( > But yeah, the string on the balloon analogy is spot on. It's sad that this ocean balloon cost 6 lives over something so simple :(

Thank you so much, Kevin.

Agree...Biased Broadcasting Corporation is nothing but woke DEI propaganda.

They did not have any of the tools to even go down there and check it out. They had no other choice.

Spoken like a true Monday morning quarterback. Until fatality was confirmed there had to be an attempt at rescue.

@@SemiDaddefinitely otherwise the families are left with what ifs as to what happened like with the Malaysian airline that disappeared. You have to look until it’s proven beyond doubt there is nothing else you can do .

100% incorrect

They lost tracking and comms at the same time anyone with basic maritime exploration knowledge knew that meant implosion

True

Last time i checked. Titanic wasn't made out of greed, arrogance or hubris. It was made to compete with lusitania and Mauritania. The steel was well made. The crew knew what to do in emergencies. And the reason for so few life boats. Was due to outdated regulations.

The bulkheads were originally designed to go higher and would have stopped it going down so fast, giving help enough time to get there. The owners ordered the bulkheads to be shorter so they could have more big open spaces. As for the lifeboats, the regulations did not account for a ship of that size but there was nothing stopping them putting on enough lifeboats for everyone on board, they chose not to.

@@2009SONICFAN In terms of Titanic I was moreso talking about the captain and crew- ignoring ice warnings because Smith thought he knew better, speeding up despite the warnings because he (and probably Ismay) wanted to get into New York a day early, and the officers launching lifeboats half full or less, costing lives that could have been saved. Having more lifeboats wouldnt have made a difference in the end, because they barely had enough time to launch the ones they DID have.

Exactly - this was the failure point IMHO. That pressure penetrated the glue and pried off those end caps.

@@awgilliamGuess the occupants could then actually reach out and TOUCH the Titanic… that’d be a ‘world first’.

He had titanium end bells, why not the main cylinder, also? A lot better than the carbon fiber.

​@awgilliam I disagree, from what I've heard the carbonfiber failed. Basically had a small crack that expanded and boom.

​@@captjim11 yeh it could have been a fault anywhere in the fiber tho they had cable penetrations coming thru the fiber into the cabin also a hairline crack anywhere especially where the steel rings would expand at different rates to carbon and epoxy i saw one dive the sub went into the water at an angle and the passenger filming inside was standing on the hatch door but compared to fully welded titanium spheres that was like a diy paddlepop raft those people had deathwish to go in it

I agree; in addition, the woman who lost not only her son but her husband as well must have to live with the fact that she must have given her son permission to go on that voyage with his father. I could never have done that.

A sucker born every minute!

do some research on more sub rescues...anyone that knew anything about "this " sub knew it was gone

@@jeremiahbacon3651 it's still here in our hearts ;)

💯

Arrogant, cocky, and greedy. 🚫🚫🚫

Motor mouth, eyes that "see" thru you.

Sadly, a lot of the world think being ambitious with a can-do attitude are good characteristics. There are a whole load of disasters the wouldn't have happened if people listened to engineers saying "we've got a problem" rather than the "positive thinkers".

Holmes and SBF were just con artists running pyramid schemes. I think Rush actually believed his own nonsense.

Just so you know, there are absolutely no active military vessels that are operated via....an Xbox controller, I don't know why you think/wrote that, because that's just misinformation.

What did you do when you found out it was dangerous? Who did you tell?

Well it end in a disaster didn’t it since they’re disappearance

Maybe he knew it would be the end and he wanted company so, he don't become a FAILURE all alone.

I know

The big problem is they were sold a lie in the first place. I do however take an issue with the fact they had to sign a waver that meantions 'death' more often than the word 'the'' or the like. Still, they were told that, while its a risky undertaking, it would be safe to visit the boat at those depths. Even though the truth of it was thats it was more like a balloon ride where the balloon was on fire. 1 guy knew and ignored the myriad of warning this was probably gonna happen. 1 guy knew there was a possibility this could happen 1 guy knew the risks were very severle 1 guy went on a fantasical thrill-ride 1 guy was coersed.

The 7 boss monetarily supports war criminals to the tune of millions of dollars. The 7 editorial team supports hosting openly racist guests.

Just had to fix up a minor sync issue! Thanks for watching and commenting

Fix up your major racist and war criminal defense issue while you’re at it?? Or is Kerry stokes still a little bit butthurt about his best mate the murderer?

I don’t understands PH or Harding doing it. They were very experienced. PH on the Titanic and Harding had been to the deepest point on earth. They knew the risks. The Paki businessman and son were hoodwinked. I understand that he had a lifelong love of the Titanic and his son begrudgingly joined him after mom declined. As for me, if I had the money, Iu may have been reeled in by Stockton. He appeared to have the creds and ability. Hell, he was driving the bus. So sad. I’m sure of they knew 10% of what we know now they wouldn’t have gone. RIP.

They didn’t just volunteer. They payed a quarter of a million dollars per seat.

It's not like they were going to the most famous shipwreck in the world, one that only a handful of people have seen with their own eyes since it sank. Don't act like seeing it in person wouldn't be an outer body experience. When done safely, it's a very successful but expensive trip.

@Jean_Pierre_Wehry I don't care what they were going to see. If they offered to pay me, I wouldn't have gone in that unsafe thing.

@@Jean_Pierre_Wehry it’s not about the destination. It’s about the journey. No way I’m going on something that controversial with my life on the line and never would I pay a quarter of a million dollars for it.

His family and friends may feel different.

Allways always always trust your gut. That's the lesson here.

Thanks so much. Appreciate you watching and sharing your feedback.

7 openly supports racists and certified war criminals. There’s about 50-100 better documentaries out there that don’t support killing civilians.

They didn't know anything. Those alleged leaked communications have been debunked. It happened on descent and all the credible evidence points to a sudden implosion. They most likely didn't feel a thing.

As they mention it happened in a fraction of a second…faster then you could detect it with your body…..painless

But they still would have had to deal with the RTM alarms for a time before death. Imagine being over 3km deep and having to deal with that .

@@2534will It was instantaneous. They didn't hear anything.

The fact that it was instantaneous imo is not exactly a good thing. I find it extremely disturbing just imagining life to end that quickly and violently at the same time.

It absolutely was even the Coast guard failed to mention what they had already heard play simply wanted to find debris to back it up

I wonder what went through his mind the moment that thing was about to implode.

@@vanderlinde4you "It'll be fine"

What? Does boeing have to do with it, Even if he bought carbon fiber from them. Carbon fiber is used to make aircraft not submersibles. Two different types of vehicles experiencing different types of stresses.

Boeing didn't do it but they probably advised to cut corners...😮

NO ! It didn't.

It sure didn't.

@@stackula99 Yes, it did. look it up.

​@@stackula99Titanic had more lifeboats than the safety standards of the time required, AND it didn't have enough lifeboats for everyone on board, because the safety standards at the time were based on bad assumptions about when and how ships sink.

Not just Titanic; any place that challenges male ego. Mt. Everest. Volcanoes, all kinds of extreme sports attract men (few women) who think they know better.

For some people like me it's purely fascinating to see the ship on the ocean floor. It's getting as close to a part of history as you can

Everything else can fail and you'll be fine is exactly the right way to think about it. That is the definition of Fail Safe. If the electrical systems failed, there were ways to manually drop the ascent weights and surface.

Thanks so much, Anastasia.

Channel 7 bankrolled the (failed) defense of one of Australia’s most heinous war criminals. They also support far right fringe racists.

I'm guessing you meant 0.34 atmospheres, not 3.4. The pressure inside the cabin is about 0.8 atmospheres. This pressure differential causes the air inside the cabin to push outwards on the body of the plane, creating the stretch/pull on the carbon fibre which it is good at resisting.

Typo 😎​@@mitchellcotton7346

There was a father and son who declined to go; the son did some research and decided it wasn’t safe. He saved their lives. The Pakistani father and son took their place. 😞 I heard Stockton could really turn the pressure on, visiting them in person. 😞
