OceanGate Titan sub ‘malfunctioned’ days before doomed Titanic mission 

OceanGate Titan sub ‘malfunctioned’ days before doomed Titanic mission #breakingnews #oceangate #titanic #submarine The scientific director of the company that owned the Titan sub revealed it malfunctioned days before its doomed voyage to the Titanic last year. On day four of the US Coast Guard‘s hearing over the implosion of OceanGate’s Titan sub, Dr Steven Ross spoke about a frightening mission that left him and other passengers at the surface unable to get out of the 6.7 metre vessel. He told the panel a malfunction caused the sub to crash into bulkheading, leaving one passenger “hanging upside down” and others hanging on inside. OceanGate’s founder and pilot Stockton Rush, who was one of five killed in the dive last June, was also behind the controller of the mission days before. “After we reached the surface, the platform had a valve malfunction and the bow of the platform submerged, tilting the platform and the sub to about a 45 degree angle,” Mr Ross said. “The pilot crashed into the rear bulkhead, the rest of the passengers tumbled about. “I ended up standing on the rear bulkhead. One passenger was hanging upside down and the other two managed to wedge themselves into the bow end cap.” He described it as “uncomfortable and unpleasant”.

Bullying egomaniacs ignoring requirements.... Stockton could have worked for Boeing. Keep these sort of people away from other peoples safety.

Rush seemed to believe that he would be remembered like the Challenger astronauts. As a pioneer. An innovator. I've heard a number of words to describe him, 'innovator' isn't one.

Stockton Rush will indeed be remembered for the rules he broke... what a great legacy he left behind.

I now believe Stockton was actually secretly suicidal because he was tired of not getting the recognition he believed he deserved. He was delusional. So many culpable people are still alive to hold responsibility.

"There's a rule you don't do that. Well, I did." Yeah and it bit you hard in the @ss and took down your paying customers with you.

That statement should be on his tombstone. You are remembered by the rules you break.

Rush really demonstrated the old adage. "Through denial, you can convince yourself of anything." He created his own version of reality and sold it to others who wanted to believe him. Given the knowledgeable advice and realistic concerns of others, Titan was bound for disaster in the real world of deep see exploration. Rush was clearly responsible for what happened to Titan, but the gullibility of the "passengers" exacerbated the situation. How to correct the problem(s) and ensure that it does not happen again remains the issue moving forward.

Rush would be so proud of himself for breaking rules...

I mean ... c'mon ... you must be completely nuts to go into that nutshell and dive 3.500+ meters deep ... and no, that is not making the criminality of the head of the enterprise go away.

There are especially two things that make a person or persons remembered in history. The first thing is if the person has carried out or created something extremely excellent. The other thing is if the person has shown extreme stupidity and arrogance that got innocent people killed. The latter is not really special for just the Titan tragedy but usually most tragedies that ended up costing a lot of innocent people their lives.

Well, he did and now he's dead.

Well stock you broke one rule that everyone said you don’t break and it’s exactly what you did. Now where are you? Fish food.

Scientific director? Company that owned the Titan? I heard from the news it was some random dudes submarine and he just built it himself

It looks like everything and everyone got smashed into the aft section. The coastguard said human remains were recovered. Wonder if any were in that section.

They pushed that sub a little too hard.

That best friend of Stockton and his wife is as much an expert on submersibles as I am, "mission specialist" was simply a euphemism for rich tourist (only given to them to get around the laws that protect civilians) but she really thinks she knows what she's talking about? Money can't buy you common sense.

Remembered for rules you break no remembered for recklessly going ahead with zero testing and ending 4 innocent people

Yes he broke the rules and payed for it.unfortunatly other souls payed too.😢

Wait, was Renata a mission specialist?! 😮 😅😂 this is laughable. This woman was simply a Titanic fan. She was a diver, but she never had any expert knowledge of this kind of stuff. That company was a joke. No doubt about it now. They should have never be allowed to operate. She is a banker from NY! I don’t care she is tech diver or explorer. What would her input be on safety management once something goes wrong? I can see why it took them 10 hours to call the coast guards.! They were probably running like chickens not knowing what to do. None of them, idiots! Where are all of them coming out and expressing their condolences to the family publicly?! None of them show their faces afterwards.

The front circular titanium ring was lifted ashore shaped in an oval. The bolts holding the ring to the front dome sheared off.

The robotic camera that filmed this is the only way to explore this NO reason for people who look through a glass bowl to be down there and risking there life

Ocean gate met its fate because Stockton now smush was in a rush to play with his toys and bring his friends along

I do not ever want to be criticized by a man with a Scottish accent.

He broke it alright

Failure occurred near the front. The carbon fibre compressed enough to allow water to enter pushing the hull aft, and blowing out the window. The front titanium came ashore in an oval shape… not circular… oval. It can be seen being lifted off the salvage ship.

It's possible that crash caused a structural failing in in the connection with the front nose cap, aggravated one but, that's then what caused it to implode.

Well, you did.... I wonder if Rush would like to have a 50 year old white man redesign his bobber thingy now.

"With exploration there is risk", true but you need to mitigate those risks or dont do it, thats been the policy I have worked under in the subsea engineering World.

What about the carbon-fiber body. Any parts recovered?

So many BS artists, giving themselves grand titles

I love that whenever youtube puts a wikipedia context clarification at the top of the comments, it just means its a subject you should look into. Which business mongol, whos competition was aboard the Titanic when it sunk, later went on to establish the US federal reserve?

Are you really the messiah? Yes I am !

I hope there still alive☺️

Why government allowed this?

Even they knew the problem they let these people pay big cash to dive in this thing?😮

1:25 He's remembered as a murderer! It's funny how life works.
