This old MythBusters clip is making the rounds now....
So in the vacuum of space....
Yeah first time in 2021 then 2022 and then this one......
The hull was a titanium carbon fiber alloy....Just saying. They've been around for 14 years, 200 dives and nobody died.
People acting like they just went down there with this
All the other standardized submersibles used an all metal alloy AND some type of dampening/ insulation material....this one did not.
The CEO was so damn desperate to make this dive happen he offered discounted tickets to another entrepreneur/ son and when they bailed that's when the other man and son got on board.....
Mfkr whined about regulations and how safety rules were weighing down innovation. And he actively avoided any 3rd party independent inspection/ testing.......
This is so fucked up
Lol the captain thought he was inspector gadget.. making submarine and airplanes..some nigs on bgol was mad that we wasn’t down to go “exploring and discovering things”.. yet what saved this father and son was the dad was like experimental plane nah your gadgets and gadgeting and decided to smartly abort mission… this nig was inspector gadget and jigsaw in one… even more great resource for the future horror flick “ the science project”
NOOOOOOOO FUUUKKKKIIIIIIING WAAAAYYYYYYYY !!!!!!
I stumbled upon the logitech F710 controller and I went to the reviews and they going off. Talking about help it won't connect to my submarine anymore and the user name was Ocean Gate, people are wild.
Logitech Wireless Gamepad F710 - gamepad - wireless
Wireless Gamepad F710 is a wireless, familiar-feeling gamepad with broad game support and dual vibration feedback lets you feel every hit, crash and explosion in your PC games.

Logitech: listen up ya gonna start Putting some respect on our name. People keep cracking jokes about the controller. But that’s the only thing that didn’t receive significant damage in the implosion. Maybe if inspector gadget would’ve used parts from the controller to build that submarine all those passengers might still be alive. Our controllers may malfunction but they can take one hell of a beaten.. put some respeck on our name pernt blank
the controller can work thousands of feet underwater, Sony, Microsoft nor Nintendo can make that claim in a weird way.
OceanGate CEO once said Titan sub's hull was made with carbon fiber from Boeing that was past its airplane shelf life, would-be passenger says
A writer who said he was set to travel on the doomed Titan submersible said OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told him that for the vessel's hull, the company used cut-price Boeing carbon fiber that was past its airplane shelf life.
The stunning claim came in a series of articles by Travel Weekly's editor in chief, Arnie Weissmann, who this week chronicled his experiences with the deep-sea-diving company.
OceanGate CEO once said Titan sub's hull was made with carbon fiber from Boeing that was past its airplane shelf life, would-be passenger says
Arnie Weissmann said OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush told him he sourced the Titan's carbon fiber, which was too old "for use in airplanes," from Boeing.

There were 5 key mistakes in the lead-up to the Titanic sub's catastrophic implosion. Most could have been easily avoided.
All five passengers on board the Titan submersible are presumed dead. Now, questions are being asked over safety concerns that were ignored.

Boeing and University of Washington deny OceanGate's claim that they helped design the lost Titan sub
Boeing and the University of Washington are pushing back on Oceangate's claims that wrote the Titan was "designed and engineered by OceanGate Inc. in collaboration [with] experts from NASA, Boeing, and the University of Washington." OceanGate
OceanGate's Titan submersible has been missing since Sunday.
OceanGate claimed that Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington helped design the Titan.
Two of those three entities have said they weren't involved
OceanGate, the company that built the Titan submersible that has been missing since Sunday, previously said that Boeing, NASA, and the University of Washington collaborated on the design for the vessel.
On the company's website, OceanGate wrote that the Titan was "designed and engineered by OceanGate Inc. in collaboration [with] experts from NASA, Boeing, and the University of Washington."
But two of those listed entities, Boeing and the University of Washington, are saying that's not true. NASA, which did consult on the design, is now clarifying what its invovement did and didn't entail.
In a statement sent to Insider, Boeing said the aircraft company was not involved with the development of OceanGate's Titan.
"Boeing was not a partner on the Titan and did not design or build it," a Boeing spokesperson said in an emailed statement to Insider. The spokesperson did not elaborate on any connection to OceanGate.
The University of Washington also released a statement saying that it wasn't involved in creating OceanGate's Titan submersible.
In a statement provided to CNN, University of Washington spokesperson Victor Balta said the university's Applied Physics Laboratory was not involved in the "design, engineering, or testing of the Titan submersible."
Balta said that the university's laboratory had previously signed a $5 million agreement for collaborating on research with OceanGate. But the collaboration resulted in a "steel-hulled vessel, named the Cyclops 1," not the design for the Titan submersible.
The two organizations parted ways, Balta told CNN, after just $650,000 of work had been completed.
The Cyclops 1 is another submersible vessel model that OceanGate has advertised on its website. The Cyclops model can travel to 1,640 feet — much shallower than the Titan's over 13,000 feet claim — and "served as a fully functioning prototype throughout the development of Titan," according to OceanGate's website.
OceanGate performed test tanks at the University of Washington's School of Oceanography, Balta told CNN. Balta added that "UW personnel did not provide any verification or validation of any OceanGate equipment as a result of those tests," Balta added.
The University of Washington did not respond in time to a request for comment from Insider ahead of publication.
NASA did previously consult on the Titan submersible with OceanGate. NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center had a Space Act Agreement with OceanGate, Lance D. Davis, acting news chief for NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center said in a statement sent to Insider. A Space Act Agreement allows NASA to work with any organizations that "meet wide-ranging NASA missions and program requirements and objectives," according to information about the policy on NASA's website.
"We regret to hear the Titan submersible is missing, and we remain hopeful the crew will be found unharmed," Davis wrote in a statement to Insider. "NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center had a Space Act Agreement with OceanGate and consulted on materials and manufacturing processes for the submersible. NASA did not conduct testing and manufacturing via its workforce or facilities, which were done elsewhere by OceanGate."
During the Covid-19 pandemic, Davis said that NASA's Marshall center also provided "consultation for materials and manufacturing processes based on industry standards" to OceanGate.
"We did not provide any approvals for the project as OceanGate was the technical authority," Davis wrote.

True.
I was on a nuke.
But I will also say this. There are other groups that take people down to the titanic. And have no issues.
This particular company tried to go cheap and paid for it

We went no where near that deep.

This thread and Twitter is proof positive that people LOVE negativity.
I bet most people had NO IDEA that groups have been going down to see the titanic since the 80s when it was discovered.
Jame Cameron has been down there dozens of times and I think he is part owner of a.company that finds other shipwrecks.
People die doing what they love everyday. Somebody is right now somewhere. Personally I don't find it funny.
But that's just me I guess.
What's the point of living if you never take any kind of chances?
Deep diving isn't my thing but I understand the appeal.

Missing submersible victim's stepson slams Cardi B as 'complete bitch'
Brian Szasz, stepson of missing 'Titan' submersible passenger Hamish Harding, slammed Cardi B for criticizing him for attending a Blink-182 concert.
let me drop some warning bars...
that boy better chill the f*ck out
I messed with Black latinas from the BX before Uncle Chuck
had me f*cking on the roof, hiding in the shower, climbing down fire escapes, going thru bodega back doors, jumping turnstiles..
but somehow fixing my credit, beating up the chick in payroll who screwed up my last 2 checks, getting me designer clothes half price and finding me a rent controlled 2 bedroom for 750 a month in the 90s
Just saying...
this will NOT end well
watch this kid lose that billion BEFORE he even gets it.
*bookmarked
He already seems like his priorities are fucked up.
billion dollar bars
It could have been sabotage/terrorism, now is not the time to take risky ventures like this anywhere if you knew the things I know. I would have stopped and took a long break. The government had shut down NASA for reason, and dump all of this onto the private sector to shield itself.
