Josh made a simple, but insightful, risk calculation: that the risk _was incalculable_ . Although he didn't say it explicitly, one can imply that Josh figured that the risk _could_ be too great. Good call.

Like he said, it could be pressure cycle fatigue. The comet airliner in the 1950s broke up in the sky. 7 broke up and they finally did cycle pressure tests and determined they all broke up from metal fatigue from the pressure cycles. All these submarines should be tested in the same way.

My man said "this is not for me" after first hand experience with the Harbor Freight submersible. I would say he made the right call.

I really liked what Josh said and he seemed more knowledgeable about the mechanics of it, than I was expecting.

I know he must feel like the luckiest man in the world right now that he passed on that trip. Just like the people who missed making it onto the Titanic itself. Or getting on one of the hijacked planes on 9/11.

Thank God he didn’t go God is with you Josh keep listening to him And God bless you always

To be fair, 50 year old white guys with good resumes designed, built, and sailed the Titanic as well. Look what happened to it.

There are risks in everything, but when you sign on to do an excursion with a company you expect that that company has done everything they can to ensure passenger safety. You expect the company to get outside inspections, you expect them to get all the certifications and classifications they need, and to run numerous tests. You expect a company to be completely transparent about those tests and inspections. It doesn't sound like Oceangate did any of this. It was never registered as a commercial submersible which prevented it from having to meet certain regulations. Risk? Yes, but this goes beyond normal risk.

I would never go in any submersible if I was offered $1bm! lol

I’m glad Josh Gates recognize how risky it would have been to be on board the ill fated Titan submersible in any extreme deep sea dive due to its likely and apparent inability to hold up against the extreme pressure of the deep sea. I like Josh Gates shows Expedition Unknown and Expedition X. Josh Gates might be seen as an extremist or risk taker but he always seems to acknowledge and appreciate the risks and dangers of any expedition he takes to dangerous environments he visits. He is right in saying exploration will go on and the Titanic will continue to fascinate people. He is right in saying that the lesson and mistakes of the Titan submersible tragedy must be learned from and the safety of human life must be the most important thing despite any and all risks that come with exploring dangerous and or hostile environments.

Isn't this what innovator's do, absolutely but they don't charge people $250,000 under a false pretense its safe and risk their lives.

He said it about as good as you can, respect

I believe not only the hull is a cylinder like a soda can. It’s harder to crunch a can on it’s ends without a crease. But easy on it’s wide part with no problem. An egg is almost a sphere in shape had its very hard to break just by squeezing. The cylinder can design was its fatal flaw.

Not one thing unreasonable or out of line with his perspective too many unknowns that could have should have been remedied first. This disaster had a better chance of never happening then.

A shocking deal of foolishness seems to have been involved. Grief over the deceased should not stop us from pointing to the numerous ways in which safety was disregarded. The only person where one can try to find some degree of rationality, for him to risk his life so unreasonably, is the French guide. He was a retired submariner, an old man with a fixation over Titanic who happened to be very well paid to dive. So well paid, I guess, he was thinking about his children and grandchildren at least as much as about Titanic. He lost his life as a richer old man than many other French navy officers, probably (though others aren't bad either, at finding extra revenue sources).

Smart call Josh. Gotta be there for your family as well. Air pressure and temperature are different from water pressure and temperature.

I don't think you should be taking tourists in an experimental sub for profit. its one thing to put yourself in danger but it is another to put an put someone who does not really have enough knowledge to consent to the danger. I doubt the passengers were engineers with the understanding of lack of research on carbon fiber and external pressure.

Passengers who are not experts in building subs would expect the company to have the proper certifications, and design. This wasn't about the unknown like getting tangled stuck on the bottom. That is what people thought when they signed that waiver. People don't expect the pressure hull to fail.

My condolences to the family and friends of the 44 Argentine Sailors killed on sub ARA San Juan. 🇦🇷 In 2017 you barely made the news. 😑

In this day in time a sub like this could be operated remotely for its first dives and then do checks on the integrity of the carbon fiber. They could have done 3-4-5 maybe ten dives to the titanic via remote control before putting a single person inside of it.

Amazing how many assumptions are being made with absolutely no clue or evidence. Sad. Josh Gates seems cool tho'

Some risk is definitely required but a $50 Xbox console to drive the sub is something else. All these rich people taking rides down to the Titanic so where is there money going? It's definitely not towards safety Hopefully this catastrophe will put an end to this billionaire circus ride trip to the Titanic. Let the ship rest in peace. Go find something else to spend your money on.

What season was it

Can't stand Cuomo, but I love me some josh gates!! He put it perfectly

Its either over use it definitely wasn't engineered correctly...or it was a plot to kill them off. Prior to the descend perhaps the craft was tampered with. Was it the son or a mistress disgruntled employee...must investigate all angles. The son seems suspect.

This is so sad

Excellent interview. Really good research. Thank you, Chris Cuomo.

"Isn't that how it's done? You want to try something never done before so you have to take that risk?" *Josh Gates going from nodding in agreement about the news anchor having watched his show before shaking his head in disagreement with his idea about taking unnecessary risks* His response in the middle of shaking his head saying no: "absolutely 😃" 🤣🤣🤣

They were going to see a ship that may not have been safe sailed..... with a sub that may not have been safe to sailed.

That submersible could've been sent down empty dozens of times with instrumentation to "baseline" it's performance. The company chose not to do that. We all know that is because test runs cost money and don't generate profit. So the company chose profit over science, and the passengers(with the exception of the underage passenger) accepted that.
