@@luns486.......What an utterly ridiculous comment! RMS Titanic was built by the largest and most renowned shipbuilders on the planet - Harland & Wolff - and owned and operated by one of the world's most prominent shipping companies - Britain's White Star Line - who were in turn owned by the world's richest man at that time, JP Morgan. In charge of the Titanic on her maiden voyage was White Star's most senior and experienced captain and the company's commodore - Captain Edward Smith. Also onboard Titanic for her fateful first voyage was White Star's Chairman J Bruce Ismay who famously stated that the Titanic was the 'world's largest movable object ever fashioned by the hands of man' At a cost of US$7.5m [US$166m in todays' money] in 1909, Titanic was a state-of-the-art, ultra-luxurious liner that included ground-breaking safety features never before seen on passenger ships - such as a double-hull, watertight compartments, automatically operated bulkhead doors and provision for over sixty lifeboats - although these were later reduced to conform with British Board of Trade requirements. It is also an established fact that at no point did White Star, Ismay, Thomas Andrews [White Star's chief architect and designer of Titanic] Captain Smith or anyone else related to the ship ever claim that the Titanic was 'unsinkable'. [this infamous quote was invented and bestowed on the Titanic by the newspapers and typically sensationalist journalists of the day. The 'Titan' was a mickey mouse vessel, cobbled together by using a plethora of second-hand and spare parts and designed and built on behalf of a highly dubious and clearly delusional American businessman [Stockton Rush]. It had no regulatory marine or engineering certification and for all and intense purpose was only intended as a toy to take obscenely rich people on a jolly to what is in effect a grave for over fifteen hundred poor souls. There is absolutely no comparison between the two vessels or of the hard-selling Mr Rush and those involved with Titanic.

The son is very well spoken and had the wisdom to ask questions. Hats off to the dad for raising such a nice boy.

From what i saw on the news and social media, the other young man who was in the sub were there because it's what his dad wants, even if he himself was afraid to get in. The reporter is right, it is an eerie parallel between them, that it's like looking at the personification of what wise and bad decisions look like if they were father and son.

The Dad raised his son to think for himself, and ultimately this saved both their lives. A much different story to the other father and son who went on the trip despite his doubts to please his father. An important lesson for us all.

The son is running his mouth. He says he's knew immediately, from looking at it, the thing "couldn't make it to the bottom of the ocean". Besides "the bottom of there ocean" not being any particular depth, the submersible had already successfully visited the Titanic many times in the previous two years. So his supposed reason or "gut feeling" makes no sense. Dad, however, gave a couple of reasons for his skepticism and he did not credit his son for saving the day either.

Wow. Dude was living on the edge the whole time

Good on them for having the sense to see the risks involved. I can’t help thinking that the sub would have descended even quicker with those two heavy hitters onboard.

I think the main difference between people who took this trip and those who refused is how they reacted to rush's enthusiasm. some people are easily pulled in by charismatic people believing in their projects, whereas other people see the same person's attitude as indicating impaired judgement. basically the guy was all "don't worry, don't worry, it's safe", and some people believed him (in part simply because he went along for the ride, so clearly he believed it himself), whereas others got more suspicious about him seemingly not being able to identify danger at all, making his assessment less trustworthy than if he had been able to identify limited danger.

The Titanic wreck and its story was a message for humanity about the dangers of arrogance and overconfidence which led to lots of deaths. It was a warning not to repeat the same mistake and learn from the tragedy. For the CEO to repeat the exact same mistake shows that he didn't actually learn what Titanic was about. The point of the wreck flew way over his head.

It really got me when the dad said what he told Stockton didn’t “fit his narrative.” So many people today have their own narrative. I’ve heard people saying “my truth” or ‘my facts” but this tragedy should prove that the truth doesn’t give any ducks about your narrative, your truth, or your feelings.

Thankfully the dad was a pilot and knew enough about aircraft to see how sketchy this was. I’m a diver and understand the very very basics of atmospheres of pressure from my training, and it’s astonishing to me that a rover can withstand that much pressure, much less a submersible with people in it. This isn’t a normal depth. This is 400x the pressure on land. Stockton decided to use carbon fiber instead of titanium (a stronger material). Imagine putting passengers on an airplane made out of recycled soda cans. It might work a couple of times, but it won’t last. It’s not strong enough for that! It would fall apart under stress. That’s why other people in the industry were not on board with this experiment.

This father's comment about how Stockton Rush had a very different "risk appetite," really says everything. It's true that many, many people get off on doing much more risky things in life than the average person: climbing mountains, sky diving, diving with sharks, ice diving....or riding in tiny submersibles to see the ocean floor. And many of these people, because of their risk appetites, are entrepreneurs, and make lots of money simply because they are risk takers with their money (or others' money). But when that mindset crosses into become somewhat of a death wish - "just do it just for the sake of doing it, no matter the cost," and the CEO called those who had safety concerns "baseless cries," then they become nothing more than FOOLS and their endeavors nothing more than folly. This CEO was indeed a fool for losing not only his own life but 4 others as well. Criminal.

I'm not a space guy, but I did study engineering in college. The fact is, if the International Space Station, or a space shuttle springs a leak, the vacuum of space is only 1 atmosphere less than the surface of the Earth. It's not enough of a pressure difference to cause an explosion. It would lose air, but my hunch is that they are prepared to plug the hole and then repair the damage quickly. In a submarine, even one that isn't meant to go quite as deep as the Titanic, the pressure difference adds up much faster. Several military subs have collapsed at only a fraction of the depth of the Titan, and there's no chance of survival for those on board. If the hull gets breached, it's like popping a balloon. The vessel gets torn and crushes in on itself. For the Titan, way down at the bottom, the pressure is so great that the walls might as well have been made of TNT once they gave out. I doubt there are even bodies left behind that could be recovered.

Prime example of why you should stop and question things when they are deemed "safe and effective"

Trigger warning: sexual assault . . I myself learned at 20 years old (in 1988) about the critical importance of intuition. At that age, my friend and I accepted a ride home from someone we had just met earlier that evening, and when he dropped my friend off at her house (only a couple blocks from mine), a voice in my head said “get out of the car now and walk home.” But I made a split-second decision to ignore that voice. He ended up driving me to a very remote area and verbally terrorizing me for a long while before raping me. I also became pregnant from that rape and needed an abortion. Absolutely traumatizing. I was able to prosecute and he was sentenced to prison (not long enough). But I’ve never forgotten the lesson about a) not accepting rides from essentially strangers, and b) listening to my intuition.

Condolences to all families! Praying for them!

I think it's weird that they keep mentioning that they're in a small minority of people that have the curiosity to see the TItanic rather than the small minority who have the money

This is why critical thinking is SO important. Doesn’t matter if it’s a $150000 trip or their claims, what matters is your judgement and most importantly always being informed. It will make you stand out from the rest.

AND trusting your gut !!!!

It's refreshing to see good people with common sense, who were not prepared to risk their lives, for the thrill of doing something rare.

Oh stop - most people have sense and wouldn’t risk their lives . Don’t make it sound like a refreshing rare exception . The folks who take these adventures are a rare breed . They have the means and nerves to do these things . It’s their choice . I take issue with all the lives put at risk in the search and rescue mission . That aspect needs to be better thought through .

Something stupid. Not rare

Both father n son had good/valid questions/concerns.

Why did these guys get a discount offer? $150k to $250? Big difference. 😮

His father is a true gentleman. While many of us are focused on being judgmental to the CEO's blind ambition, he was empathetic. It's not easy to become that type of good natured person.

He's on TV, he's gotta be good natured. I bet you all my money anyone here berating on the kid for being fat or being salty about their wealth would talk the same way. The newcasters would also make sure everything they would say is curated first before going live. Don't be so naive.

The dad is likely a wealthy business man. Going on TV to trash a man whose death is so recent would be a bad look. I thought the father releasing the text conversations out to the public during the search for the sub was in poor taste.

They are not in that small group of people who 'have that curiosity'. We all have that curiosity. They are in that small group willing and able to pay $250K to see the Titanic wreck and dive that deep. In this case, what a narrow escape! Imagine seeing their faces and thinking it could be yours. Wow. Some story to tell the grandkids. Smart son and smart father for listening to him. So glad you are with us.

So you dont have $250,000 to see the Titanic? Well, how much would you pay if you had money to spend? The son here said seeing the Titanic is his dream, and it still is. He just wants a safer sub.

@@dannyMCDelight At the end of the interview, the son says "it's definitely not something we're ever going to be trying to do again". They were so close to dying, they must be so glad to be alive, I'm pretty sure they would never want to do it even with the safest submarine in the world. As the son says, the ocean is much scarier than space. This is true no matter what kind of submarine you're using.
