Netflix Oceangate documenary coming
We lost some true heroes that day... I wish he could be here with us now, with President Trump making America Great again, again.
The submarine according to Netflix
If I was on that sub it wouldn't have gone down like it did
The whole Oceangate story is more complicated than just somebody making a stupid mistake. Stockton rush was trying to start a business and it was failing and out of money and he was desperate to demonstrate his sub design was safe so he could sell it for mass production.
So did the families atleast get a refund?
wow it's not like there hasn't been a million fucking youtube documentaries about this already
Lmao
It’s called an inheritance.
No it isn't
half of the "documentary" is dedicated to the CEO's secret homosexuality and how the people he brought into the subs are actually his sex buddies
psychologists and engineers are hired to give their opinion on how a gay orgy at the bottom of the sea could have caused it to implode
shut up incel
I think we all learned something that day
I hope they show the stepson who was pictured smiling at concerts and claimed he was autistic when he was called out for seemingly not caring about his dead dad.
Sure, blame the guy for daring to dream.
He also didn't hire 50 year old white guys because they all told him he was going to die.
lmao imagine being the cuck son and getting yourself killed because you couldn't say no to your cuck dad loooolll
Just imagine, that big head got turned into gloop in a fraction of a second. I wonder if they found any of his teeth.
the funniest part was when his son was seen at a basketball game or concert 48 hours later
fuck you guys seriously, making fun of peoples deaths almost 2 years later. Dont you people realize the families are still drowning in grief over the loss of their loved ones? For some the loss on the day hasn't even truly sunk in yet.
i read the entire wiki on oceangate the other day
it remains to this day one of the greatest achievements in meme history
dear god, what a schmuck
at every single chance, he derided industry experts as subverting innovation in the name of safety. the amount of hubris this guy had was terminal.
But dude it's Netflix, they are the official authority on the truth.
Can't wait to confidently preach about what I was lead to believe to other people!
It was funny watching news readers struggle not to laugh as the stupidity unfolded. My favourite was when they were talking about how small the area was and that they couldn't even stretch their legs lol.
fire your engineers warning you that your death trap is literally a death trap
deny requests from regulatory bodies in the community to assess your death trap
expect some sucker to invest billions in you so you can make many more death traps
have one millisecond to act surprised when your death trap kills you
He was truly out of his fucking mind
Kek
this waiver basically says you forfeit your life
where do I sign up
It was cool when James Cameron talked about how this guy was a dumbass.
What would be more kino, the fact it imploded or if we found it floating in the sea and they ran out of air?
Truly a wild story of a man who thinks he know better than experts.
“If you’re operating within a known environment, as most submersible manufacturers do, they don’t break things. To me, the more stuff you’ve broken, the more innovative you’ve been.”

this would have been a painless death, yes? Maybe there would have been some panic in the preceding moments if he had realized how badly he had fucked up
If only all boomer fags like him got a reality check as brutal
yfw your husband's sub implodes
This, the families must feel totally crushed by what happened
Yeah they might have had a sense that something was wrong if the sub was making sounds (which it probably was and apparently did often due to stress on the carbon fibre). The fact that they dropped their weights early suggests they knew something was wrong and wanted to get the fuck out of there. As for the moment of implosion itself, absolutely 100% painless. It happened in a thousandth of a second. Your brain literally wouldn't have time to process it.
Is it really instantaneous? They might have experienced sudden pressure changes as it began to crack maybe just for seconds before.
Dropping the weights suggested something had really spooked them.
I hear you're fish food now farther
Cameron really knows his shit when it comes to subs and sub diving, in addition to being a general all-round smartass
If Cameron tells you your sub design is shit and dangerous, it's shit and dangerous
He’s gone to the deepest regions of the ocean, solo, the man’s advice is worth taking
Completely instantaneous. Like someone flipping off your alive switch. There'd be no change in pressure or gradual degredation in hull integrity due to how flimsy the sub was. The very instant it was compromised, it was gone in a fraction of a fraction of a second.
hfw she doesn’t need to do this shit anymore because that pin scratch you did on the side finished the man baby off for good
Youtubers produce better docs than Netflix slop.
or if we found it floating in the sea and they ran out of air?
That's what I was hoping for when it happened, because it would have been the funniest outcome
Why was American entrepreneurship throughout the 2010’s and even up to today so obsessed with “breaking the rules”? They actually use that phrase to market their products, as if it was a good thing.
BBC is airing their own docu on Tuesday. Everyone is hopping on the Titan ship it seems.
That trailer
Holy schlock. The music stings are straight out of Kitchen Nightmare or some shit. The fuck happened to documentaries man
Over dramatized music
Constantly comparing him with the Titanic captain
James Cameron small interview
Everybody shitting on him saying 'he yelled at me once'
All 'experts' knew it was going to happen.
Innacurate scientific explanations.
No thanks
I heard you're an oceanic engineer now, Father!
It was just a nostalgia based marketing term. They were targeting older investors nostalgic for their younger days of rebellion, and the idea they didn't have to play by the rules to make it in life. Invest with us man, we're doing things different and we're going to make a bunch of money doing it! We're not like those other corporations that play it safe and only give you a tiny fractional return on your investment!
film opens with a dramatic reenactment of the implosion
Rush enters with his rich patrons into the sub
cut to his wife and a couple guys sitting in a boat, monitoring the sub
the titan's weights are lifted and they descend
cut back to Stockton sharing tuna among his four passengers
a loud creaking sound is heard
Rush hears it but shrugs as he continues eating the tuna
within milliseconds the sub explodes, Rush and the Titan's passengers are suddenly turned into shitty animated meat goo as the sub implodes into a twisted piece of scrap metal
cut back to Stockton's wife hearing the explosion
fade to black, title fades in
THE TITAN(IC)
*record scratch*
yep that's me
Jim Cameron, literally the most successful director of all time, is one of the 50yo white guys who Stockton refused to hire for not being inspirational enough lmao
James Cameron has a submersible literally rated to withstand traveling down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench, which is way deeper than Titanic. The Titan submersible was hardly rated for the bottom of your average fishing lake. Hate on his films all you want but Cameron knows his shit when it comes to submersibles.
the fucking squirrel
Five men become as one as a swirling cloud of pink mist, deep beneath the ocean waves. Just imagine, some of the matter that used to constitute your brain could end up mingling with the remains of Stockton's balls
Sometimes people do 'know better than the experts'. And sometimes they're just someone like this guy or Meredith Perry, who has been given a lot of money and encouragement by a parent and delusionally believes that their top of the head bad idea is 'blowing away the old rules'. Usually, as soon as they start talking, you can tell which kind of person you're dealing with. That's why we laugh when investors fell for a clear goober. And yet people who are often smart and successful do just keep giving these total goobers their money and sometimes lives. This part is a mystery
I'd like to watch a documentary just about him. Seems like his family raised him with the expectation that he would be some sort of national hero and as he got older that dream became more and more detached from reality.
