  1. Is this guy a tot fkn IMBECILE?! It's a "great co. doing great thing"!? 🤯🤯
    -Disregarding ALL of the regulatory agencies involved in deep sea diving + literally FIRING + sueing their own engineer bc he told them the fkn TRUTH?!!?

    Dude!? JACKASS's like this complete fkn MORON, is why this tragedy happened + now "hoping" for a similar catastrophe in space tourism to "even it out", is beyond grotesque

  2. "They thought of everything…" šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚. Is this guy for real?

  3. This guy's lucky to be alive…

  4. Diving on the Titanic isn't ā€œexplorationā€. It's risking life and limb, for the sake of the kudos, and a few snaps, to show guests, at parties. What else could it be?

  5. Sounds like he dodged a bullet on four occasions- Fifth time not a charm. šŸ˜‰

  6. The company made millions of cash yet it transported people in a dangerous tin

  7. The writer of simpsons…. Who had an episode of this…

  8. I am sorry to be one of those guys but i am just gonna say it…

    Poor people in poor conditions die every day, suddenly 5 big shots are on the brink of dieing and the entire world knows.
    Ahhh humans, how ignorant can we be sometimes…

  9. Maybe submarines in the future should be equipped with a tethered buoy connected to the sub that you could shoot off. It would be tethered by line or wire to the sub, and the buoy would be shot to the ocean's surface. Rescuers would simply follow the buoy line down to the submarine. šŸ’”

  10. Dude went 4 times… spent a mill… knowing they lose communication.. I guess when you have everything and have done everything you gotta do this type of sh|t šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

  11. Maybe the owner of the company should have hired those 50 yr old white ex naval guys he talked so highly of. šŸ¤” oh wait DEI at in again. Wawa

  12. Why not stay cabled to the surface ship? They have cables that long and given the wealth of the average passenger, seems like a fall back safety measure

  13. That’s going to be some epic inheritance money.

  14. Pay attention to what he's saying those people are lost for A reason

  15. Can someone tell me why Antipodes or Cyclops 1 are not going down to look for Titan. This company is said to have 3 submersibles!

  16. Imagine after the first time losing communication, this guy went on three more times. He is either one of the luckiest or stupid people alive.

  17. This guy went down four times thats a million bucks…but looks like he's livin in a broom closet….

  18. as terrified of water as I am, this would be my worst nightmare

  19. I’m surprised, with how dangerous all these dives were, that this Company is still open and not shut down…

  20. I’m sorry but the movie was good enough for me I don’t need to go down and see it to. Just like I don’t need to go into space videos are enough for me. I think it’s dumb and very reckless if you have a family to put your life at risk just to see a sunken boat.

  21. OceanGate CEO: "I broke lots of rules to get this sub launched." (Quoted in another video on the subject).
    Haven't I heard that before? Something with "…Gate" and "I broke lots of rules…" ??? šŸ¤” Something with "Nix.."?
