Experts raised safety concerns back in 2018 about the submersible vessel that has been missing since Sunday, when it descended with tourists on a deep ocean journey to view the wreckage of the Titanic. The pilot and four passengers are aboard and the available oxygen on the vehicle has been forecast to run out Thursday.

Hey nbc can we not know this experts name?
They tried to warn OceanGate about Titan Safety concerns but Stockton Rush didn’t listen to their warnings. James Cameron was always carefully about building his own submarine and was aware about safety concerns
They should be held accountable
We prefer diversity over safety
If what I've been hearing is true, people need to go to prison. How can you allow a sub designed for 1300 ft pressure to descend to 4000 ft. And don't say "Oh they only cared about money" Your sub crushed like a tin can and slaughtered 5 human beings, you don't think there's a tiny remote possibility that might have a negative effect on your bottom line?
Sounds like the Titan was out of a cereal box, Stockton, the arrogant, cocky man is dead
It’s incredible someone with billions wouldn’t go on the absolute best submersible.
He's right. Experimental cant become a routine excercise without evolution and with human life at stake. It's sadly a loop hole the company used to profit despite the concerns of the submariner community. Their waivers knew the risks involved, but I doubt the paying explorers fully understood that this vessel was doomed from the beginning.
Tragic lesson for the kind of outfits that put passengers on uncertified craft.
Then is call them terrorist . You stop it or you guys blow it
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They are the FIRST clowns to make the trup in a toy craft. What could possibly go wrong? The dad killed his son.
Oh well Soap Box Amateurs
I feel especially saddened that a 19 year old accompanied his father on this ill-fated sightseeing trip.
And the irony of this being a Titanic sightseeing trip.
uncertified sub that's driven with xbox controller?
Just say no
It seems very weird that they didn’t certify a vessel like this, it would be like someone building their own jet and not getting it inspected
At the time of making this comment they have not been found. It is now a recovery not rescue. R. I. P.
You ever hear of freedom, and personal choice, and personal responsibility 🤔 Titan was an experimental submersible, and there was a calculated risk, and exploitation, pushing new limits is the name of the game when it comes to new breakthroughs. The people that went on the Titan signed papers they knew the risk, they knew they were possibly putting themselves in a situation that could cost them their life’s.
These people died pushing limits, and living life to the fullest and reaching for their dreams of what they could do and see. Would I go on a submersible like the Titan, no way, it’s not worth the risk to me. It’s unfortunate it ended this way, but I don’t think fear should ever handcuff exploration, and discovery. In due time every living thing on the planet will be dead, no matter what you do death will come for us all, now you can cower in fear your whole life and try to avoid the inevitable, or you can live life to the fullest for yourself and except whatever fate comes along in your journey, and for me that is the life I prefer to live.
Funny that this company calls itself OceanGate, since every scandal since Watergate has been nicknamed using the "gate" suffix. When regulators begin investigating this company, the media will have a name handy to label the inquiry.
ok video, just the way i like them, short anything that is too long i seem to lose attention to pretty quick
I don't know exactly what they were expecting when they were trying to pull this off. It has to be a different narrative in America right now otherwise America is in a great world of trouble.
President Trump would of saved them, he says "Not on My Watch"…Where is Australia ?
This man deserves an introduction. I thank him for his very soft-spoken statement of concern. It's always nice to know who is speaking. Will Kohnen- it's the reading trick.
People died because of rich men's folly
Wasn't it oceangate who said they didn't want to hire white 50yr olds with military experience because….wait for it….they lacked flair. Great, so the Drag Queen you hired to take tourists on a ride must have done an awesome job?
I sincereley hope they were old billionaires, not younger, so hopefully many other risky adventures had been had.
going to see the titanic wreckage as a tourist is as banal an act as following someone who asks if you want to see a dead body. why should we be upset that these fools got the true titanic experience? perhaps the money spent on their death dive could have been used to feed or house the poor, or find refugees a forever home. #priorities
