Hey in hindsight does anyone know where Luigi was on the day in question? Could've hacked the controls with some classic Luigi Player 2 antics...

If that's where we are going to go, shouldn't it be Evil Bert?

Profiting off a disaster that was profiting off a disaster.

It still cracks me up that the thing didnt even have windows

They went all the way down there to watch the Titanic on a damn screen

Guess I was wrong!

It had a window

It had a window

Oh damn

I could've sworn I read reports saying this thing didn't have any windows. Maybe I'm mixing it up with something else

Underwater shit is real nightmare fuel to me.

This is the scariest story I can imagine.

Subnautica was an unintentional survival horror game.

I just saw the video of OceanGate CEO's wife hearing the sound. I found it strange she was smiling after hearing it, not sure if that was a nervous smile, people act differently in these sorts of things, but I know I wouldn't be smiling if I knew it was my family down there with other people, but that's just me.

Just watched that Netflix doc, I knew that Stockton was a piece of shit but man, he was an absolute devil.

 

[Hyet]

Keep in mind Netflix docs are not meant to be informative, they go for maxium impact for entertatinment. They will try to rile you up because a sad story doesn't usually gets word of mouth.

I was just watching YT videos about the other day.(inspired by Netflix).
One of them was about the audio recording of him sacking his health & safety expert.
And another was about the footage from the tests Oceangate were conducting on the carbon fibre hull.

Oceangate was a company run more like a cult.
Lead by a once intelligent man who then suffered from severe self-delusion and cognitive dissonance.
He was the epitome of 'die on this hill'.

TBF this is most organizations nowadays. You've got to drink the kool-aid if you want a successful career.

Watched the film last night - man the sounds of the carbon fibres snapping on some of the earlier dives its like Russian roulette.

The Discovery channel had their own Titan sub documentary a couple of weeks ago which was really good, because their Expedition Unknown show had actually taped an episode on Oceangate years ago, but the host Josh Gates had to call it off. He had to call his boss and say "We can't run this episode, these people are crazy, nothing about this is safe". They showed that taped footage of Gates going on a sub dive where nothing worked and had to be aborted.
