Was watching some videos of implosion scenarios of it last night. Crazy. Imploded quicker than a human blinking. Lights out without even knowing for these guys

If the leaked transcript between the sub and mother ship is real than they would have had a very terrifying 18 minutes before it imploded.

If true hopefully Stockton, and the French bloke, who both would have known the severity of the situation, kept their cool so the passengers did as well.

James Cameron here saying that all the carbon fibre was pushed into one of the hemispheres. Presumably the closed end that we never saw being unloaded. Wonder what information he has that would make him say that.

Rush had told him, Cameron said it was not going to be reliable.

Rush’s arrogance and ignorance of multiple warnings from experts cost 4 others their lives

I'm talking about the current condition of the hull after the implosion. Rush definitely hasn't had anything to say on that.

He knows several people in the industry as well as crew on the ship. Someone would have told him

Hearings revealing a bit more about the practices and incidents of the company leading up to the implosion.

Boss of doomed Titan sub who piloted fatal final voyage had crashed before

A key employee who labelled the Titan sub unsafe before its fatal voyage has told an inquiry that the CEO was about 'making money' and had crashed a submarine before

'abomination of a sub​


Titanic company chief 'threw controller at safety director's head after crashing sub
"There was a serious shift within the organisation by summer 2016," he said, adding he was "phased out completely". This came, he said, after he "embarrassed" the company's CEO Stockton Rush by telling him he shouldn't pilot a sub. Rush refused, so Lochridge and three paying passengers then went on board, he told the hearing.

Lochridge claimed Rush drove the sub "smash" into a wreck, but still refused to listen to guidance. "It was an absolute mess," he said, even before Rush turned the submersible 180 degrees and drove it "full speed into the port side of the bow".

The witness said he repeatedly tried to retrieve the controls from Rush, who refused until a paying client shouted at him. Rush then threw the Playstation controller at the right side of Lochridge's head. The former employee was one of the most anticipated witnesses to appear before a commission trying to determine what caused the Titan to implode en route to the wreckage of the Titanic last year.

OceanGate's former engineering director, Tony Nissen, kicked off testimony, telling investigators that he felt pressured to get the vessel ready to dive and refused to pilot it for a journey several years before Titan's last trip.

"'I'm not getting in it,'" Nissen said he told Rush. When asked if there was pressure to get Titan into the water, Nissen responded, "100 per cent."

OceanGate founder said emergency life support was 'complete waste of money'​

Former OceanGate employee David Lochridge recalls an incident with founder Stockton Rush.

He says Mr Rush was showing board members around the workshop, and Mr Lochridge himself was about to start doing an annual inspection of another submersible.

The former marine operations director says he had the emergency life support items out on tables, including food, water and safety equipment.

This equipment allows the crew of a submersible to stay underwater in the event of an emergency for a lengthy period of time, he says.

"That day Stockton was on one, as usual," he says. "He walked past me with all these big wigs and stated 'we're using not any of this in Titan'."

Mr Rush allegedly described the emergency life support as a "complete waste of money".

OceanGate founder would 'fly off the handle' and had 'total disregard for safety'​

Former OceanGate operations director David Lochridge has more criticism for founder Stockton Rush as he describes a meeting where he had raised his own concerns about the Titan sub's safety.
He says he was "dismissed on every single occasion" when bringing up his concerns, and the only director at the company who agreed with him was finance director Bonnie Carl.
His thoughts were dismissed by Mr Rush and engineering director Tony Nissen, he says.
In a meeting, he says Mr Rush told him the submersible "doesn't just implode, it screams like a mother before it implodes".
"For the CEO to say that about the carbon fibre [hull] in front of other people... it's disgusting, appalling, a total disregard for safety," he says.
Mr Lochridge says it appeared Mr Rush and the engineering team "didn't care".
He says he was pushing for pressure test information for the sub's view port but was repeatedly refused.
Asked whether he had been confident Mr Rush would accept his concerns before bringing them up, Mr Lochridge says: "It was naive of me not to think he was going to do something to me for doing this.
"I knew how Stockton would fly off the handle."
