Ep. 296 – Christopher & Eric’s True Crime TV Club Serves Up “Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster”

Back To Fools Month begins with the most dangerous type — a murderously irresponsible and privileged fool. Like so many of you, Christopher and Eric were riveted by this tale of hubris and catastrophe when it first broke across the world stage. The Titan submersible sounded like it could barely survive a dip in a duck pond. How could so many supposedly intelligent people send this glorified tin can to the dark ocean depths? The answers are chilling, as the Netflix documentary TITAN: THE OCEANGATE SUBMERSIBLE DISASTER makes clear. A stunning abuse of wealth and power and one spoiled billionaire's desire to be a "big swinging" you know what conspired to send five people to a dark and watery grave.  But the real crime on display is the same brand of disdain and disregard for sound scientific principles that's currently crippling parts of our federal government.
