THE TITAN SUBMERSIBLE: THE WARNINGS NOBODY LISTENED TO

Episode 124 | Historical EventsIn this History episode we focus on the OceanGate Titan submersible implosion of June 2023 — the catastrophic failure of a carbon fiber deep-sea vessel carrying five people to the Titanic wreck, whose hull had been showing damage for eight dives before it imploded on its 88th, killing everyone aboard.This episode covers what a submersible is, why carbon fiber is the wrong material for repeated deep-sea pressure cycles, the engineers and marine professionals who warned OceanGate for years and were dismissed or fired, CEO Stockton Rush's public statements dismissing safety culture, and the Coast Guard's 2025 finding that if Rush had survived, the case would have been referred for potential manslaughter charges.The man dismissing the warnings was also on board.#HistoryMystery #TitanSubmersible #OceanGate #Titanic #HistoryPodcast
