"TITAN" Documentary on Netflix

dunno. If he stayed home, would he have inherited his dad's (more than a) BILLION dollars?

IIRC, he didn't want to go, dad forced him.

As I said earlier, he didn't have a "choice."

It looked good until the JB Weld came out and was used to glue the titanium end caps on the carbon fiber cylinder.

whatever plane of existence he is on now, don't you know he's thinking, "well, that sucked "?

GF is an engineer at a carbon fiber air/space manufacturer so I'm keen to ask her opinions on Stockton's (and Oceangate's) "culture" and how that likely caused the failure.

Reckless is what I read. Ignoring lots of more mainstream scientists and engineers that warned about carbon fiber fatigue...

Also a lack of backup to the video game controller. They had an episode with a journalist that had to abort the full dive and be pulled to the surface and then wait to be unbolted to get out after the oxygen scrubbers and controls stopped working.

Lots also pointed out the carbon fiber and titanium compress at different rates and would provide a potential fail point.

The acoustic warning monitoring systems they IGNORED floor me. I'm in a vessel under pressure and I hear loud popping noises? Take me to the damned surface NOW! LOL.

That right there... being bolted in from the outside... would have been what I'd call "a clue" to the whole thing being a REALLY BAD IDEA.

Watching it right now, it sucks. Remember when documentaries were just the facts instead of a long line of opinionated interviews?

Facts from who? Opinions from old white guy engineers? I'll take the opinions.

I'm watching a couple white guy engineers, crew members feelings and a long line of tv interview fluff. It sucks, they could've cut half of the fluff out and made a good doc
