#NBCNews #Titanic #Submersible
How did they find the accident site? Rover?
They probably heard the snapping and crackling sounds as the pressure hull was failing. They had time to ditch the weights. Then boom, it imploded. How absolutely terrifying. 😮
I was given the impression that the vessel imploded and shredded to nothing. I am confused by the new discovery
You were not given that impression. You were told the submersible consisted of a front titanium section with viewport and a rear titanium section. In between was the fragile carbon-fiber pressure vessel. THAT part imploded.
“Presumed human remains” means they have a bucket of sludge that may or may not be what’s left of the five guys 😬
My god.. 2 mins.. he’s blinked more than i have in my entire life! what is that like 10 blinks a second!? you could trigger red stop lights to green you blink so fast.. no need for an emergency emitter. just have him sit in the passenger seat at any red light!THey should replace presidential advisor BLINKIN with this man! he fits the name perfectly. Im afraid hes having some sort of seizure.. someone turn off the lights or get him some eye drops!
You know he just might be signaling MORSE CODE with his eye lids.. smart man. Hes telling his wife to have the lasagna done by 3:15pm and not to burn it this time! all with his eye lids 🙂 wish i coud decipher Morse code
CEO talked a big game, but it looks like he couldn’t handle the pressure.
Imploded like a tin can bs! And they did find remains told you so! They died after the taping sounds but rescue didnt search under ñere the titanic so covered it up!
Just awful 😞
Shocking that they now tell us of human remains when they told us nothing would be left after the massive implosion! Experts know nothing it appears and media lies too….well, thats a surprise!
No black box…
The Titan submersible debris is mere table scraps. I am orders of magnitude impressed by the Glomar Explorer and the Soviet submarine K-129 lift.

I don’t see an implosion…
Looks like it remained pretty much intact, suprisingly. I assume this is the carbon fiber hull at 0:42. I suppose there may be substantial remains if they were basically encapsulated in that hull, which seems to be in once piece, but crumpled.
That’s part of the tail where all the electronics were, not the pressure hull.
Taco Bell probably calling dibs
They have gone on their last adventure I am sad for the loss of life , but understand the spirit of pushing limits to see a marvel of history .😥👵❤
With all the knowledge and forewarning it’s as though Stockton had a death wish. It was suicide.
Stockton Rush couldn’t afford rolls of interwoven carbon fiber material, so he skipped the interweaving process of making the material and took the raw strands of carbon fiber and wrapped it around the pressure cylinder like a spool of thread , adding epoxy. Cross- interweaving the fibers is the most important process to achieve strength, similar to cross-interweaving threads to make a piece of fabric. It’s in the video of the Titan’s manufacturing process.
🗣️🗣️🗣️THEY ARE LIAR’S……..I don’t think ANY PARTS were recovered😮 One minute they say THEY MELTED 😭🫕 NOW THEY FOUND REMAINS 😮 THEY ARE LIAR’S SMH
They’re his THUMBS…. Stuck to that knock off playstation controller….
In all likelihood the “presumed human remains” are bone fragments or bone. At that depth, water temperature & after nearly 10 days no soft tissue would be left.
I apologize for being graphic but it is necessary to explain. In the last several years there has been a breakthrough in understanding what happens to human remains at certain depths & water temperatures.
It was long assumed that warmer water temperature and at shallower depths decomposition would occur faster. However in an experiment that took place in Spring then again in the Fall pig carcasses (they have similar traits that align with human remains) were placed at 1000 feet in the Atlantic. In the warmer season the carcasses were just bone in 4 days. In the cooler season just 3. Completely proving wrong the assumption science had long believed
There are so many organisms different kinds of marine life & greater depths where the Titan went down that anything resembling human would be bone. Plus the nature of the implosion would have been so violent bodies were torn apart. It doesn’t appear any large pieces of carbon fiber were retrieved nor was the port hole glass intact essentially establishing one of those two sources lost structural integrity causing the entire incident.
Lastly regardless if a person is alive or a corpse crush depth for the exposed human body is around 1200 feet so if the remains happened to remain intact after the implosion the bodies would have imploded on their own at that depth.
Yeaaaaaaa.
Humans remains or chunks of organic matter?
Maybe a few bone shards got in bedded?
Is it an accident, when there is only one option?
There is only one Titan in the world. There are already known reason for this failed mission.
What is the reason to justify this massive salvage of the wreckage?? Just to reiterate failed carbon material, failed mission & failed adventurers. And again informing the public that implosion occurred?? People already bombarded with implosion in Youtube,
What a waste of American taxpayers money!! There are more real living poor in the streets needed these money for medical & living expenses.
I haven’t heard why the “mother ship” on the surface waited 10 hours before reporting them missing?????
Ceo is completely to blame
Never realized how many carbon fiber experts were on YouTube!
By human remains they don’t mean bodies dipsht, they mean LITERAL mush, biological slime that was once a human.
Aren’t those relatively big pieces of intact debris / sub remains, considering such a catastrophic implosion as described??? 👀
“Intact debris?” Debris is literally the opposite of intact. It’s because you don’t know how an underwater implosion works. The implosion only occurred in the air filled space where the crew was. Anything else outside of that space still suffered damage but can withstand an implosion especially if solid. What you seen here is “solid” steel domes, battery and cable unit which was housed separately, and a panel. What you don’t see here is the crew compartment where the implosion occurred. I don’t understand how you obviously see these are pieces of the submersible. How is this not catastrophic considering again, loss of life, little to no human remains, submersible is in pieces etc?
Thanks, got it now ✔️
I hope it isn’t actually human remains because that would indicate the passengers are sadly deceased and end any chances of them being rescued.
The saddest part is if they all signed a waver the company can’t be held accountable
And took the money and ran…
Looks like the nose was intact meaning the implosion took place in the hull.
You all are clueless,whether it exploded imploded or even just fell apart at that depth just the water pressure would disentigrate a body into nothing more than meat juice ..have you ever seen what happens to a marshmallow in a vacume tube ..now multiply that by millions ..
It would mean that they didn’t get that deep. and they may have known some thing was wrong tried to come back up.
I think people’s assumption of what an implosion looks like with this type of container, the water temperature and the pressure of the water on all axis of all mass is incorrect
I think an implosion under these circumstances would simply smash everything closer together that does fall apart. Identifiable parts could exist because once water breached the vessel, human matter would start to sort of freeze and be a bit preserved. Minus the air pockets inside the body exploding out of random parts of the body violently
People assume theres explosions 💥 like we see in movies but im not sure submersibles carry much flammable fuel if any at all.
The gases within the vessel and inside the humans would have been compressed into a plasma within a nanosecond. To a temperature hotter than the surface of the sun. Any remains would doubtful.
@John King oh I see 🤔 thank you
The reason you people don’t understand why “some” of the debris aren’t crushed is because you don’t understand how an underwater implosion works. What you’re seeing are debris which can survive imploding. The electrical wiring and batteries were housed separately so they wouldn’t have been affected much. The implosion occurred internally where the crew was. You’re not seeing the submersible intact. It’s in pieces. To have an implosion you need air and an open compartment. Anything solid like the steel domes, battery unit, cables, external structure can withstand. As well, an implosion is not a black hole leaving nothing behind. Do you also know what the word catastrophe means? Your misunderstanding of what you don’t know is not false facts or misinformation.
Gotta love titanium, still intact.
The recovery mission was led by Canadian ship Horizon Arctic, which carried a remotely operated vehicle operated by Pelagic Research Services – not the US Coast Guard.
My heart goes out to the families of those lost in this avoidable tragedy .. This is a good example of those who have more dollar$ than sense ..
Remains? They were evaporated. I smell lies.
The real moral of the Titan sub story is that machines do not care about skin colour, gender and diversity. Just ask Stockton Rush 😅
Looked the titanium, wasn’t damaged. The whole fuselage should’ve been made out of that.
The porthole on the titanium front section is missing, it was only certified for 2,500 ft, I wonder if that’s what failed?
Wouldn’t the wires and metal look a little more damaged after an implosion + being under water for a week??? 0:45
Rush’s smugness and arrogance killed his passengers and himself. He was the text book example of the Dunning-Kruger effect in action. It is so regretful that his Dunning-Kruger symptoms took the lives of the passengers.
Rest in peace to all that were onboard the Titan.
This dude is blinking unnaturally…
😪😪😪😪😪
Anyone notice 😮 that the lift strap was run through, in the hole where the front view port WAS located 😰
That titanium bell cap is pretty heavy (even though I know titanium is very light ) How did they get it up from that depth?
The way these people passed away is so horrific
aircraft crash is worse. burning to death in a fire, drowning, slow death by cancer…this, not horrific, instant lights out…
The fact that they paid 250k to do so is incredible.
Was he vaccinated?
Call me crazy but I’m still holding out hope that they’ll be found alive.
Ya in a 🐋 belly…I hope so
IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT!
I think it should have been treated as a gravesite and left alone because it was obvious what happened, and bringing up the wreckage isn’t going to change anything.
Oceangate should be barred from all business activities in every country. They need to be held accountable for their actions and the money they collected from these expeditions should be immediately returned to the families. Or at least used to compensate the many Men and Women who were and continue to be part of the recovery and investigation.
Agree 100%.
Probably just bones, but at least the families will have them to mourn them. R.I.P.
And giving the debris from that “thing”… yes, implosion is what it seems that happened: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oPJISUHY1kU
Has this colorful Logitech controller 🎮 of Titan already been found and auctioned on eBay already? 🤔
_protect the unborn from the meatgrinder of samsara
Seeing how intact many of the submersible pieces are, its not surprising that human remains are found.
They should be able to recover some bone. Soft tissue is probably pulverized from the pressure.
RIP
All this could have been avoided if the CEO valued safety over money. Now he is gone and he took 4 innocent lives with him
Looks like that under rated front view port blew up!.Judt like the company guy said.
All I hear is excuses after excuse. It should have been safety inspection by the people that do that. Even tho it’s in internal waters. That should not been a problem what so ever All that’s everyone is doing is making excuses after excuses these
the remains of the billionaire titans
What bothers me about this story is the blame being placed mainly on the company and how it was not certified or regulated. That man had been working on that for a few years and NO ONE stopped anything during that time. There’s even video of people getting inside of it to go under the water. Why? Because it was about money and a lot of investors gave their rich funds to help build this company and what he was doing. No regulations or certifications because rich people paid things off so they can do what they want to do. It’s the same capitalist story of America and the rich that make the rules. But now that those rich people died who likely were investors (which explains the CEO going as well), those associated with the company want to “jump ship” and place blame. They knew all along that stuff wasn’t checked or regulated as it should be because they would have been told “no”. Just like cryptocurrency. The rich do what they want, make rules as they want, bend rules when they want, and then try to place blame when things don’t go right. Not this time. They’re paying for it this time.
The Titan submersible story is a detour / a mis-direct from the truly important events occurring today.
Certainly a Catastrophic IMPLOSION with 5 fatalities. In my opinion, clearly not a Catastrophic EVENT.
A nuclear EXPLOSION is more Catastrophic. A nuclear EXPLOSION + 200 K fatalities eguals a Catastrophic EVENT.
The state of the Republican and Democratic parties is today’s REAL CATASTROPHIC EVENT. TV News people and journalists please track the truly significant ¿¿news??. Provide facts and not idle speculations.
¡¡AGAIN!! The Titan submersible story is a detour / a mis-direct from the truly important events occurring today.
I assume they will have to do dna testing to figure out who the remains belong to. At least one family will have something to bury.
I really want to know where was the failure point. Like, was it the porthole? But we may never know. They don’t even have all of the wreckage.
>>>>>>>> Increase Your Satisfaction By Understanding Your Existence … sea rch EXISTNC
None of this makes any sense at all: youtube experts please explain what is your theory of what happened here? Comments below please thanks?
They found a hand holding a game controller, and another hand holding a Rubik’s Cube
why is this being funded by tax payer dollars? I hope the rich families are going to reimburse the governemnt for the cost
Why are the tax payer s paying for this?
The idiots paid over a quarter of a million to go down there to die. Let the families of the billionaires pay to receive their remains.
Well… I’m not scientist…. but I would strongly say it was the window…. as it was only truly rated for 1300 meters… A shame a company like this exist. Rip to everyone involved!
God let Your Will Be Done in everything continuously in Jesus name Amen 🙏
Any body remains ?
why would you ask IF this should be regulated???? You’re endangering everyone’s life for no reason. Make sense. Don’t embark on the venture if you are not willing to do all that is required for it to happen
What about the 700 people that lost their lives on a ship the media and the news dont even mention it
Serious question….. Would you have went on the Titan if you were given the chance?
No crappy comments, just a yes or no. If you want to say more that’s fine.
Yes I would have went. I think those that had the chance & survived will never regret that trip.
Why are the sub’s pieces all covered up?
OceanGate Expeditions is still advertising trips to the Titanic shipwreck on its website — more than 10 days after its submersible imploded on its deep-sea journey to the wreckage, killing all five aboard.
The undersea exploration company lists two missions to the Titanic in 2024 – from June 12-20 and June 21-29 – at a cost of $250,000 per person, according to the site.
*A Canadian Survey vessel and its ROV* fixed it …
Nope sorry too big it was just a piece of sand
Investigate what? & why??
Carbon fiber???
They were stupid.
Rich people problems. If a boat with 50 Cubans sank off of Florida, I can assure you the resources committed would be 1% of the money wasted on this exercise.
Intresting how the titan pieces were quite huge and the metal was not bended it must have imploded in its early stages of dive.
You cant be Naive and a deep sea diver too. Not ever gonna work out. Stockton really was playing Russian Roulette with everyones lives to continue his addiction to Titanic
How did they got there to bring those parts? Did they find bodies yet?
2:30
Once you notice how much this guy blinks, you can’t un-notice it.
Quick run hurry up and cover it with a tarp, can’t let anyone see what they want to
Keep politics out of this. This doesn’t need control they knew what they were doing. Don’t hold back innovation. Enough rules for everything stop trying to save dumb people
Who pays the bill for this recovery now do US taxpayers get to pay this millions of dollars of recovery fees also?
What color is the slime?
Im surprised it was in bigger chunks than the assumed ! I pray they didn’t suffer ! 🙏🏾
REMAINS? THAT SHOULD BE MINCED MEAT AT MOST
No wayy
Fitty pounds of hamburger recovered.
Rich stupid people should enjoy the beach not crap like this it’s their own fault.
Don’t listen to a word this leftist liberal liar is talking about, nbc have lost all credibility because they been caught lie after lie.
