Titan: Le naufrage d'OceanGate

I am sorry the submersible didn't implode when Rush was in it alone. He's obviously 100% responsible for the deaths of the customers. Despicable character.

I'm proud of the people who quit the company and spoke out. We are responsible for speaking up when people of authority overstep their bounds.

It was very nice to get the backstory of this catastrophe and see that it was entirely preventable if not for the arrogance of Stockton Rush. It's also interesting to see how he replaces the strong people with the yes men and yes women. I hope this is a cautionary tale to prevent this from happening again.

The arrogance of Rush to believe his own hype, and refuses to listen to anyone regarding safety is incomprehensible. He literally took what amounted to tin can into the water and killed 4 people because of his arrogance. Refusing to get it certified so there could be oversight was the height of arrogance. Refusing to register it under any country especially the USA because he knew they would have oversight was sheer arrogance. I'm sorry for the people who died because they had no chance because he believed his own hype. Do you think there was a reason his own wife would not go on any dives with him??? Too bad it didn't implode when he was on it alone.

This was a decent documentary that focused mostly on the events leading up to the disaster and on the people within the company. The main event is hardly talked about which was disappointing. The events leading up to it are somewhat interesting and I really liked David Lochridge, the guy tried everything he could but unfortunately, everything and everyone was against him. This documentary is more for behind the scenes of the company but there's another documentary from Discovery that covers the implosion itself better and has interviews with the investigators themselves which I did like better though it is a bit more dramatic than the Netflix one. Overall, it's fine but I think the ending might disappoint a bit.

I enjoyed watching this documentary but the longer I watched, the more I got annoyed with Stockton Rush. There is zero doubt that his is the sole cause of those people loosing their lives. He let his Ego outweigh his common sense(if he even had any). He was an example of someone who is rich that would leverage his wealth and connections to get what he wanted or he would ruin someone's life if he didn't. He should have been the only one on that Sub when it imploded. There were problems all along the way and he kept ignoring them and wanting to push forward. If someone didn't agree with him he would blame them for something and then fire them.

Netflix loves to take their time but thankfully this is a self contained documentary. They got key people involved in Oceangate to talk and do a good job covering the tragedy for the most part. When compared to Discovery's 'Implosion' TV-like documentary it is more cinematic, less melodramatic and presents actual data in an entertaining manner. Unfortunately it just suddenly stops. It shows a Youtuber testimonial then cuts to the conclusion bypassing all the drama of the crew on-board, the botched rescue operation and subsequent media circus. Somehow the inferior Discovery doc has a better closure and a exclusive key piece of footage missing here.
