Titan: The OceanGate Disaster

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.

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.

I actually enjoyed watching the Titan documentary. Overall it wasn't bad. The production quality was good, and the interviews and footage were interesting. However, I went into it expecting a much more detailed explanation of what exactly happened on that tragic day. I kept waiting for a deeper dive into technical aspects and potential causes behind the incident (for that specific day). Only a brief 3-minute was dedicated at the very end to the actual events of that day leaving many critical questions unanswered. If the investigation is still ongoing and no conclusive information is available yet, I personally believe it would have been more appropriate to release such a documentary after the findings were complete. That way, viewers could gain real insight into the incident even through simulations or expert reconstructions of what have occurred.

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.

This documentary provides deep insight into the OceanGate accident, including information previously unknown to the public and revealing connections to Stockton Rush.

Personally, I would have preferred a slightly longer and more detailed documentary, but overall, it's still a strong watch.

It becomes clear that everything was wrong design of Titan and designed around the CEO's decisions - and that he bears the ultimate responsibility. He comes across as an arrogant figure.

As someone working in IT as a software QA, I understand how crucial quality assurance and testing are.

Throughout the documentary, despite clear risks associated with Titan's dive to the ocean floor, these dangers are not taken seriously. Warnings are ignored, discussions continue, and the tragic result seems inevitable.

The dismissal of key engineers further reinforces the recklessness of the approach.

In the end, the documentary firmly places the blame on Stockton Rush - and rightly so.
