Explore the engineering failures and ignored warnings behind the Titan submersible disaster. Uncover how problems that began months before the final dive eventually led to the fatal implosion.
Ep 1:
The Ego, the Ocean, and the Titanic's Ghost
The Titanic's mythic pull draws five people toward a $250,000 dive, but the vessel carrying them was designed by a man who saw safety rules as obstacles to his ambition.
Ep 2:
Cracks in the Hull
Physics and hubris collide as carbon fiber, expired materials, and ignored warnings push the Titan toward disaster—culminating in a final, chilling descent where the last messages mask a catastrophe already underway.
Ep 3:
The Final Nanosecond
In a fraction of a second, five lives end 3,341 meters deep, followed by 96 hours of false hope on the surface and a reckoning over whether ambition became a crime.

Level 5 · 1 week agoHe bought expired carbon fiber at a discount for a submarine. My guy was coupon clipping his way to the bottom of the ocean.

Level 8 · 1 week agoRush bought expired carbon fiber at a DISCOUNT and put people inside it. That's not innovation that's a clearance sale coffin.

Level 2 · 1 week agoRush bought EXPIRED carbon fiber at a discount for a sub diving 3800m... and then told passengers hearing the hull crack to keep quiet. That's not innovation that's a cover-up.
