(Transcript) "Oceangate Expedition lost communication with its deep diving
5-person submarine on June 18th 2023 while transiting submerged to the
Titanic wreck site. 5 people onboard were: Stockton Rush, PH Nargeolet,
Shahzada Dawood, Suleman Dawood, and Hamish Harding.
In this video I (Sub Brief: Aaron Amick) describe the incident in detail.
I review the construction, design and system onboard the Titan. I catalog
my concerns about the design and operation of this submarine. This video
is my personal opinion with the limited information available to me at the
time of this recording. A follow up video will be published when more
facts from the investigation surface.
Titan is a Cyclops-class manned submersible designed to take five people
to depths of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) for site survey and inspection,
research and data collection, film and media production, and deep sea
testing of hardware and software. Through the innovative use of modern
materials, Titan is lighter in weight and more cost efficient to mobilize
than any other deep diving submersible. A combination of ground-breaking
engineering and off-the-shelf technology gives Titan a unique advantage
over other deep diving subs; the proprietary Real Time Hull Health
Monitoring (RTM) systems provides an unparalleled safety feature that
assesses the integrity of the hull throughout every dive. The use
off-the-shelf components helped to streamline the construction, and makes
it simple to operate and replace parts in the field.
Paired with a patented, integrated launch and recovery platform, Titan is
easy to operate in varying sea states using a local appropriately sized
ship for the project. In coastal waters this means we do not need a large
support ship with a crane or A-frame.
Sourced from Oceangate.com and Teledyne interviews with the CEO Stockton
Rush. This video is intended to provide my opinion on this event
with the information available to me at the time of recording."
