Oceangate Titan | Analysis of an Insultingly Predictable Failure

A preview of a world where 'regulation does not stifle innovation'. I wanted to clear up some points that have been widely misreported whilst discussing how mechanical failures of subsea vessels have been avoided for decades until now.

This video could have been hours long if I spoke about everything in length, so consider it a brief summary.


I speak in present tense during the video, but it was made public that the crew are deceased as the video was rendering. Despite the remarkable predictability of this failure, the families of the victims have my sympathy.
