There’s a new documentary out about this disaster. Last night (on SciFi Channel I caught the last hour of this show…it was 2 hours.
The title of the subject line is the title of the show.
This guy Stockton Rush was a good BS artist apparently.
In the final hour that I watch there was a young lady who was an outside contractor hired to do some oversight. On one of the trips the sub took, after being down to Titanic upon rising to the surface but still under water there was a loud noise or bang heard. She brought up her concerns of delamination of the carbon fiber but her concerns were dismissed and was told they’d be addressed at another time. I believe it was dive #80 for that submersible. Apparently, according to her and I’ll paraphrase here, after raising her concerns along with computer graphics/information from sensors on the submarine she was basically the bad guy. She wasn’t a team player. She left the boat before the fatal trip, some 6 dives later.
The part of the show I watched says basically anyone who paid to go on the trips were given a title of “Mission Specialist” and basically helped prepare the sub and do maintenance work for the crew.
I believe this is the trailer for the show;

The title of the show on the
SciFi Network Science Channel is called “Implosion: The Titanic Sub Disaster”.
I looked forward in this week’s programming as see that it is scheduled to air again on Wednesday 6/11 @ 10PM.
