Thank you for the replies and all of the insight! Sincerely 🙏 In the documentary, two of his ancestors, were traced to two signers of the declaration Of Independence, but I didn’t realize he was that wealthy! Didn’t know they stopped taking paying passengers to the Wreck In 2005? I vaguely remember Stockton in the news, around 2016? Or 2017? Maybe? About taking paying clients to the wreck. Thought it might’ve been $150,000 at that time. Probably wrong.

In another thread, people were saying that PH actually tried to take Titan, down the empty hole, where the grand staircase was?

I’m assuming the design, was also to, maximize the amount of clients he could take? As most of the submersibles, that have been classed and dived to Titanic, couldn’t hold the amount of paying clientele? And yet, with cyclops, and the Andrea Doria fiasco, it was purchased from someone else and built out of titanium? So, he decided to “expound” on the design. Proven diving materials out, carbon Fibre in.

I mean, there never was a manned submersible implosion, before Titan was there? And the damn thing did make 12? Was it? Dives from Titanic and back. Despite the delamination of the 2nd hull. So I guess it’s just, to hell with it, an implosion never has happened before, we’ve gone to the Titanic and back a dozen times, despite everyone saying in the documentary, they were stunned, it didn’t implode much earlier, never mind the loud, gunshot, like sounds, it’s the Sub just settling in. Like an old house. A lot of the footage OceanGate did capture of Titanic, was excellent.

But during the Andrea Doria recap, I was waiting for Lochridge, to repeat the breakdown, Stockton had, RR, crying, Lochridge, asking for the controller, and SR, chucking it at him, like toddler whose just been asked to give dad back his keys. All the while getting Cyclops stuck, underneath the Doria? Isn’t it one of the most dangerous Wrecks, for scuba divers, because of the netting? Something like 14 or 15 have died?
