It is interesting to see the Discovery and Netflix docs both hit before the final Coast Guard report. And I do wonder how the change of leadership may affect things.

And yeah, watching the documentaries, it is so much worse than you thought. Taken together, they do provide a good picture, though the Netflix one is a bit better for the overall history, and the Discovery one is a bit more focused directly on the Titan sub itself. Which dear god, I would not get in even it it were safe. Though Iaugh, because the Discovery doc just had to get in some cross promotion in there.

And neither covers what seems to anger James Cameron the most.



It is fascinating to listen to him talk about it, because he is clearly very smart.

Tragic OceanGate Titan submersible’s $62 SanDisk memory card found undamaged at wreckage site — 12 stills and nine videos have been recovered, but none from the fateful implosion

The specialist camera was rated to 6,000m, but the lens and some of its components were probably damaged by the implosion.
