I'll have to watch this when I get time. I love Josh Gates, so that is interesting to see him talking to Stockton.

I've heard Gates's thoughts previously on the subject and that he thought it was an unsafe voyage and wouldn't go again.

I'm a fan of Josh Gates too. JMO I value his thoughts and I'm looking forward to watching this episode.

"The final report on the Titan disaster is expected from the US Coast Guard’s Marine Board of Investigation by the end of June.

McCallum told The Independent he expects it will reveal “a concerted effort by a businessman to work around every single rule in the book to start a business and to make money”. "

It will be interesting to see if they were able to come to a final conclusion about exactly how the Titan submersible imploded. Was it the acrylic port window or the titanium door glued to the carbon fiber hull or was it delamination of the carbon fiber hull itself?

The final report should be interesting to see how the company Oceangate operated and what other information should have warned them that this was a disaster waiting to happen.
