Episode Details

In his first public comments since the OceanGate sub implosion, which saw five people lose their lives on the descent to the Titanic, Patrick Lahey, co-founder of Triton Submarines, reflects on what went wrong – and why he saw it coming. He is joined in the interview by Rob McCallum, co-founder of EYOS Expeditions, who spoke directly to Stockton Rush, CEO of OceanGate, about the dangers of diving in his Titan submersible. The pair remember their friend Paul-Henri Nargeolet, who lost his life in the incident, and discuss why the OceanGate submersible was an accident waiting to happen. Patrick and Rob also stress the importance of third-party certification, and why, when done right, exploring the deep sea is far safer than getting in your car each morning.
