Netflix: "Titan- The Oceangate Disaster"

This is a story where you already know the outcome- that five people died in an implosion at the bottom of the ocean where they were trying to see the wreck of the Titanic.

So the story is really about the hubris of CEO Stockton Rush, who kept pushing the project until he was ready to implement it. Five people died. Numerous people thought it was unsafe. Its an interesting watch.

So many quit or were fired. There isn't enough money in the world to get me to try something like that. Sure, it's cool. But it doesn't seem like we know how to create materials to withstand that kind of pressure yet.
