I mean he had enough money to charter a sub and see the sub he actually went on record at an interview and saying that the first trip to the Titanic he didn't even bother looking out the window this wasn't and I don't think it was about making money uh the way that ... said also that entire business plan is completely bonkers the industry of oil and gas and military uh completely move to rovs like the one that you release the footage retrieving the wreckage uh they don't need five-man vehicles for those kind of applications they've got this already figured out with remotely operated vehicles Stockton's entire business plan made zero cense but I think these wealthy individuals probably from the Bohemian Club probably on his board of directors threw money at him and he was painted into a corner and I think lowering that thing on a fishing line he was looking for an out he probably hoped the fishing line broke why would you not even use a decent rope and he how how do you tell all these people that invested ... gave me a number of 100 million of investment how do you you tell people their hundred million is gone and your business plan was a terrible idea and isn't working out and I think that's why he kept diving and he knew that eventually it was going to end like this and he wasn't going to be held accountable but he was going to be the most famous of all his famous relatives." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4sHdLICwKM&t=35s More: visualisation of the sub's implosion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c0-PFdaJrrw&t=81s More: the moment that the implosion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titan_submersible_implosion was heard: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZCdBFwekcg&t=66s More: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOhwNOFkbVk Bibliography: Helmore, E.
