Did Dive 87 Doom the Titan?
Solar Eclipse Timer
View ChannelAbout
Science and technology are the focus of my channel. I enjoy many topics. Being an accomplished amateur astronomer, my special interest is teaching about total solar eclipses. It is based on my experience of observing 6 total solar eclipses in different parts of the world.. Helping people learn how to observe, enjoy, and photograph a total solar eclipse is my passion. My app called Solar Eclipse Timer, the original eclipse "talking" timer app helped thousands of people get guided you through the two eclipses that crossed over the United States. The next couple of decades of solar eclipse will require international travel. I've authored the BEST solar eclipse book available in an electronic format. The e-book is called "Eclipse Day - 2024 and More! How to Enjoy, Observe, and Photograph A Total Solar Eclipse" Visit https://www.solareclipsetimer.com/

Video Description
If the Titan story fascinates you - https://titandives.com/ - consider getting my book. The Discovery and Netflix films were "docu-dramas" that beat on Stockton but left out all the details about the second hull and why it was destined to fail. My book fills in all the blanks for you. https://titandives.com/ In this video, I tell a detailed story about the OceanGate Titan Dive 87 and the trauma experienced by the Titan. It is based on testimony by Dan and Courtney Kroymann, mission specialists on dive 87. The Titan took a beating, and Stockton was unconcerned. I now believe the incident on dive 87 contributed to the implosion on the next dive, dive 88. Mrs. Kroymann had a degree in oceanography, in which she studied deep ocean sediments. She did not really care about the Titanic; she just wanted to get to the ocean bottom, which is why they were okay with diving on the continental shelf.
