The Unknown Engineer: Exclusive Interview - OceanGate TITAN Investigation Part 7 with Bruce Morton

In this episode of our OceanGate Titan series, we delve into an eye-opening 2021 interview with Bruce Morton, an electrical engineer who played a significant role in designing the Titan submersible. This footage, originally from the Unfiltered Historians YouTube channel, provides a rare glimpse into the construction and testing of the sub that tragically imploded during its Titanic expedition.

Bruce Morton, known for designing cell phones and barcode scanners, shares his experiences working on the Titan—his first deep submergence vehicle project. He discusses how it was designed, built, and tested, offering alarming and controversial insights into the process. Morton also addresses OceanGate’s use of the term "mission specialists," explaining how this loophole was used to conduct Titanic dives with paying passengers.

Why wasn’t Bruce Morton interviewed during the September hearings? Could this be the smoking gun in understanding what went wrong with the Titan? Tune in to hear his firsthand account and decide for yourself.
