OK fine. You can all have another Oceangate video. As a treat.

The video I promised myself I'd never make.

Luckily for everyone who wants to hear me going on another condescending rant about the Titan, I've had to delay my next video. I don't have enough time to make a decent 'interim video', so here we are. Rather than just summarising the hearings, this video is intended to clear up a few common misconceptions.

Most of the info and visuals are from the USCG hearing which can be found here:
