Former OceanGate employees slam Titan sub disaster company CEO in new doc: ‘Borderline clinical psychopath'
A damning new documentary condemns Stockton Rush, the founder and CEO of OceanGate, the defunct company whose Titan submersible imploded in the Atlantic Ocean June 2023. Former employees allege in 'Titan: The OceanGate Disaster' on Netflix that their boss' self-absorption and consistent willful negligence tragically led to the death of the five passengers, including Rush — a news story that captured the entire world's attention for days. 'I worked for somebody that is probably [a] borderline clinical psychopath,' said former OceanGate engineer Tony Nissen. 6 The late OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush is ripped by former employees in 'TItan: The OceanGate Disaster.' Courtesy of Netflix 'He wanted to be a Jeff Bezos or Elon Musk,' said Bonnie Carl, director of finance and administration, in the doc. 'He referred to those guys as 'big swingin' dicks,' and he loved that term and used it all the time.' Engineering project manager Emily Hammermeister added that repeatedly expressed safety concerns by workers with years of expertise fell on deaf ears and Rush's tunnel vision. 'Stockton was just so set on getting to the Titanic that nothing that anybody said made much of a difference,' she said. Rush was a wealthy California-born engineer who loved 'Star Wars' and 'Star Trek.' He co-founded OceanGate in 2009 with the goal of bringing deep sea exploration to the public — especially dives to the Titanic. In pursuit of his pipe dream, he decided to create the first submersible made from carbon fiber, a strong and cheap material consisting of many small strands. 'It's not like metal,' said Wired journalist Mark Harris, who profiled Rush. 'You know, titanium is extremely well understood. Carbon fiber is far more idiosyncratic in that the little fibers inside there can snap.' 6 Rush aimed to take paying passengers down to the Titanic in cheaply made submerssibles. Courtesy of Netflix Knowing the risks, OceanGate engineers built sensors into the hull — a series of small microphones — to alert people in the sub if there were breaches to the carbon fiber so they could quickly surface. In theory. 'The monitoring system for the hull was something that was dreamt up by OceanGate to try and give some comfort to people who were asking too many questions,' said submersible operations expert Rob McCallum. The film terrifyingly shows years of pressure tests conducted on the sub in which the hull cracked and the vehicle imploded. 'Pop' noises of breaks are loud and frequent — portending the loss of life that was to come. 6 Titan's hull was made of carbon fiber. Courtesy of Brian Weed 'I just can't believe it,' Rush angrily reacted during a trial five years before their first dive. 'We couldn't even get past f–king 4,300 PSI.' Eventually, Titan successfully reached the Titanic — in spite of persistent safety issues. 'It was a mathematical certainty that it would fail,' said McCallum. 'So, having a dive or two or 10 to the Titanic is not a measure of success. And personally I will never understand how it survived the first test dives.' 6 Rush routinely dismissed his experts' safety concerns. Courtesy of Netflix Lochridge emailed Rush and others a safety report in 2018, and was called into a contentious meeting the next day. Rush recorded the interaction. 'I don't want anybody in this company who is uncomfortable with what we're doing,' said an irate Rush. 'We're doing weird s–t here, and I am definitely out of the mold. There's no question. I'm doing things that are completely non-standard. And I'm sure the industry thinks I'm a f–king idiot. That's fine. They've been doing that for eight years. And I'm going to continue on the way I'm doing, but I'm not going to force people to join my religion if they don't want to.' Reacting to Lochridge's report, an angry Rush told Nissen, his engineer, that 'it would be nothing for him to spend $50,000 to ruin somebody's life.' 'That changed my life in that company,' said Nissen. 'I had to make sure nobody spoke up.' 6 Courtesy of Netflix Nissen, Lochridge, Hammermeister and Carl went on to all leave the troubling company. Carl was pushed over the edge when Rush brazenly suggested she assume the role of lead pilot. 'Are you nuts? I'm an accountant,' she remembered thinking. On June 18, 2023, one hour and 33 minutes into a dive, the Titan lost communication with the surface. A four-day search ensued and voracious news outlets displayed countdown clocks of when the sub would run out of oxygen. Debris was finally discovered on June 22. The Titan had actually imploded the same day it ceased pinging. The passengers — Rush, Hamish Harding, Paul-Henri Nargeolet, Suleman Dawood and Shahzada Dawood — all died. Hammermeister still feels shaken up by her association with OceanGate. 6 The five passengers aboard the Titan all died on June 18, 2023. AP 'I've reflected a lot on my time there,' she said. 'And my time there was not normal. I mean, I think back to the times where I was part of dives that happened. And thinking back how uncomfortable I felt bolting people into the sub. And so when that initial news article popped up and it said 'Tourist sub lost in the Atlantic,' I knew right away it was OceanGate.' Lochridge said the tragedy was a result of Rush's narcissism. 'He wanted fame,' he said. 'First and foremost to fuel his ego, fame. That was what he wanted. And he's got it.'

The Future of Television: Understanding IPTV and Its Grow
In the rapidly evolving digital age, how we consume content has changed dramatically. Traditional cable and satellite TV services are slowly becoming obsolete as new, internet-based solutions emerge. Among these innovations, IPTV—short for Internet Protocol Television—has become a revolutionary force in home entertainment. Offering greater flexibility, better customization, and often a more cost-effective alternative to conventional services, IPTV is transforming how we access and enjoy media. From live TV streaming to video-on-demand (VOD) and time-shifted media, IPTV caters to a modern audience that craves instant, high-quality entertainment at their fingertips. In this article, we will explore what IPTV is, how it works, its advantages and disadvantages, and why it's becoming a dominant force in the world of digital entertainment. Internet Protocol Television (IPTV) is a system where television services are delivered using the Internet protocol suite over a packet-switched network such as the internet, instead of being delivered through traditional terrestrial, satellite signal, and cable television formats. Unlike downloaded media, IPTV offers the ability to stream the source media continuously. As a result, a client media player can begin playing the content (such as a TV channel) almost immediately. This makes IPTV a preferred option for many users looking for flexibility and convenience. IPTV works by transmitting television content over internet protocol (IP) networks. This process differs from traditional broadcast formats which use cable or satellite. Here's a simplified breakdown of how IPTV works: Content Acquisition: IPTV providers gather content from different sources, including live television feeds, on-demand libraries, and recorded broadcasts. Encoding and Compression: To transmit the content efficiently, it's encoded and compressed using video codecs such as H.264 or H.265. Streaming Servers: Once encoded, the content is sent to streaming servers that distribute it through the internet to users. Delivery to End Users: Users access the content via IPTV-compatible devices such as Smart TVs, computers, smartphones, tablets, or set-top boxes. A stable internet connection is essential to ensure smooth playback. IPTV encompasses a wide range of services, but the main categories include: This is similar to traditional broadcast TV where viewers watch programs in real time as they are being broadcast. IPTV offers live channels from across the world, often with better quality and more selection than traditional cable services. With VOD, users can select and watch video content whenever they choose, similar to platforms like Netflix or Hulu. IPTV VOD libraries are extensive, offering movies, TV shows, documentaries, and more. This allows users to watch live broadcasts later, essentially 'catching up' on shows they missed. Some services offer DVR-like features so users can pause, rewind, or fast-forward through content. IPTV can be accessed from almost any device with an internet connection. Whether on a smart TV, smartphone, or laptop, users can watch their favorite content wherever they are. Unlike traditional services, IPTV providers can offer international channels and niche content that isn't usually available via cable or satellite TV. Many IPTV services let users pick and choose their content or subscribe to specific genres. This contrasts sharply with cable packages that often force users to pay for unwanted channels. IPTV often offers superior picture quality, including HD and 4K streams, depending on the provider and the user's internet speed. IPTV is generally more affordable than traditional cable or satellite services. With no need for infrastructure like satellite dishes or extensive cabling, providers can offer competitive pricing. Despite its many advantages, IPTV does have some drawbacks: A stable, high-speed internet connection is essential for a seamless IPTV experience. Buffering and lag can occur with poor connectivity. Some IPTV services operate in a gray legal area, especially those offering premium content without proper licensing. Users should be cautious and choose reputable services. Since IPTV relies on the internet, it is susceptible to disruptions caused by server issues, high traffic, or cyber attacks. Some IPTV services may require specific apps or devices, making them less accessible for non-tech-savvy users. Feature IPTV Traditional TV Delivery Method Internet Satellite/Cable Content Availability On-Demand, Live, Time-Shifted Scheduled Broadcasts Device Flexibility Any IP-enabled Device TV Only Channel Selection Customizable Fixed Bundles Cost Lower, More Competitive Often Higher, Less Flexible Installation Simple Requires Technician/Equipment Picture Quality HD, 4K (depending on internet) Limited by Broadcast Quality IPTV is legal as a technology and service model. However, its legality depends on how the content is sourced and distributed. Legitimate IPTV services like Sling TV, Hulu Live, and YouTube TV obtain proper licenses and distribute content legally. On the other hand, some illicit services stream copyrighted content without authorization, posing legal risks for users and providers alike. To avoid legal complications, it is advisable to choose reputable IPTV providers that operate within the boundaries of copyright laws. Look for services with transparent content sources and customer reviews, or consider subscribing to services like IPTV that are known for compliance and quality. Here are some factors to consider when selecting an IPTV provider: Ensure the service offers a wide variety of channels and on-demand content, including the genres and networks you enjoy most. Look for services that support HD or 4K streaming and provide reliable uptime without frequent buffering. Make sure the IPTV service supports all the devices you intend to use, such as Android, iOS, Smart TVs, and desktops. A good IPTV service should offer a clean, intuitive user interface that makes browsing and streaming content simple and enjoyable. Reliable customer service is critical. Opt for providers that offer responsive support via chat, email, or phone. Many quality IPTV services offer free trials so you can test the service before committing. Take advantage of these to evaluate performance. As more people around the globe gain access to high-speed internet, IPTV is poised to become the dominant form of television. Traditional broadcasters are already adapting, offering their own IPTV platforms and streaming apps. The boundaries between broadcast television and internet streaming are dissolving, making room for more innovation, personalization, and interactivity. AI recommendations, voice control, and integration with smart home devices are just some of the technological advancements enhancing the IPTV experience. As demand grows, competition among providers will likely increase, leading to better pricing, improved content offerings, and higher quality. While most people associate IPTV with home entertainment, it has a variety of applications in other industries: Hospitality : Hotels use IPTV to offer customized viewing experiences and on-demand content to guests. : Hotels use IPTV to offer customized viewing experiences and on-demand content to guests.

Corporate Environments: Businesses use IPTV for internal communications, live event broadcasting, and training sessions. These examples demonstrate IPTV's versatility and its potential to revolutionize not just entertainment, but information sharing and communication on a broader scale. IPTV is not just a buzzword—it represents a major shift in how we experience television and digital content. By leveraging internet technology, IPTV provides viewers with greater control, accessibility, and a broader selection of content than traditional television ever could. Whether you're a movie buff, sports fanatic, or someone who simply enjoys flipping through channels, IPTV offers a customized viewing experience that suits your lifestyle and budget. As long as you choose a reliable, legal service like IPTV, you can enjoy the full benefits of this modern technology without the limitations of the past. As the media landscape continues to evolve, IPTV is clearly at the forefront, offering a glimpse into the future of entertainment. And for those looking to explore this future today, there's no better time to switch to a smarter, more flexible way of watching TV. TIME BUSINESS NEWS
