Join Lauren and Dee from the Remote Reality podcast as they dive deep into the new Netflix documentary, "Titan: The OceanGate Submersible Disaster." In Part One of this gripping discussion, these legal professionals (a lawyer and paralegal) dissect every shocking detail of the tragedy.

From OceanGate CEO Stockton Rush's ambitious (and controversial) goal to become a "big swinging dick" in the deep-sea exploration world, to the now-infamous detail of steering the Titan submersible with a modified PlayStation controller, Lauren and Dee leave no stone unturned.

They also provide expert insights into the complex world of maritime law, exploring the intricate jurisdiction issues in international waters that played a significant role in the OceanGate saga. Plus, they break down the critical poor financial planning that plagued the company, raising questions about the safety culture and decisions made leading up to the catastrophic implosion.

This isn't just a recap; it sheds light on the hidden complexities and crucial details you might have missed.
