It's just been reported that an employee for the company that made the Titanic submersible was fired after doubting its ability to go to extreme depths.
The man warned that the submersible was only certified to go one thousand three hundred meters, or four thousand two hundred feet, and reported that ocean-gate didn't want to pay out additional costs to ensure that the submersible was safe.
OceanGate, the company responsible for the lost Titanic submersible, faced criticism in twenty eighteen from a former employee regarding the safety of the hull of the vessel.
Thank you for watching!

Frequently Asked Questions
Who was the first to say that those who don’t learn from history are ignorant?
While we all would love to live in an ideal world that everyone learns from past mistakes, it is not possible to learn from our own mistakes.
Experience it wrong is the best way to learn.
It is a mistake to not do it correctly the first time.
As long as you keep making changes, you'll eventually find out why you made the change in the first place.
It is possible to discover that you could have done things better the first time around.
This doesn't necessarily mean that you should stop trying. You've learned a lot.
You may not be able to avoid making mistakes, but you can certainly minimize them. That is what will make the difference in success or failure.
Recognizing your mistakes is the first step. Then look at them objectively and ask yourself: "What did I learn?"
Your mistakes will only be lessons if your honesty is honest. They're learning experiences that can help you grow.
Thomas Edison experienced exactly that. He failed many more times before he invented the lightbulb.
He didn't let his failures discourage him. Instead, he saw each failure as an opportunity for improvement in his design.
And over time, he invented the most popular form of lighting today.
So, if you fail, don't get discouraged. Learn from your errors. Please take advantage of them.
You can then try again.
What is the most valuable thing that you have learned in history?
There is no easy answer to this question. Learning can be viewed in three ways. First, knowledge is power. Second, it is important to recognize that knowledge is cumulative. Third, knowledge is constantly changing.
Knowledge is power. It allows us to make better decisions, and improve our lives. If we had complete information, we wouldn't have any difficulty making decisions. We would always do exactly what we wanted without worrying about whether it was right or wrong.
However, while knowledge is power, it is also cumulative. Once we have learned something, we can continue adding knowledge to our brains. As time passes, we get smarter and smarter. Knowledge accumulates.
Now, let's look at the third point. Knowledge isn't static. Knowledge is ever-changing. Every day, scientists discover new facts, theories, and ways of thinking. Every day, scientists discover new facts and theories.
Our culture depends heavily on technology, which makes it possible to have instant access to knowledge. Technology allows you to store massive amounts of data in digital format and share them with millions of people all over the world.
In addition to technology, globalization has changed the way we view knowledge. Globalization refers to the spread of ideas and products across borders. Globalization has made knowledge accessible to everyone.
The internet allows anyone to access information any where in the world. Anybody can access the internet to read, watch movies, listen and play music, as well as surf the net. All these activities require knowledge.
While knowledge is becoming increasingly accessible, it is also becoming more specialized. You can find thousands of websites that offer advice on subjects such as finance, health, business, sports, and travel. These websites provide information on just about every topic.
There are likely to be only a few websites offering automotive-related products or services if you try to search the internet for a car. You won't find thousands of websites covering every subject. Instead, you'll only find a handful that deal with cars.
This specialization is because experts in particular fields can create and distribute valuable knowledge. Experts often have deep knowledge of a field. Experts can also produce content of high quality that is targeted to their particular audience.
This is great news for consumers as they no longer have to search through a lot of useless information. Instead, they can focus their attention on a handful of websites with lots of useful content.
Experts also gain from specialization, as they can create strong businesses around the expertise that they have. If someone purchases a book, they expect the author to be an expert in his field and to present a clear and concise explanation. He wants to know that the author has understood his message.
Experts who do not specialize risk losing potential customers.
It's not necessary to be a specialist in only one area. Most people are experts in multiple areas today. It could be that we are an accountant, a lawyer or a doctor. Or a teacher. Not only are we likely to be a parent or spouse, but also friends, family, and fans.
Experts agree that it is impossible to succeed in one area without being skilled in another.
So how do you become an expert in multiple areas? It's simple: practice. It takes practice to master a skill. As you make progress, you must keep going until you are recognized as an expert.
There are many industries that help others achieve this goal. Many courses, workshops and seminars, as well as schools, teach how to quickly gain knowledge.
What lessons can history teach us?
History has taught us three important lessons. First, you must do it yourself when you change the world. Second, when you change how people live, you must ensure they're ready for it. Third, the future must be better if you want to change it.
First, there are two ways to make the world better. One is fight for it. Fighting for it is about winning, not remembering why you started fighting.
While you cannot control their reactions to your ideas or how they present them, you can influence how they are presented. If you want to persuade someone, you'll eventually fail. If you want to inspire others to act, you will succeed.
Most great movements began because somebody had an idea and decided to act upon it. So whether you're creating change or reacting to it, the best way to make your mark is to follow these three rules: Be clear about what you want, be honest about where you come from, and be brave enough to go where nobody else has gone before.
The second lesson is the fact that we all have the power to make our lives better. We can either allow our lives to unfold, or choose to create them. This means that it is up to us to decide how we want our lives to be. Is it better to decide what kind of life we want or wait for someone else? Or, do we want control of our destiny and take control?
We are living in a golden age, I would argue. There are more possibilities than ever before, which has created a lot of excitement. It's exciting to see people feel empowered to shape their future.
This creates a problem. Because not everyone knows exactly what they want or even how to get it, it's important to figure out what you want and find a way to get it.
For example, let's say you want to buy a house. You could wait and see if someone gives you Home Depot gift certificates. Or, you can ask yourself, "What do I love to be doing?" Look for a job which allows you to do that. Apply for financing.
Now let's imagine you wanted to travel around the world. Perhaps you are asking, "Where do i want to go?" The next step is to start saving money, research countries online, talk with friends, etc. Finally, you would book a plane.
Let's say that you don't have a clear idea of what you want. You would most likely do one of these things. Asking yourself these questions will increase your chances of getting the results you desire. This may seem absurd, but it works.
The third lesson is that you can always improve your future no matter what happens. It is easy to see why. Your choices determine who you are and who you become.
The trick to success is to look back at history and learn from their mistakes and successes.
If you don’t believe you can offer anything, you’re already behind. You must believe in yourself and that you are more than you believed.
If you don't know where to begin, start with what you know. Start small and go from there. Think about what you've learned throughout your life. What have you failed at? What were your successes? What were your greatest achievements?
Last but not least, remember that no one can stop you from reaching your full potential. No matter what anyone says, you can do anything you put your mind to.
Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Nothing works unless you do."
Do we have to learn history in order to avoid making the same mistakes as before?
Because we keep repeating the same mistakes, history repeats itself. We fail to learn from our mistakes. We don't change. We become complacent. We settle to mediocrity.
History repeats itself because we believe the same old stories. We live in a world where we've been conditioned to believe that there are fixed truths and immutable laws. They are immutable laws and truths that we can't change.
This keeps us from being able to think critically. The ability to question authority. By challenging assumptions. We can't learn if we don’t challenge our assumptions. When we don't learn, we stagnate. And when we stagnate, we repeat the same mistakes.
History doesn't repeat itself, because we continue to make the same mistakes. We don't learn from our mistakes, and we keep repeating the same mistakes over and over.
By changing your outlook on the world and understanding that there is no set way, you can break the cycle. There is no set in stone. All things are subject to constant change.
To break the cycle, embrace uncertainty. To accept that things could go wrong. To accept that we may not succeed. Accept that failure may be possible.
Accept that you may not achieve your goals. Acceptance is a part of learning, but it's important to continue improving.
It's impossible to move forward if you hold onto the past. If you believe there are only certain truths, it will be impossible to move forward.
You can't control your destiny. If you want progress, you need to let go of control.

How To
What can humanity learn about the past failures of our ancestors and how can they be improved?
We've been there before, and we'll be back. It's okay to learn from history. It might even help humanity survive another crisis.
Keep an open mind, look for lessons that can help you move forward. We may be able to make it.
The problem is when people fail to learn and refuse to recognize that humanity hasn't changed much from its beginning.
There's a lot of wisdom in the old ways, but we tend to ignore them because they conflict with our beliefs. So instead of embracing changes, we find difficult, we cling to the familiar.
But the world changes and our relationship with it is changing. Our environment is becoming increasingly complex and we have more problems to solve.
This means that we must also change. That makes us vulnerable to failing because we can't rely upon the strategies that worked before.
We lose sight of our values when we do this and we become slaves to the habits we have created.
Our brains evolved to adapt thousands of years ago to changing conditions. Those days aren’t gone forever.
The future isn’t certain. There is still much to be done.
Humans are still capable of great feats. Amazing technologies are possible. To discover new frontiers, and explore unexplored territory.
Yet, we are often tempted to limit ourselves. To fear change. To reject evolution. To believe that the same thing that worked yesterday will work tomorrow.
Some people are trying to reverse this trend. These people see themselves as fighters against the status-quo. Fighting against the establishment. Against the system.
They consider themselves rebels and take pride in challenging convention. They are those who challenge the conventions and norms of society.
They resist rules and regulations. They dislike conformity. They don't pay attention to social expectations. They believe they know more than anyone else.
To them, I say "Good Luck!"
It's going to be very important!
You are fighting an uphill struggle. The forces driving mainstream society are strong.
There are many places on the planet where the majority is not interested in you speaking. They are not interested in hearing your points of view.
It doesn't really matter how brilliant or well-intentioned you might be. Your ideas may not be popular with the masses.
Your message could go unheard. This is why you will need to learn from history.
This is where the true power lies. This is where the real power lies.
This is where you can inspire others to follow their dreams. Where you can build movements that transform societies.
Let me ask: Do you wish to live upto other people's expectations or do you prefer to create your own path? Or would it be better to decide your own path.
