This is a look at the Ocean Gate disaster. It is not focused on the actual implosion, but on what amounts to the criminal chain of events that reulted in the death of five people.
If you have any interest in the Ocean Gate debacle you will know most of this. You will have heard bits of this from news reports. On the other hand this is the first time where not only wasn't it focused on what happened to the passengers, but it was the first time that we travel the whole road to the disaster. It's a hell of s story and when we hear the sound of the implosion we are sick to our stomach.
This is sad tale. Its the story of a rich man who thought he knew best and who thought his money could buy him what he wanted. The sad thing is that eveyone at Ocean Gate was told at the start what happened was inevitable. They knew from the start it would happen, they didn't know when, and yet they kept going.
Despite knowing how it goes I was still shocked and horrified.
This is a super film. I like that the film always remains steadfastly focued on the people, not the lurid bits.
If you're curious give this film a look.
