  The first spike is the Titanic sinking, and the second little blip is ocean gate.

    Ocean gate? Never heard it referred like that. Funny how gate is just a word for scandal by now. It all started with the Watergate gate.

      Ironically the company is just called ocean gate. It’s purely a coincidence.

      The company was literally named OceanGate Inc. So yeah, it very neatly fell into the “call every scandal [thing]-gate” media habit. The actual sub was named Titan.
