Stockton is being slammed on social media after an old video of him talking about the submarine went viral. In the video, he can be heard saying, “I’d like to be remembered as an innovator. I think it was General Mc Arthur who said that you remember the rules you break. And I have broken some rules to make this.” He further mentioned how he has incorporated logic and good engineering. This video has angered people online as they are accusing him for defying laws of physics which has put lives in danger.

“See. See. Rich bastards always think rules don’t apply to them. That, rules and laws are for the small people. How has trying to defy the laws of physics working out for ya,” wrote a Twitter user while putting forward the video.

Here, have a look:

“The irony of the titanic submarine ignoring established safety measures when the actual titanic *checks notes* did the exact same thing,” wrote a Twitter user. Another person mentioned, “He’ll be remembered for being an arrogant fool.”

Meanwhile, Simpsons fans are claiming that the cartoon show predicted the missing Titanic submarine in 2006. It happened in an episode produced by Mike Reiss who took a trip himself in the missing Oceangate sub. Towards the end of the episode, an oxygen-low light flashes up on the screen, and Homer begins to drift out of consciousness. As a result of this, Homer woke up in the hospital after being in a coma for three days, surrounded by his family.
