Renowned sports commentator Stephen A. Smith recently shared his perspective on the Titan submersible tragedy during his podcast, "The Stephen A. Smith Show." While expressing sympathy for the victims, Smith questioned the motivation behind visiting the Titanic wreckage.

Smith stated his confusion about the allure of exploring the sunken liner, calling such endeavors "unnecessary," despite acknowledging the tragic nature of the incident. He briefly digressed to discuss his admiration for the film "Aquaman" and his preference for the superhero over Batman.

The ESPN commentator then confessed his aversion to adventurous pursuits, citing skydiving and swimming with sharks as examples. He referenced Shaquille O'Neal's shark encounter experiment, expressing his disapproval.

Returning to the topic of the Titan, Smith wondered aloud when people would move on from the Titanic's story, suggesting that James Cameron's 1997 film should suffice. He reiterated his respect for the deceased while questioning their intense curiosity about the wreck.

Smith emphasized that his remarks were not meant to trivialize the loss of life but rather to express his bewilderment at the desire to explore extreme depths. He posed rhetorical questions about the rationale behind such expeditions.

The OceanGate CEO, Stockton Rush, along with Titanic expert Paul-Henri Nargeolet, British billionaire Hamish Harding, Pakistani businessman Shahzada Dawood, and his 19-year-old son Suleman Dawood, perished in the implosion near the Titanic wreckage.
