00:35In 2023 the Titans
00:37Submersible imploded during a Titanic dive
00:40Killing Rush and four others
00:41And proving that innovation
00:43Without safeguards can be fatal
00:45The radioactivity research of Marie Curie
00:48Marie Curie revels
00:50She revolutionized science
00:50By discovering radium and polonium
00:52But she worked without protection for decades
00:55Constant radiation exposure led to a plastic anemia
00:58Ultimately caused
01:00Costing her life
01:00Her notebooks remain dangerously radioactive today
01:05The combat submarine of Horace Lawson Hunley
01:07Hunley helped build the

01:10The first submarine to sink an enemy ship
01:13After earlier
01:15Fatal test runs
01:15He personally joined a mission in 1863
