June 22, 20232 yr Hard to believe we haven’t brought this up yet but tragedy brought on by incredible hubris. So many mistakes made
June 23, 20232 yr Sounds like a massive impulsion and death was quick as opposed to running out of oxygen and a slow death, what a shame
June 24, 20232 yr Terrible tragedy. Sad and bizarre story. I feel for those who are gone. As far as myself you seriously couldnt pay me 250,000 to go down that deep in a small vessel and that's what they paid to go down yonder. Sad.
June 25, 20232 yr I feel for the people that were onboard. But I also think that the rich should stop messing with the Titanic deep in the ocean and should leave space exploration to NASA. The company that made the submersible and didn’t make it safe should be liable for what happened. It’s a tragedy what happened, but maybe it leads to more regulation in the industry to keep people a little safer.
June 27, 20232 yr Ive been a PADI certified diver for something like 35 yrs and that thing just looked vulnerable and unsafe as hell The deepest Ive ever been was to 120 ft on a shipwreck and the pressure was griping my dry suit was unreal, I cant imagine more than 2 miles...

Every story that has come out regarding the fabrication of that submersible has looked worse than the prior. He called it innovation but he just didn’t have the money or patience to test his theories before he set them into motion. Crazy that he told that engineer/whistleblower that there was no way to test the sub for pressure capabilities.
July 3, 20232 yr If you want an in depth version of the history of this guy and this thing, the New Yorker article was excellent. https://www.newyorker.com/news/a-reporter-at-large/the-titan-submersible-was-an-accident-waiting-to-happen

July 13, 20232 yr Once again politics and life leave me pissed and sick. Five millionaires get unlimited rescue help, drowning immigrants are give razor wire by Texas governor Abbott.
