To be fair though, part of the passengers were a father & son participating in a sort of father & son trip in which the son was adamant that he didn’t want to go down in the submarine. He was literally scared. But the father dragged the son down with him, and sadly the son perished inside something he feared.
My local police force routinely touts that nearly 40% of their officers are gay. Its the women. Almost all of their female officers are lesbian. It’s kind of progressive but also kind of feels like cheating
Billionaires like Larry Connor pursuing these expeditions with experimental submersibles seem to be driven more by ego, novelty-seeking, and a reckless desire to conquer challenges that provide little scientific value, rather than any practical purpose that hasn’t already been accomplished. Their decisions to risk their lives in this manner over something so well-explored is stupid and unnecessary.
The Titanic lies at a depth of about 12,500 feet (3,800 metres) and there are only a handful of subs currently rated to go there. I’d bet money this new ass-clown is going to treat safety the same way the last one did.
Reading about their ultra-deep submersibles it does sound like they have the specs for it. I probably wouldn’t dare but it doesn’t seem like they’re fucking around like the lunatics on that Logitech controlled imploder
And you’d be wrong. Triton subs have the only full-ocean-depth commercially rated submersible. It literally has no depth rating, it safe in any part of the ocean. And not just once. Repeatedly.
"You’re remembered for the rules you break. And I’ve broken some rules to make this. The carbon fiber and titanium? There’s a rule you don’t do that. Well, I did.”
There were several people who quit working with OceanGate because their failure would paint all submersibles with a bad reputation. And thanks to morons like you and Stockton, they were right.
Damn, I admit I was guessing after looking at the headlines. Glad to hear someone is attempting to do it safely.
I am familiar with engineering and was amazed at all the corners cut by Oceangate.

Please don’t lump me in with Stockton. I may be a moron in many respects but I disagree with his whole approach the endeavor.
Safety rules are usually written in blood and ignored all of them.
