the guy was an experienced diver who went down to the james cameron ship 37 times and still went inside that death trap
amazing
From the article, it seems like he was unaware of how shit the submersible actually was.
Literally anyone looking at the submarine could know how shit it was
Like the thing straight up looked incredibly janky. Thin walls and an interior that consisted of a gym mat and a plastic Logitech controller that I could hear the plastic creaking on just through photos of it
It didn't take an engineer to look at it and conclude it was fucked
It's gotta be easy to prove in court that the guy was experienced enough to know better. But I might be wrong.
they were the ones to skimp (heavily) on safety.
for once this penny pinching lead to their suffering instead of ours.
i hope they don't get a penny.
Im pretty sure the family of the guy that was hired to pilot the thing didn't design and build a death tube of brittle carbon fiber
the guy that was hired to pilot
He's alive, he was fired before the accident because he had safety concerns and his boss took over as the pilot.

"I think I've broken them with logic and good engineering behind me. Carbon fiber and titanium? There's a rule you don't do that," Rush said in a 2021 interview with Mexican YouTuber Alan Estrada. "Well, I did."
An expert previously told Insider that photos of the Titan sub wreckage suggest that the most likely explanation for the vessel's implosion was that the carbon-fiber hull collapsed under the immense pressure of the ocean.

dies
Rather poetic, really.
well idk what the French submersible pilot was doing onboard then but i'm still pretty sure it wasn't him or his family designing and cutting corners on the thing
From my broke ass Marxist dialectical analysis perspective I both feel sorry for them because submarines are awesome and who wouldn't want to go in one but at the same time for fucks sake nobody should have that much money it's like a disease ya y'all need treatment
