That submarine imploding near the Titanic will never be not funny. Especially since the guy who designed it believed in the "move fast and break things" nonsense.
Every person on board paid a pretty penny to be on that sub, so no pity from me either (except perhaps for the teenager who was reportedly terrified to go on, but did it to please his rich prick father).
I’ve seen some interesting YT videos about the engineering behind the sub. Turns out, that sub was a ticking time bomb, and many people had warned about it. The controller thing was perfectly fine, but the walls were not.
Their crack detector thing actually detected a problem on the previous trip.... Just nobody checked it....
What the fuck? That's mental. I'd never heard that little nugget before.
Pretty sure it's this one: https://youtu.be/FAAQVntpk00
Goes through the photos to get an idea where it failed (towards one end). Then looks at manufacturing photos (milling down carbon fiber in a pressure vessel is crazy!) then looks at strain guage graphs.
Yeah that's the one I just watched it through. Thanks for the link. Absolutely reckless behaviour from the owner after the previous crack event on dive 80 to go down again. Just so many bad choices.
Fascinating that they had the data to tell them it wasn't safe and just ploughed ahead without examining it.
OMG, that's just insane. It's not an overstatement to say that he had it coming.
