New evidence strongly suggests that OceanGate’s submersible, which imploded and killed all passengers on its way to the Titanic wreck, was unfit for the journey. The CEO, Stockton Rush, bought discounted carbon fiber past its shelf life from Boeing, which experts say is a terrible choice for a deep-sea vessel. This likely played a role in the submersible’s tragic demise.
both well known experts on submarines, i guess. the scammer mentality: just throw in some random famous names and it will work.> I think it was plainly obvious just looking at the sub yourself. A navigation system that consists of a consumer laptop PC and Logitech gaming controller should have been a dead giveaway.
that is actually one part of the story that i somewhat understand. if you board an airplane and it is clearly in bad shape, you will get the f… out of there - but that is because you have already seen few planes and you know what is standard and what is not.
if you are doing something very few people did before you, you don’t really have the same reference point. so you might be surprised, but you will ultimately convince yourself “well, they probably know what they are doing”.
