Especially since the hull of that craft was designed by politically correct technicians, and made with paper mache and duct tape.
Designed to implode, I'm surprised that it made it down to see the Titanic before it was crushed {if it did}.
A story in the UK Daily Mail this morning tells the story of an American billionaire who was approached by Stockton Rush selling discounted seats on this thing. When the sales target inquired about the safety of this jerry-built mess, Rush replied “Its safer than crossing the street, safer than scuba diving, etc.”. Interesting that Rush’s company has now shut down operations - I would bet they are judgment proof and if they didn’t have insurance (highly likely) the families can sue but they won’t get much unless they can get through to his personal assets.
The stupidity of this whole thing overwhelms me. A billionaire wasnt smart enough to make sure this thing could withstand the pressure.
I dont know jack about any thing related to diving or going underwater in a submarine but even I know you had better check if it can withstand pressure.. My grandfather was in the navy during one of the Wars and they had to go through all kinds of training .
