Same for the tail cap popping off during implosion.
I saw that and just shook my head. He came across as very arrogant.
I’d expect their bodies to be intact.
(But dead).
Nope. Instantly applying 5,200 lbs/psi from every direction leaves nothing but chemicals behind. There are no bodies. Just slightly saltier water.
People die every year attempting to climb Mt. Everest.
Heck, even some die just fishing from a bass boat in still water.
Ya think!?
Groan...
Reminds me of how so many of today’s young and young-ish liberals in business seem to have such inflated notions of their own capabilities, and have blind faith that “science” can make anything possible. I think it starts with the “progressive” mindset that believes anything new must be better, and that everything that existed before their “brilliance” arrived on the scene is “old and outdated.” These companies also tend to be disproportionately marketing-focused, which I think is a bit of monkey see, monkey do, imitating what they’ve seen from companies like Apple. This effect is clearly visible in how pretty much every “hip, progressive” company today announces products through the same kind of stilted, pretentious, slickly produced events that Apple uses. They’re all imitating a style, but unfortunately in many cases are apparently making engineering and quality a lower priority to the “sizzle.”
Today’s leftist entrepreneurs just seem to think that if they talk about something then that makes it possible. Maybe that comes from the “everyone gets a trophy” generation, and how “awesome” and “special” they were all told they were. This all explains how so many people were easily taken in by a complete fraud like Elizabeth Holmes. Today’s leftists are superficial by nature themselves, so they’re easily fooled by anyone who displays the correct “style”, spouts the right “hip” jargon, and who is hyper-ambitious and charismatic. Unfortunately, these same people are famously allergic to facts, logic, and objective truth. That can be catastrophic for them and their endeavors.
Nice post.
I might add, regarding Apple: Back when Jobs ran it (the Nineties and the Oughts), there was steak to go along with the sizzle.
Critical theory had not yet taken over engineering.
Wouldn't signed release forms kinda prevent that?
A LOT of our modern aircraft are GLUED together.

We don’t know if it was dark inside.
Of course by hand!
Robots tend to only be used in a high-volume, production line operation.

indeed!
But where’s the link?
physically
It doesn't really matter now, does it?
“Wouldn’t signed release forms kinda prevent that?”
Normally....but considering the damning info and rhetoric that has ‘since’ come out from Stockton himself on how he cut corners.... I’m betting not. The people that signed those waivers had false expectations that all safety measures had been taken. They were not. The waiver signers were lied to, IOW.
“Stockton proudly hired only neophyte DEI children for his engineers, instead of experienced submarine engineers, eschewing experienced sub engineers as fuddy duddy “old white men”...”
“”Stockton proudly”” are the key words here. His arrogance caused this incident, just as pride indeed does ‘goeth before a fall’. Some have compared Stockton’s pride to that of the Titanic builders when they claimed it was “unsinkable”. Ironic.
