re: Titanic tourist submarine goes missing

Everything you love about deep water diving is because of 50 year old white guys.

"The third day of diving provided an excellent opportunity to highlight Antipodes' capabilities to OceanGate’s newest board member and ocean advocate, David de Rothschild. Mr. de Rothschild’s excitement about his dive experience was clear. “We’re at a time when businesses need to think beyond the boundaries of traditional thinking and explore ways to not only grow financially but also manage and integrate a clear and responsible social and environmental vision,” he said. “In my opinion, OceanGate optimizes this ethos throughout. That’s why I am proud and excited to join their board on their epic adventure to become a world leader in ocean exploration and research.”

I am making a sub too similar to Titan. I already have the base built

I wonder how the legal system works in desperate situations like this.

Let’s say there were two people on this sub, Jim and Joe. They get stuck on the bottom with limited oxygen and every hour counting as far as surviving long enough to be rescued. Jim gets it in his mind to end Joe and increase his chances of survival with more oxygen for himself. He does so and the oxygen conserved lasts just long enough for Jim to be rescued and survive the situation.

What legal consequences does Jim face?

There are five people on the OceanGate sub (assuming it’s intact and they are alive), so I don’t know that someone would even be able to resort to this if they wanted to. I know it doesn’t long for civilized people to turn barbaric, though, in a life or death situation.

This is mind boggling. Allow yourself to be bolted in a coffin while alive and dropped into the ocean depths.

2 former OceanGate employees voiced safety concerns years ago about the hull of the now-missing vessel

Lochridge brought up concerns that no non-destructive testing had been performed on the Titan’s hull to check for “delaminations, porosity and voids of sufficient adhesion of the glue being used due to the thickness of the hull,”

Another former OceanGate employee who worked briefly for the company during the same time period as Lochridge had similar concerns.

The former employee became concerned when the carbon fiber hull of the Titan arrived, he said, echoing Lochridge’s concerns about its thickness and adhesion in his conversation with CNN. The hull had only been built to five inches thick, he said, telling CNN company engineers told him they had expected it to be seven inches thick.

He said more concerns were raised by contractors and employees during his time at OceanGate, and Rush became defensive and shied away from answering questions during all-staff meetings. When the former employee raised concerns directly to Rush that OceanGate could potentially be violating a US law relating to Coast Guard inspections, the CEO outright dismissed them, the former employee said, and that’s when he resigned.
