re: The CEO of the company with the missing sub refused to hire qualified crew

Well, he is probably dead so I don’t think it matters if he is charged with a crime.

He could have hired some good ole baws from down the bayou that could have designed a better sub and have that thing U1A stamped.

Also.
Excuse me? 50 year old white dudes can't be inspirational?
How many children grew up dreaming of being astronauts based on what a bunch of 50 year old white guys did?
These people have heard shite repeated so much, they don't even think about it.
When I was 10-15 years old, I wasn't so fricking stupid that I couldn't comprehend aspiring to do what a 50 year old accomplished.
Anyone even mildly capable of such things knows that usually, results come with a LOT of experience.

The hydraulic pressure is not uniform. That is the point.
Going from 14.7 psig (while in the sub) to over 5,700 psig (when the sub cracks) is beyond catastrophic.

Divers acclimate on the way down. That means internal pressure = external pressure. Same on the way up to the surface and if they go up to the surface too fast they get decompression sickness (bends).

The universal assumption in this thread seems to be that this sub is missing due to operator error.
Does anyone have any solid information whatsoever as to why the sub went missing?
Is there any evidence of operator error at this time?

He didn’t want to hire uniquely qualified military vets. That’s the antithesis of the mindset that made this country the best.
Support your military.

Sure… we are just speculating for the hell of it until someone asks nicely.

No, but probably because it was a cheap piece of junk thrown together in a hurry to get investors off the guys back to start cash flow and it failed like it inevitably would.

Hank you're being your usual self.
Nobody is referencing a pilot or operator error besides you.
The issues are the materials of construction, lack of testing said materials, and lack of certification for the vessel
The viewing window was not rated for this depth either.
This CEO is the only person who brought up race, besides you

The Byford Dolphin saturation diving incident in the North Sea is an example of catastrophic depressurization. The people that died in that incident were depressurized from 132.3 psig to 14.7 psig in an instant. This is what happened to the diver's body.
Warning very graphic...not posting it here but here is a link: LINK
Now going from 14.7 psig to over 5,700 psig in an instant...there would be nothing recognizable. I know it's the opposite direction compression versus decompression from the Byford Dolphin incident, but it's not the direction of pressure change that necessarily matters here, it's the rate of pressure differential that matters.

Of course it's uniform, meaning that it's acting evenly all over your body as opposed to a point load.

I don't say this often but you're talking to a subject matter expert. You really don't have that many air voids that would be crushed under sudden pressure. You'd have some ugliness around the ears and eyes but the body would be the same size and would look like a normal body. If you didn't care about ruptured eardrums you could press a diver, very, very fast and not deform him.
Coming up is a different matter once he's been down for any amount of time.

The trip costs $250,000 per person. With that kind of money you’d think they could get a competent rescue crew. The people on there had to sign a liability waiver in case they died on the journey.

Does it? I think it was arrogance and a shitty design. If his "no boring white men" applied to his design process as well, then.......
