Looks like one of those weird off brand controllers from the 90's. Maybe the turbo buttons malfunctioned?

Yeah, this- I have a sinking feeling that we’re all heading for deep sixers if we don’t have a Titanic improvement in the level of discourse here.

Do you think that piece of poo poo happened to have a black box and/or any sort of recording inside it, or are we just going to get a picture or two back of some twisted shrapnel and "it broke :("

I really wonder what the gently caress happened because there's so many ways it could've gone wrong.

So there's no physical connection to the tender, the sub itself doesn't have any inertial navigation or GPS (only good near/on surface), and the only form of communication is via VLF datagrams?

It sure sounds like the tender vessel drops it in the water above the wreck, they sink, and then just drive around the sea bed looking for the debris trail (which they don't always find).

I thought I was interpreting it wrong, but yeah it sure sounds like that.

everything else in that article is totally clownshoes though , no hatch just have someone bolt and hopefully torque the hull back together every time??

Clamping the pressure vessel together with seventeen bolts and a wrench has some downsides, but it’s probably the least bad option for a comedy operation like that.

If they had a quick release, it would have catastrophically failed on the first dive.

If the hatch can really only be opened from outside, it raises the possibility that they managed to surface, and five years from now some fishing boat is going to find it floating around full of corpses with torn up fingers and scratch marks on the inside of the hatch.

Non-legal goon, but all this stuff is fully admissible in court from everything I've read on the matter as it's all public. The whole interview is basically "Yep, I obstructed. Yep, I deliberately did it because gently caress them. Yep, my brain is made of aged cheddar cheese."

To the extent that he has a defense strategy, it's to delay the trial as long as possible and win the presidency. It's his defense strategy because it's HIS defense strategy and he simply can't be lawyered or follow a lawyer's instructions. That's why he's basically confessing to crimes.txt - he thinks the word vomit will win him the presidency and moot everything else. Just another gamble, really. He'll probably admit to more and more as the weeks go on.
