I'm sure the staff/team were aware they were cutting corners and not following regulations, and Im sure the CEO had instilled a "Dont talk to cops" policy as far as Govt agencies, including the Coast Guard and Navy, and whoever.

They probably were aware for whatever reason it had imploded. They were then also stupid enough to talk to the media about it.

We don't know that, didn't you see the sharp protruding nipple things they'd hotglued to the sticks? Maybe they let the 19 year old play some doom on the way down because he was bored and after a particularly stupid death he got frustrated and threw it - nipple first - directly at the window which was pierced and cascaded into the implosion event.

PPP loans were intended to help small businesses pay their bills and their employees during the Covid-19 pandemic, especially given the fallout from all of the lockdowns. The program was definitely gamed, but if you were actually using them as intended, you were eligible for loan forgiveness.

Turns out nobody cared if you actually kept employees on, which was the program's supposed intention

just because the thing imploded two hours into the trip doesnt mean - if that hadnt happened - that the video game controller couldnt have caused some other, even stupider accident further down the line. they just didnt get a chance for that particular set of fuckups to occur.

Yeah the outcome would have been the same regardless, but in waiting 8 hours you're just ensuring the remains get distributed by the ocean currents lol

The sort of guy who would use the cheapest possible video game controller to steer his sub was cutting all sorts of corners, many of which we will never know about.

I should also add that this is in line with the support vessel's crew behavior prior. When they lost the sub for five hours during the CBS report they cut internet access to the ship to keep the CBS reporter from tweeting out for help to the outside world.

Covering up catastrophes is part of their standards of operation apparently.

- $250,000 a ticket
- A cheap Bluetooth Logitech controller prone to disconnects and failures.
- Tiny bolts holding the hatch in place.
- Using carbon fiber for the hull and not titanium.
- The acrylic porthole was only rated for 1,500 meters.
- Firing (and suing!) the safety engineer for refusing to certify the sub.
- Refusing to x-ray the carbon fiber after pressure testing.
- On one of the excursions, one of the impellors was installed backward.
- They "fixed" it by using the controller at a 90-degree angle.
- The CEO refused to hire industry experts and wanted "new innovative blood."
- The CEO removed audio contact with the support vessel because it was too noisy.
- The support vessel knew they imploded for three days without telling anyone.
- PPP loan forgiveness.
- Governments and companies spend millions on trying to dredge up a few techbros while at the same time flipping over boats in the Mediterranean and leaving 750 people to drown
- Active hull monitoring system was acoustic system that most likely gave warning only milliseconds away from disaster.
- Tiny bolts holding the hatch in place were most likely corroding carbon fiber.
- Flammable materials onboard was a fire hazard.
- Ballast was bunch of pipes attached via hooks to side of sub.
- Toilet was a single ziploc bag in a metal box that you cant move.
- Toilet was located Infront of the only window.

the submersible as built and operated, had no rating.

some of the components had individual ratings - like the acrylic front dome window - its manufacturer says it would be safe to use to about 1,300 meters (~5,000 feet), or less than 40% of the depth of the Titanic.

the carbon fiber hull had no particular rating.

the electric thrusters and other external components looked to be off the shelf standard parts and so they each presumably also had various ratings.

I don't think the sub imploded just 1,200 feet down. More like at least three quarters to the bottom, considering it was on the way down and 1 hour and 45 minutes into its nominal 2-hour descent. I assume the descent rate would be more or less constant. Titanic is at 12,500 feet.
